i love math but i'm not studying it enough in univ coz it's not my subject. QED gives me interesting information about many thing.
and, also love to see the relationship between toma and kana.hehee...

Its a really good manga, i love the femc alot, mc is great

This manga does go into some very advanced stuff, so some stuff may go over your head like it did with mine, but that did not hinder my enjoyment of the manga.

What i reaply like is the manga does not focus solely on mirders, it does focus on them alot, but there are cases where they are investigating different things, i wont say as it may spoil stuff, but ita overall an enjoyable read

well, dunno if he is kinda of detective or not
he never said he is as it, but one thing is true
HE IS GENIUS, even people around him acknowledge it


as the story tell on very first volume, he is just want to enjoy his high school life which (dunno if right or no) he lost when he jump into MIT when he young, he just want to experience it
But even now he is High school, he is already (correct me if i'm wrong) graduate from MIT
he is acknowledge by another researcher there
mostly in math field (so don't be surprised if you got a case which involve math formula, which is fun to read but you never understand)
Well, Kana, I know your feeling

as wuhugm said he is not famous as detective, but at least as researcher he is acknowledge by people around him
well, mostly the case is murder, but it just coincidence when he or Kana are around,


but to make you interested to read it, this manga have comedy on his own
while it's like Conan in term of comedy, the stoic and dense Touma is main point here
give it a try, the charms of this series lay on the math, the comedy duo, and the short-solved case
Q.E.D

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 completely agree with nugro guy below. i will only add some.

reading qed is like watching the beautiful mind, served in front of you the beauty of mathematics. seems unsolvable, and almost certain won't contribute anything good even if you're able to solved them. but it is undeniable they are captivating, fascinating, stupefying.

that's about half of the manga.

the other half is about simplicity. there is no exaggerated hatred in murder case. only reasonable but stirred with depth of emotion. reading qed never incite disgusted feeling by how the characters act. because we can somehow put ourselves in their shoe, albeit those simplistic art.

qed is mystery manga that is not so mysterious. its turns beautiful over time.

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.

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.

So I read through a few chapters, and I thought "Well, the characters are cute, let's keep going. It seems fun."

Then Touma, who went to school in Massachusetts, was all "I'm seeing snow for the first time!!!"

And then I read Diane Butler's horrendous English letter.

And then I solved that "how tall does a tree grow" thing off the top of my head (as anyone with a basic knowledge of calculus could.)

And then I dropped the manga. xD
