Where it came from
Q.E.D. is a long-running Japanese mystery manga series written and illustrated by Motohiro Katou, which began serialization in 1997. The series follows Toma Sou, a brilliant young graduate of MIT who chooses to live a quiet life in Japan, and his energetic classmate Kana Mizuhara. The narrative is defined by its episodic structure, often focusing on intellectual puzzles and complex crime solving that draw on Katou's interest in mathematics, science, and history.
The aesthetic of the series is rooted in the tradition of classical deductive fiction, heavily influenced by the structured mysteries of authors like Arthur Conan Doyle. Katou’s approach to the character design and panel layout emphasizes clarity and logic to match the analytical nature of the protagonist. Over its decades-long run, the series has been praised for its educational elements and the thoughtful integration of scientific concepts into the investigative process, leading to its recognition with the Kodansha Manga Award in 2009.
