Rated T+ for Older Teens from Viz Media.

The North Branch Library has books volume 1

Volume descriptions:

Volume 1
Ghastly beheadings, bloody murders, and cold-hearted child abductions--

Precocious high school student Jimmy Kudo uses his keen powers of observation and astute intuition to solve mysteries that have left law enforement officials baffled. Hot on the trail of a suspect, Jimmy is accosted from behind and fed a strange chemical which physically transforms him into a grade schooler! Taking on the pseudonym Conan Edogawa, he attempts to track down the people who did this to him. But until he finds a cure for his bizarre condition, Jimmy continues to help the police solve their toughest cases.

Can you crack the case before Conan does?

Elizabeth was the one who recommended this series, and I agree with her. It is very cute and clever. The artwork has a retro feel to it, in keeping with the theme of the classic detective stories.
