While trying to uncover who the fake Daisy is, Kurosaki gets injured protecting Teru from an attack! The near-fatal incident leaves Teru shaken, and she vows to stay close to Kurosaki. But is proximity just going to hurt them both with the truth still veiled?
Kyousuke Motomi (最富キョウスケ Motomi Kyōsuke) is a Japanese mangaka whose stories have frequently been published in the monthly Betsucomi magazine. She is most currently working on Dengeki Daisy.
She uses a male pseudonym and draws herself as a man, but she's actually female."If my stories can touch you, make you laugh, forget unhappy things, or even give you that 'good job' feeling, then I'll be super, super happy!" - Kyousuke Motomi
This installment features fewer teen antics, as we're finally getting into a meatier bit of the promised Evil Plot that backgrounded the series. Remember the student counsel advisor who got fired for skimming money from the school? And who was in a relationship with a student (something manga seems oddly casual about!)? Those characters are actually important, hopefully you remember that incident.
While I initially liked Teru and disliked Daisy, I am getting impatient with how Teru doesn't ever seem to develop better sense despite multiple serious incidents, and more sympathetic to the complexities of Daisy's situation.
Das ist der 5. Band der "Dengeki Daisy" Reihe von Kyosuke Motomi. Insgesamt gibt es 16 Bände, die man auf jeden Fall in der richtigen Reihenfolge lesen sollte, da die Geschichten aufeinander aufbauen. Ich bin von Anfang an ein großer Fan dieser Manga Reihe! Der Zeichenstil ist wirklich toll und die vielen Anmerkungen von Mangaka Kyosuke Motomi finde ich lustig und erfrischend. Die Charaktere entwickeln sich von Band zu Band weiter, sie sind mir schon richtig ans Herz gewachsen.
Um was geht es in dieser Manga Reihe? Teru hat ihren Bruder verloren. Bevor er starb, gab er ihr ein Handy, durch das sie Kontakt zu einer unbekannten Person mit dem Decknamen Daisy aufnehmen kann, die sie fortan beschützen soll. Teru versucht, etwas über Daisys Identität herauszufinden und erlebt dabei einige Abenteuer. Was da alles so passiert, könnt ihr dann ja selbst herausfinden.
Ich kann euch diese Reihe auf jeden Fall empfehlen. Für mich gehört sie zu den besten Shōjo Mangas aller Zeiten! Die Geschichte ist witzig, herzerwärmend und auch ein wenig geheimnisvoll. Die Wortgefechte zwischen Teru und Kurosaki sind einfach zum Schießen! Von mir gibt es daher wieder 5 Sterne und natürlich eine klare Leseempfehlung!
I'm really noticing how excellent the art is at conveying movement. A lot of the time romance mangas don't get the same range of body motion in the art, because reactions aren't as physical. But in Dengeki, the moments of sudden movement have a very similar feeling as a well drawn action/adventure manga. It really is amazing how easy it is to imagine these characters moving around and interacting with each other.
I like the direction the plot is moving in, although a specific scene does get used a bit too repetitively. But I can see how it's being used to a certain effect, so I've chosen to not get too nit-picky over that.
Also, each character is becoming better developed in the storyline, which is something I've been really enjoying. Especially the side characters! They are constantly evolving and growing in major ways with each passing plot point. It's making me get really invested in almost everyone and not just the main duo. Rena (the student council prez) and Kiyoshi (Teru's childhood friend aka mini-nerd-boy) are becoming really interesting characters! I'm looking forward to what happens to seeing what happens with their characters as the story moves forward.
Love how we are revealed things very smoothly though what happens plot wise. It isn't clumsy or contrived. I love how they have to read each other by what they don't say. Teru and Daisy are just real and yet so good together in a broken sort of way.
Love that we finally have a moment where he admits his feelings toward Teru. We've not had that before now! Also the story is so expertly woven together! We get Teru's feelings of guilt coming together to heal Kurosaki's feelings, at least somewhat through his helping her. Who knew we'd get so many volumes even after the big reveal!
Things are kicking up in this volume. There are characters who really don't seem to be who they say they are. Ms. Mori especially isn't nearly the idiot that she makes herself out to be. What game is that woman playing?
Kurosaki still seems unable to move forward with what he wants to happen with Teru. He seems to know that Teru knows about him, but he still hasn't confronted her, yet.
Teru experiences some guilt over people getting hurt because of whatever is going on with people trying to get information about Soichiro's program or trying to find out Daisy's identity. As always, Kurosaki is able to put her at ease.
Still, I'm hoping for some progress with these two soon.
The plot thickens once again - love it. I’m so happy Teru didn’t make this stupid mistake. Also the Chairman is such a funny character lol. Mori-sensei pisses me off so much I hope she’ll finally drop the act now. And sleepy Kurosaki was so adorable 💙
Slowly working my way through the series... Last book, Kurosaki was injured saving Teru after someone tried to drop a desk on her from one of the upper stories of the school. Cue more investigating into the mystery group who has been causing trouble lately. Also more UST between Teru and Kurosaki. Also, the introduction of a new villain in the group - a mystery boy in a dark hoodie has been buying e-mail addresses from hackers. The daisy group investigate Mr. Arai, the old school computer teacher (fired in vol. 1 IIRC), though his ex-girlfriend Rena (student-body president) doesn't agree that it could be him. Teru is approached by the school nurse who claims to be threatened by the group, under orders that she find out information about Daisy. How far are the villains going to go to find out Daisy's identity?
Dengeki Daisy is a favorite of mine for not only for its beautiful artistic characters but also for the romance that just tantalized me through and through but also for the tight-knit relations that the characters have. Through a darkened past, they all stick close to each other because they are more of a family. That is what I find beautiful about this manga.
Definitely something Shojo fans should look into. You'll fall for the characters in a heartbeat (especially Kurosaki) and the artwork grows on you. Dengeki Daisy is a heartthrob and that is no understatement.
Things are getting messier and messier and everyone's trying to find out who that dastardly fake Daisy is! When someone asks Teru to give them Daisy's name or e-mail address because she's being threatened and Teru refuses, that person gets hurt and Teru feels horribly guilty--but not for the reason you might think. We also find out a little more of Kurosaki and Soichiro's story and what it is that Kurosaki is hanging onto. As always, I'm looking forward to the next volume!
Wah! Why can't this one come out faster! The one thing this volume did was make me believe that almost anyone can have ulterior motives, and everyone is to be held suspect. I do have a nasty suspicion about the fake Daisy...
Skipped reading for a couple of days since I wanted to finish another series. A lot of action and sketchy stuff goes down in this one and I am super stoked to see how this app pans out!
I feel so bad for Teru. She’s going through so much emotional turmoil that everyone else is subjecting her young and innocent soul to. It’s a lot for a poor teenage girl to handle. I think the inner conflicts drive this plot well. Mostly, this is back story and setup. 3.7/5.
I am re-reading this series but feel bad about counting them so I think I'm only going to count every fourth one (about how many volumes are usually in an omnibus).
