Fan Art from “Detective Conan: Police Academy Arc” - It’s Getting an Anime Adaptation?!

Detective Conan (known as Case Closed in some regions) is a beloved series in Japan. The 100th volume of the manga is slated for release on October 18th, 2021. This successful series has had many movies as well as spin-offs, and it was recently announced that the spin-off Detective Conan: Police Academy Arc - Wild Police Story is getting an anime adaptation.

This arc takes place in the past and focuses on five characters, colloquially known as the Keisatsu Gakkou-gumi (警察学校組, lit. “police academy crew”). These five are: Rei Furuya - the serious straight A student, Hiromitsu Morofushi - a man with a strong sense of justice and previous trauma involving an accident with his parents, Jinpei Matsuda - an outrageous and uncooperative man with a high level of expertise, Kenji Hagiwara - a man with great insight and communication skills who’s terrible with women, and Wataru Date - a natural leader who’s been influenced by his father’s resignation from the force.

Seven years after graduation, only Rei Furuya will be left alive. But you may still find yourself falling in love with these compelling characters. Do any of the fan art works below hit you in the feels?
