List of differences between the manga and anime

Season 1 - Episodes 1-28

Roller Coaster Murder Case (Episode 1) & The Heisei Holmes (Chapter 1)

• The first episode of the anime includes the Detective Boys who don't appear until many chapters later in the manga.
• Hiroshi Agasa and Kogoro Mouri also appear in this episode, whereas in the manga they make their debut in the Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case.
• The mansion owner kills his wife in the manga. In the anime the owner kills his friend, Yamazaki.
• In the manga, Reiko points out that Gin and Vodka could have committed the murder as they were behind the victim. Shinichi acknowledges that they look suspicious, but if they pulled off the murder, they would have anticipated the arrival of the police (which they don't as they are in a hurry to pull off their transaction).
• Shinichi uses a camera when spying on Vodka, whereas in the anime, he simply just listens to the deal going on.

Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case (Episode 2) & The Great Detective Turned Small, The Unwelcome Great Detective, The Sixth Smokestack & The Other Perpetrator (Chapters 2-5)

• The younger Shinichi is in a medical center at Tropical Land whereas in the anime he runs off after being awoken by the police.
• Rather than showing Conan being introduced to his new class (with Genta, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko as students), the manga version of the story end with Conan reflecting on how he is incapable of fighting the bad guys in his younger form.

An Idol's Locked Room Murder Case (Episode 3) & From Third-Rate to Great Detective, The Bloody Case of the Lovely Pop Idol, Resemblance & An Unfortunate Misunderstanding (Chapters 6-9)

• In the anime, Genta, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko introduce themselves to Conan and follow along on the case. The Detective Boys don't appear in the manga until Volume 2.
