A rare 10 from a picky Person

If you think this goes nowhere then Conan, Kindaichi and virtually every other detective manga are guilty too (during much of its life, usually only change nearing completion).

With this at least the characters are being developed and really good at that albeit slowly (you could tell how Touma definitely but slowly began to change over the course of the series, thing I never feel on Conan or Kindaichi), this has the effect of seemingly boring but I never feel that way whenever I read this manga and the characters keep growing on me.

Also this one does not exclusively revolve around murder and dead body, in fact as the series progress there are more and more interesting and/or quirky case with equally interesting resolution and trivia involving broad range of subjects other mystery series could only touch the surface.

As a whole one could regard this as a slice of life with a lot of interesting mystery and twist on it, both done very well. IMO, this is one the best in its genre.

good but bad

This thing is good but also bad

the cases and characters are all interesting

but this manga doesn't have main plot, or even recurring antagonist, it can goes on forever but that's the bad thing

The weirdest thing is even after solving 60+ cases (in vol 35 now), some even in global scale, HE NEVER GOT FAMOUS!!

He never become a famous detective or anything, so his character traits never change from the 1st volume! He is always an MIT graduate and a high school student

Even after helping the police dozens time, he is never asked to help solving a crime, all his cases are either coincidently stumbling on a case or his friends from university ask for help.
There was also no explanation of what happened after a case, criminal got caught by deduction and that's it, was the news published on newspaper or any media is never known.

so we can summary all story in qed like this :
Coincidently stumble in a case > solved the case > bad guy got caught > done
most story goes like that and there is almost no relation between cases at all.

first time around it was interesting, then it's just bizarre and stoopid,
This is far cry from Conan and Kindaichi, figures...

edit : CMB is more interesting, and evolved version of QED

This is much much better than Conan

The closest detective manga I can relate Q.E.D to is Conan and Q.E.D may have some similar concepts to Conan but in Q.E.D the stories are more thoughtful, the characters have more depth, the annoying plot in Conan which detached itself mostly from the cases is nowhere to be found etc. I could go on and on.

I'll hold back on saying this is the best mystery manga I've ever read, because it's not. But it is a good mystery manga, and I do hold some respect for it. I never get into this genre.

I've only read the first volume. The cases are certainly interesting, and I really like the characters. BUT the killers rely far too much on an incredible amount of coincidence and on everyone doing the right thing at the right time, stuff they could never have predicted. It's not believeable at all! I hope it gets better as the author gets a better grip on what he's doing.

Mediocre manga  
by Axelion

Man I remember reading this series way long ago. Almost forgot about it. I'd say that the plot is quite mediocre. The mystery itself is not that interesting. Touma is a genius who graduated from M.I.T. His ability of deduction allows him to solve the case easily but I feel something wrong within his characteristic. He seems lonely in some point. I read through vol.9 and there was no almost character development at all. I'm pretty sure this series will make you sleepy enough if you're not patient to wait for something interesting to happen.

The perfect shounen mystery series

I like Detective Conan, but I love Q.E.D. I love that the author has clearly actually been to (or at least researched) foreign countries and draws sympathetic non-Japanese characters, including non-white ones. The main characters seem like real people (a rarity for mystery manga), and the cases are varied and complex. I like the level of scientific detail included, though it can be a little hard to read if your Japanese isn't so good.
