{{nihongo|'''''Remote'''''|リモート|Rimōto|lead=yes}} is a Japanese [[manga]] series written by [[Shin Kibayashi|Seimaru Amagi]] and illustrated by Tetsuya Koshiba. It was published in [[Kodansha]]'s ''[[Young Magazine]]'' from 2002 to 2004. The manga follows Kurumi Ayaki, the newest member of the Unsolved Crimes Division, Special Unit B.

''Remote'' was adapted into a ten-episode [[Japanese television drama]] in October 2002. The [[North America]]n version of the manga is published by [[Tokyopop]].

== Plot ==
Kurumi Ayaki has recently retired from her job as a police officer but she needs money for her upcoming wedding. While she wants to return to her old job in the Traffic Department, she is instead assigned to Unsolved Crimes Division, Special Unit A to solve crimes that are deemed "unsolvable" and partnered with the genius inspector Himuro.

== Characters ==

Kurumi resigned from her job to marry her fiancé Shingo but, because of the recession and of the money he had to borrow to buy her wedding ring, she has to postpone her marriage plans and accept her new job with Kōzaburō Himuro. Kurumi may have developed feelings for Kozaburo Himuro. In the Live Drama Himuro seems to reveal more feelings about Kurumi than the Manga; Himuro asks her to work by his side for a while.
