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)

I haven't finish reading this manga yet but still I want to write something about this. Currently I'm on the middle of the whole story, volume 5 and the next case that I'm going to read is about Assassin Bob. Anyway this manga have some similarities with Q.E.D where there is a brain and body on every case but to be honest I love Q.E.D more on this because Q.E.D sound logical for me in terms of solving crime while Remote are more on action instead on the story of the crime presented but still I recommend to manga for mystery crime genre. One of ... the things that make me enjoy reading is that the author incorporate some romantic thingy as the story progress about the situation of the main character with her fiance and his current boss in the police.

In the beginning, the premise sounds pretty solid. For the most part, the mysteries are engaging. I always wanted to find out the who in the who-dun-it, and found that I could follow most of the clues presented. I also liked that it followed the story of a woman about to be married rather than a teen looking for a boyfriend, which was a refreshing change of pace.

I rated this so low however because the characters detract so much from it. They all seem one note: Kouzaburo is brooding and angry, the fiancee is a dolt with nookie on the mind, the police officers are ... incompetent and sexist. But mainly my problem was with the heroine Ayuki. She starts off as an incompetent character. Although they try to show her developing into a stronger, more confident woman they don't portray it very well. At the end of the story she comes off as a prat (and still pretty incompetent).

Overall, if you're really in the mood for a mystery manga, I would hesitate to suggest this one. There are probably far better ones worth your time.
