What’s worse, he’s forced to take a deadly, experimental drug that shrinks his body to the age of seven.

Got your detective hat in hand? Have you been watching Detective Conan (Case Closed) and can't get your fill after 700+ episodes of murder and mayhem? Then give Kinaichi Shounen a try.

Or if you're watching Kindaichi, and never heard of Conan but you're liking this mystery thing, check out Detective Conan. But mind you, there is a great deal of Conan. Like, clear your calendar for a few months amount of episodes.

Both protagonists are incredibly smart and always seem to be around when someone kicks the bucket or is kidnapped.

Many of the stories are episodic or mini arcs.

Hyouka

TV (22 eps)
2012

"If I don't have to do it, I won't. If I do have to do it, make it quick," is the basic principle by which energy conservationist Houtarou Oreki lives. But after his sister convinces him to join the Classics Club, Houtarou's life is turned upside down when he meets Chitanda, a perpetually-inquisitive girl who challenges the boy's easygoing existence. Intrigued by the slightest hint of a mystery afoot, Chitanda doesn't hesitate to pester the reluctant yet highly analytical Houtarou into satisfying her curiosity at every turn, no matter how small the problem. Alongside fellow members Satoshi and Ibara, the group tackles cases ranging from a self-locking classroom door, a strangely-popular library book, and even the shadowy history of the very club to which they belong!
