Spoiler warning: This volume guide discusses the Rum Arc, Camel’s hidden identity, Mary Sera, Rumi Wakasa, and the Black Organization. It covers the release date and chapter list for Volume 108.
Answer: The Japanese edition of Detective Conan Volume 108 was released in Japan on April 8, 2026. It collects the dangerous Camel-Wakita reunion, the four-part Chaos story, the blackmail-photo arc involving Masumi Sera and Mary Sera, and the opening of the ring-and-hot-spring story.
Detective Conan Volume 108 (Japanese Edition) Release Date
Early announcements placed the next volume in spring 2026, and the confirmed release date is April 8, 2026. This article uses the confirmed date rather than the earlier seasonal estimate.
Because Volume 108 continues several major threads, it is more than a routine collection of cases. The book moves the Rum Arc from reader knowledge toward discoveries made by Conan and the FBI.

Volume 107: A Quick Review
Before listing Volume 108, it helps to place it after Volume 107. The previous volume contains Files 1134-1143:
- File 1134 — A Chance Meeting
- File 1135 — Cutting the Gordian Knot
- File 1136 — A Once-in-a-Lifetime Encounter
- File 1137 — The Sacred Light of the Dead
- File 1138 — The Flames Burn Again
- File 1139 — Sifting Through the Ashes
- File 1140 — Entrusted
- File 1141 — Richard’s Tryst
- File 1142 — Who’s the Liar?
- File 1143 — Like a Puff of Smoke
Earlier in the Volume 107 storyline, Tooru Amuro realizes that Conan is Shinichi Kudo. That background makes the next volume’s Organization material feel connected rather than isolated.

Files 1144-1146: The Organization Thread and Camel-Wakita
The opening group begins with Conan remembering Suguru Itakura, Tequila, and older Black Organization clues. Andre Camel appears after hiding his identity with short hair, but Kanenori Wakita encounters him. Haibara’s danger sense also reacts to Wakita, creating a three-way threat around Camel, Haibara, and Conan.
Camel and Rum Have Met Before
During Shuichi Akai’s operation to capture Gin at a factory, an elderly visitor appeared and Camel spoke to him, causing the operation to fail. Earlier chapters identify that visitor as Rum. In the first reunion scene, Rum may remember Camel; later, Camel remembers the elderly visitor from Akai’s operation, and the two recognize each other as the Chaos sequence begins.
Files 1147-1150: The Crucial Moment of Chaos
The four-part Chaos story continues immediately from the Camel-Wakita reunion. Wakita tries to abduct Camel, only for a new case to interrupt the plan. Camel is then in danger of being taken into custody, while Rumi Wakasa appears and forces the Rum thread into a new confrontation.
Rumi Wakasa Turns the Pressure Back on Rum
Wakita appears to have nearly identified Wakasa as Asaka and moves against her. In the scene, Wakasa recognizes Wakita as Rum. The result is an unusual reversal in which Rum is the character under immediate pressure, while the exact extent of Wakita’s certainty remains part of the tension.
This is a decisive step because readers already knew Wakita was Rum from Volume 100, while Volume 108 advances Conan and the FBI toward the same conclusion. By the later files, Conan and the FBI become certain enough to act on it. The FBI then visits Iroha Sushi, and the recognition is completed within the volume rather than left as a future question.
Files 1151-1153: The Blackmail-Photo Story
Masumi Sera and Mary Sera lead the next group of files. The story may resolve the thread around Mary’s unexplained cough, and its victim is connected to the hotel serial-bombing case. The key danger is that the victim may possess a photograph showing Masumi and Mary.
Mary’s Photograph Becomes Public
Masumi tries to keep the photograph from circulating, but it reaches the public. Because Mary’s survival and childlike state are dangerous information, the photograph puts her under renewed pressure.
Rum Reconsiders APTX 4869
Rum knows about Mary’s de-aging and revisits the idea that APTX 4869 can reverse a person’s age. This sets up a closer investigation of the drug; it does not establish that he has solved its science or reproduced its effect.
File 1154: The Ring and the Hot Spring
The volume closes with the beginning of the ring-and-hot-spring storyline, involving Chihaya Hagiwara, Jugo Yokomizo, Jinpei Matsuda, and Kenji Hagiwara. File 1154 begins this storyline and belongs to Volume 108.
Why Volume 108 Matters
Volume 108 is important because it moves the Rum Arc from reader knowledge toward active recognition by the characters. Camel and Wakita meet, Rumi Wakasa identifies Wakita as Rum, and Conan and the FBI progress from collecting clues to enough certainty to act. The FBI separately visits Iroha Sushi as part of that response.
The blackmail-photo story adds a second pressure point around Mary Sera and APTX 4869, while the final ring case opens a separate police-family thread. The volume therefore combines long-running Organization consequences with a new investigation.
Conclusion: The Japanese edition of Volume 108 was released on April 8, 2026 and contains the Camel-Wakita reunion, the Chaos arc, the blackmail-photo arc, and the start of the ring-and-hot-spring story. Its central progression is from the reader’s earlier knowledge of Wakita’s identity to the characters’ completed recognition and action inside the volume.
