Found: Remote, vol 10
I’m not familiar with the series, but I had to post this one for the art.
I love artists who can actually draw clothing, and I have to say, that’s a nice sweater. (snicker if you must, and yes I know I just told you to stare at her chest and some of you will find your focus… elsewhere… but I mean it: that’s a nice sweater)
SO, I wasn’t familiar with it, but 2 seconds pulls up Remote on the ANN Encyclopedia and @Tokyopop — from the Tokyopop page:
Kurumi Ayaki is told by her fiance that they will have to put off the wedding — they just can’t afford it yet. They both decide to work harder to earn the money, and Kurumi is given the assignment of working in the Unsolved Crimes Division, Special Unit A. This is where she meets Inspector Himuro, a young genius who is unable to leave the underground room in which he resides, and who is physically unable to feel emotions. She acts as his ears and eyes as they attempt to uncover the mystery of the serial clown murders.
Now, “serial clown murders” might be considered a deal breaker (though clowns are obvious villains) but when Kurumi looks like that …I’m willing to give it a shot.
Remote, Story by Seimaru Amagi, Art by Tetsuya Koshiba.
Complete at 10 volumes; US editions 2004-06, some of the early volumes may be out of print. But I’ll be looking for these.
