Sherlockian Detective with Uncanny Deductive Abilities

I'm looking for a detective manga where the protagonist is a deductive genius, like Sherlock Holmes.
---- Emphasis should be on solving cases through logical deductions, rather than technology.
---- Other people should be stumped by the detective's genius. 😀
---- Doesn't have to be a traditional 'detective,' but the mysteries must involve detective work.
---- Episodic mysteries leading up to a greater, all-encompassing mystery.
---- Intelligent storytelling and snappy dialogue.
---- NO ECCHI, but mature content is okay.
Any takers? 🙂

Detective Conan? It was the first thing that came to mind - there are most likely many others.

Detective School Q, I guess.
Probably Q.E.D. and C.M.B. - though I have yet to verify that myself.
Ayatsuri Sakon and Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo - sadly, scanlations are unlikely to continue.
Hyakka Teien no Higeki is completely outside your specifications (it's only 1 volume long); but if you're interested in a very unique detective story, you should try it.

The only ones I've read from your recs are Detective Conan and Ayatsuri Sakon! That leaves me PLENTY of new material!
Please keep reccing, folks!
(Oh, and supernatural mysteries are also okay, as long as the meat of the detection is done via deduction. So, like, a really clever exorcist who can figure things out from clues and minimal details is also ok. Just thought I should say so.)

Gonna recommend it even though I'm sure you've already read it: Ghost Hunt
Can't think of anything else aside from some things already mentioned ...

Well, it's not exactly detective work, but Liar Game might fit your criteria.

Maybe Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro ...
While I do love Neuro myself, I don't think it fits due to the fact that Neuro just uses demon technology to solve his cases.

I just read a few pages , so I didn't know if it was about deduction or not 😐

I second this. The guy is a freakin genius. It's not exactly "detective" stuff, but he solves... uh, puzzles I guess.

You are like the dense main character in a shoujo manga.
