As a warning, police-adjacent groups are excluded from this list. As such, unless the organization is explicitly referred to as part of a police force, they won't be included.

Due to the huge numbers of police-related titles, the female police titles have been excluded and can be found in the stack Female Detectives alongside adjacent titles.

Additionally, as someone else already created a stack specifically dedicated to BL police (and detective) work, those are excluded from this list. Don't hesitate to check the other stack out if you're interested.

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!

Regardless of the version you wanna try, you're not gonna regret the experience. If you don't know the manga version, I recommend watching the drama first. And if you liked it, just read the manga afterwards.
