Relationships of Detective Conan Characters

Relationships between characters, especially romantic ones, figure heavily into the plot of Detective Conan, more-so than the average shōnen manga. Many of the characters have some connection with a number of the other characters, sometimes in the past. Childhood sweethearts, childhood friends, and childhood connections are particularly common. Romance triangles and personalized conflict between mutual enemies are also frequently used plot devices.
