Becoming the Most Popular Person in the Detective Conan World Through Handshakes

[Blurb]

Sugawara Kotone has transferred schools again, this time with her twin brother Kenta, to Kitauji High School, a powerhouse in wind music.

She sighs and tells Kenta to carry her euphonium into the classroom.

"Wait, wait, Kotone, do you play the euphonium too?" asks a cute short-haired girl in surprise.

"Welcome to the concert band, Sugawara," says the brown-haired, curly-haired club president, holding out a friendly hand.

Kotone scratches her head and shakes Kumiko's hand, unable to bring herself to say it: she comes from a family renowned for wind music, and she doesn't just play the euphonium. She also plays the trumpet, trombone, tuba, French horn, clarinet, saxophone, and flute.

Every instrument that can be played shines in her hands.

Upcoming story: Becoming the Most Popular Person in the Detective Conan World Through Handshakes

Saionji Kourin is an utterly ordinary Tokyo office worker. She arrived in this world with all her memories intact, and who could have guessed she would become one of the biggest bugs in the Detective Conan world...

With a supernatural ability to see someone's future by shaking their hand, she has practically rubbed the whole of Japan raw over the past twenty-three years.

Think she's just a creepy woman who likes shaking hands? No, she does occasionally do good deeds.

"Don't go out tonight! You'll get hurt!" she tells the handsome blond man with dark skin who works at Café Poirot.

If he gets hurt, he'll have to take time off. If he takes time off, she won't get to eat his delicious sandwiches or drink his sweet lattes.

"Remember to lock your doors and windows. You know there have been a lot of thieves lately." This time, she's talking to a bespectacled, squinty-eyed graduate student who lives alone in the house across the street.

Of course, she can't tell him that the one who sneaks into his house is that café employee.

"Watch out for traffic. Don't get hit, okay?"

A stranger dressed in black with flowing silver hair, whom she's met only once, looks at her with a cold, questioning gaze.

"You're planning to sneak out when I'm not paying attention, aren't you? Nearly getting hit by a car is bad enough, but you'll scare the kids too."

This is the genius bomb disposal expert she took in a few years ago, who nearly got blown up on the Ferris wheel. (Disfigured version.)

"Hakuba, keep an eye on your hawk! Ahhh, it's about to poop!"

And there's her father's friend's son, a younger guy who came back from studying in England.

The deeper someone's feelings for Kourin, the further into the future she can see.

So the future she can see gradually stretches from a few seconds ahead, to later that day, next week, next month, next year... until all she sees is a black screen and rewinding footage.

Does that mean the end of her life? Kourin feels uneasy, surprised, embarrassed, and relieved. It seems she and everyone else have become very close friends...

But then...

The handsome blond man with dark skin: "Kourin, will you be my girlfriend? I'll always protect you."

The squinty-eyed graduate student: "As your neighbor, I don't want you getting too close to that café employee."

The silver-haired man in black: "Would you like to see the other side of this world?"

The "bandage freak" at home: "If you're going to date anyone, I should be first!"

The younger guy back from studying abroad: "With you around, Miss Kourin, I feel much more confident about my deductions."

Most important of all, there's Miss Ran, looking at her with adoration, the detectives, and a certain little boy secretly seething with frustration.

Kourin: I'm doomed! Everyone loves me so much!!!

Conviction: Grow toward the light, and make the ordinary extraordinary.
