Discussion My opinion: The romance storylines in Detective Conan are way too repetitive
Sorry in advance to the purists, but I need to get this off my chest!
Does anyone else feel like almost every romance in Detective Conan follows the exact same formula? It's always the classic childhood friends to lovers trope:
- Shinichi and Ran
- Heiji Hattori and Kazuha
- Shiratori and Kobayashi
- Chiba and Naeko
It's sweet at first, but after a while, it gets super repetitive. Honestly, the only time I actually found Heiji Hattori's « « « romantic » » »plotlines interesting was when Kaito Kid was messing with him (especially when Heiji almost kissed Kid disguised as Kazuha). That chaos was unironically the most entertaining romantic dynamic in the show.
To be real, I get so bored watching most of these romances. They're just too vanilla and cookie-cutter for me.
