Rules are the same: there is no anime adaptation, manga must be good plus it should be pretty underrated.

Vol I: stacks/4593
My favourite one-shots: stacks/5034

These manga are set in a bookstore- although the characters may not stay there! From manga recommending booksellers to bookshop romances, from mystery solving bibliophiles to mysterious bookshops, there's something here for everyone.

Please do not hesitate to drop me a line if I've forgotten a bookshop. Libraries and librarians are in a separate list.

(Note) check out Reibai Tantei Jozuka Hisui is another shoujo mystery Manga which is yet to be added MAL database..
Onna Tantei Mayumi no Yuuwaku Jikenbo is another one you can read..

A manga list for book lovers, about book lovers, made by a fellow book lover! Currently a work in progress.

This list is pretty much just a compilation of all Aoyama's recommendations (Detective Picture Book segment), it's on the dust jacket of every Detective Conan manga volume, it lists also his favourite book/episode/chapter from the series, I'll be listing all the manga, or manga related ones, but please check out the full list if you are interested in detective fiction!

Just a fair warning, there's a lot of Japanese detectives, and sometimes famous ones like Poirot and Miss Marple that have been adapted as anime, this list is only for manga (And some light novels), but I might make one for anime at some point. I was going over the list and noticed Millionaire Detective was adapted from a novel by Yasutaka Tsutsui (He also wrote A Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Paprika! It's a small world huh) I'm not going to include it in this list, but I just thought I'd let you know.

Another point while I was compiling it, a lot of these are unknown outside of Japan, and I personally can't read Japanese (Maybe in the future!), I've tried doing my best in finding related material, however If I missed any, I apologise. Please also forgive me for not providing more in-depth descriptions, I like detective fiction, however a lot of these I haven't heard or read, please check them out if you are interested in any.

If you have any criticism, I'll do my best to fix any mistakes, thank you!
