About the author

Yukiru Sugisaki

Yukiru Sugisaki (杉崎ゆきる; Sugisaku Yukiru in Japanese) is a Japanese manga artist. Her hobbies are dramas, video games, and "collecting rabbit things".
Sugisaki's face is rarely seen, as she prefers to draw herself with a rabbit face or mask in her manga profile images. She also seems to have developed a trait of leaving her series unfinished before moving on to different projects (Notably D.N.Angel, which has seen multiple month-long droughts between chapters. She has just recently done many Lagoon Engine installments, including the Japanese release of volume 7.
Previous to that, she completed a small series entitled Eden, which had its debut in the October 2006 issue of Shōnen Ace, and finished in February 2007. It saw a departure of sorts from Sugisaki's previous series, with a darker, sci-fi noir theme and older protagonists.

Currently, she finished D.N.Angel in 20 volumes (5 released only in digital).

Her work

She made her debut in "Asuka Magazine" with "Namaiki no N". Her other works include "D.N.Angel (13 volumes, unfinished) ", "Rizelmine (1 volume, finished)", "Lagoon Engine (7 volumes, unfinished)", and "Lagoon Engine Einsatz (1 volume, unfinished)". Her "D.N.Angel" manga and "Rizelmine" manga have also been adapted into anime series. Because the D.N.Angel manga was incomplete at the time, the anime has many differences to the original manga, most notably the ending.

Sugisaki is also the artist of the "BrainPowerd" and "The Candidate for Goddess" manga, both of which have been turned into an anime. Her "Neutral" artbook contains artwork from "D.N.Angel", "BrainPowerd", and "The Candidate for Goddess". Her second artbook, [FEDER:] (which is no longer available for purchase), contains newer artwork solely from D.N.Angel. She has also penned the well-known "Sotsugyo M", and created doujinshi for series such as "Tenkuu no Escaflowne", Neon Genesis Evangelion, Lets&Go , and King of Fighters.

Most of her works feature young, cute main characters and elements of Yaoi, though not considered Yaoi.

Her current project is D.N.Angel, which has finally begun serializing in Monthly Asuka again.

I think this is where I'll stop in this series. I'm just bored with it.

The tragedy of Ice and Snow is over, but the show must go on. Daisuke is a bit embarassed to be dressed up as a girl, who’s also the romantic lead in a school play, but no one else seems to mind. Plus he’s determined to make a success for Freedhert’s sake. Satoshi is doing a fantastic job of improvization when things go wrong, even if he’s making Daisuke blush a lot while doing so. Is there any truth in what he’s saying? Also why is Dark starting to turn into Daisuke around Risa Harada? Why is he interested in Risa? What will this mean as far as Dark’s feeling for Riku are concerned? Not to mention Daisuke’s own budding relationship with Riku?

Things got complicated in this volume, what with the addition of Dark dating Risa and Daisuke’s whole family encouraging him in this. The story devolved into a comedy of errors with Daisuke and Wiz switching places to protect their secret identity. Plus Riku is starting to suspect Daisuke is hiding something. The whole thing made me wonder how seriously the reader is supposed to take a relationship with either Risa or Riku, although it was amusing. I pitied Riku a little, considering how insecure she is about Daisuke’s feelings for her. Perhaps she’s right to feel insecure. For once, Daisuke’s feelings for Satoshi conflicted with those for the twins and Satoshi was prioritized when Daisuke finds his enemy, rival, and perhaps more collapsed and unconscious. In spite of objections from Dark and most of his family, Daisuke takes Satoshi home. The whole thing left me wondering if maybe Satoshi does have a chance. I’d hate to get all hopeful, only to have that hope dashed. Once more, the scenes between Daisuke and Satoshi were among the sweetest, most beautiful, and intense in the book, with just a dash of humour communicated within their interaction in the play. For all of these qualities, I give this four stars.

I think it's a really nice detail that Daisuke is the first Niwa to take up painting. It seems like this symbol of him breaking the tradition of stealing to create something of his own. The play is just bizarre. So is the double date at the end of the volume... that I'll have to read more about in the next volume. I don't know how to feel about that.
All that being said, I'm still really enjoying this series.

I loved seeing the complexity of Daisuke and Satoshi's relationship played out a little more. I also enjoyed Kosuke a lot in this volume. And the complicated date situation is just fantastic! I hope Risa and Dark don't mess things up.

This love triangle (or is it a square?) is getting a little confusing. Lol. But honestly Daisuke and Riku are one of the cutest couples that manga has to offer. :)

Not bad at all! This series continues to not disappoint. There's just something about the relationship between Daisuke and Dark that really draws you in and I love that about this series.
