About the series
In this early-2000s Tokyopop original manga series, a young girl discovers she can communicate with a mysterious, powerful entity through her computer, drawing her into a digital conspiracy that blurs the line between the virtual and real worlds. Created by a team including Haruko Furukawa and Seimaru Amagi, with art by Tetsuya Koshiba and Kristina Kovacs, remote ran for ten issues and stands as a curious artifact of the era's fascination with technology and the occult. Its concise, self-contained story offers a snapshot of Tokyopop’s push to produce original English-language manga during the medium’s boom in North America.
