Truthfully speaking, the plot for Dengeki Daisy is pretty unique. I haven't read any shoujo involving something like special cell phones and computer hacking, so this is a first. However, the manga started off with a typical school girl feel and some romance, which I enjoyed. It then took a turn for a more serious feel once Teru got started about learning about her brother's death and what he left behind. The twists and turns became exciting and opened up a new direction for the manga to go in. I must admit that I was a little confused about the history behind Teru's brother, though. There are a lot of facts in there and many characters involved, so be sure to pay attention. Also, the mangaka's sense of humor is superb. I found constantly laughing at least every other chapter, and art matches the incidents very well.

Teru is an amazing protagonist; I admire her a whole lot. People are always complaining about female protagonists in shoujo manga being weak and always needing someone to save them, but Teru can hold her own almost all the time, as you can see from the preview. Even if she doesn't have the skills her brother has, she's still very intelligent and headstrong. She stands up for others and will protect her loved ones at all costs. She is also not very knowledgeable in the area of love, but that will change over the course of the story.

Kurosaki is the janitor at Teru's high school, whom Teru works with after she breaks a window that she can't pay for. I can't say much without spoiling, but I will say that he likes to tease Teru and smokes a lot. His hair is dyed blond and many girls and female teachers have remarked that he is handsome. Teru often finds him in deep thought.

The artwork is very nice. I like how the mangaka can draw men beautifully without making them bishounen exactly, at least with no eyelashes. Emotional faces are drawn quite well, especially in humorous circumstances. It's very consistent and otherwise great. I have no complaints whatsoever.

All things considered, I give Dengeki Daisy 8/10. It's a very interesting manga with an intriguing plot, though it is a little convoluted near the middle and end. The main characters are very likable and are not perfect because they have some flaws, which are just enough to make them real. The mangaka introduces a slew of other characters that are original and have their own quirks. The humor is fantastic, and the art is good. Why not read it?
