Remote (Manga)

I did not like this manga, but I will tell you what its about. A shut in genius detective who never leaves his room, and needs someone to work the ground following his instructions over the cellphone. It doesn't matter how incompetent a police officer the person is either as they promote a meter maid who is completely useless as a cop.

The ecchi element is nice though. Lots of fan service and since its a seinen there is nudity and people don't just get cut, they lose arms and get torn in half sometimes.

I tried, I read until chapter 25, but I can't put up with the characters in this story anymore. The story itself is interesting, but the characters are unbelievably weak. I liked the story too, I tried solving a couple of the riddles myself in this one because they seemed interesting and I understood them, but dear god the protagonist is too painful to read about...

The story is good, the puzzles are logical, they give good reasons for most of what happens. I did feel like the stories were a little bit too convenient though... The detective was always in the right place at the right time, tying her to each of the cases before she was even part of the cases. Like mysteriously she just so happened to be meeting her friend at the spot where a clown murder was taking place, or she was having dinner at a cafe just as a bomb was about to go off.

When I say the characters are weak, I only mean the protagonist, Ayaki. Her partner Himuro actually has a personallity like mine. He's screaming at her "THERES MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO BE DOING, SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE IN 5 MINUTES" and shes breaking down crying saying she wants to treat the child who scraped his knee. Then she screams back at him "HOW CAN YOU BE SO COLD!!!"... I seriously want to punch her right now....

Although they kill the character Ayaki even more than she already was being killed with her personallity by treating her like a piece of "Incompetent hot ass". She gets her but slapped by her superior and no one complains or anything. She does almost nothing and if it wasn't for the fact that she mysteriously happens to be in the right place at the right time, then she would literally just be a hot piece of ass. I mean that as in she happens to be the person a serial killer is basing his killings off of and she finally realizes it after about 5 clues which ends up solving the case.

Overall if you don't mind characters like King Yuuri who refuses to shed blood in his kingdom under any circumstances from Kyo Kara Maoh, or the kid who tries to sell his girlfriend into being raped because he gets bullied from The Breaker then you might wanna try reading this. Although if your like me, you might pop a vein in the mean time. read more

Remote was a very good read but the ending leaves one wondering about what happen and what could happen.Some enjoy the whole come up with your own ending but at times i just want them to tell me. Never the less just like every other good manga out there that has a good story line but at some point the author give up or something and comes up with a bad ending. But I still recommend this manga to any one who likes the whole police cases and romance put together. And it was fun trying to put the pieces together for some cases. I got some right at lest. (giggle) Oh I almost forgot the ecchi parts where very very nice even me being a girl thinks so. (giggle) read more
