Absolutely LOVE this series!, July 5 2010

This review is from: Dengeki Daisy, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
What's really great about this series is that the main character, Teru, is a strong girl who knows how to take care of herself but also finds she needs help as well. Kurosaki, the mysterious school janitor who knows more about her than she realizes, has a challenging mystery to his character and great tenderness hidden under a lackadaisical attitude. And a cast of side characters that make the book very funny but also very touching.The series feels very much like a mix of the best parts of HanaKimi (humor and wild characters) and Hana Yori Dango (strong heroine and humor). It's at parts very funny and very romantic - but also very serious. But unlike Hanakimi and HYD, Dengeki Daisy has a strong plot revolving around several mysteries. Just when one mystery is solved, you find the story runs much much deeper. Who is Daisy? What is Kurosaki's secret? What happened to her brother? Was her brother really the good guy she thought he was? What is her brother's connection to the hacker society and Kurosaki? Is Daisy really the good guy she thinks he is? Even Daisy's nickname has very serious and deadly origins.
Throughout the overall big plot mysteries, Teru has to solve life's challenges and smaller myseries - bullying, friendships, and balancing home/school life alone. And she has to do it while alternately being bossed around and protected by the enigmatic school janitor Kurosaki.
The deeper into the volumes you get, the better the series gets. This manga has been one of the most enjoyable reads of any manga I've owned. And it'll immortalize the phrase, "Go bald, Kursoaki!" forever for me.

Love this author!, July 3 2010
By Jessie Potts "Book Taster" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dengeki Daisy, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
This is a sweet and nice manga. The characters in looks are almost identical to Beast Masters' but the personalities are different.Teru's brother died a year ago, on his death bed he gave her a phone and said 'Daisy is going to always look out for you now'. Daisy is the alias for one of his friends, who also turns out to be a hacker. Every day Daisy and Teru text back and forth about school, boys, dreams and everything else. Teru never lets Daisy know, but life at school is difficult for her along with other 'scholarship' students. Its a rich school and bullying happens everyday. One day she breaks a window, and can't pay for it, so the custodian (who is too delinquent and hot to be true) makes her his servant in exchange for the window. It turns out he never works, yet works Teru to the bone.
There are a few stories that happen in the first volume, most Daisy helps remotely with, but one Daisy can't. One of her brother's old friends is back in town, but is he really a friend? Then some one breaks into Teru's house and she finds herself running to Kurosaki (custodian) when Daisy can't be there phsyically. I liked how much stuff happened in this volume, and I love Beast Master, so I know this is going to be a great series. I only hope it's longer than Beast Master (only two volumes two!!?!).
The next two volumes are already up for release dates in the states.

A must read, Feb 29 2012
By Liah Faile - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dengeki Daisy, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
Dengeki Daisy was supposed to end in 3 chapters. Thankfully, due to its unexpected popularity, it continued on into more than 3 volumes. The story is both big and small at the same time. There are separate moments that could surely and easily stand alone as moving moments and awesome mini-plots. However, these moments are all connected into a large story about the world of hackers and the dangers of the government. Sometimes, its hard to fear the bad guys because Kurosaki himself is supposed to be one. However, the secrets are all too real, and dealt with seriously.Teru is one of my all-time favorite heroines. It's hard to find a character that is so genuinely strong and funny at the same time, while being easy to relate to. She isn't even drawn as a beautiful person at all, but I was genuinely fascinated by Teru. I definitely recommend this series!!!
