clowdywings's review against another edition
1.0
I had stopped reading this series a while ago and recently, when at the library, picked it up again. I sort of regret doing that.
This was okay at surface level. But as you actually look into it and scrutinize it, there are a lot of problems.
Here’s the issues I found:
1)Poor Storytelling
- I wasn’t sure why things were happening. I just knew that something was happening.
- Occasionally there was confusing paneling.
2)Unsure/Weird Art
- Why does the male lead have 1-2” thick eyeliner? (Why does this mangaka enjoy drawing that on all her males?)
- Sometimes some perspectives were drawn wrong.
- What’s up with the hair???
3)A Concerning Age Gap
- How far apart are the future couple in ages? All I can tell is that the guy is an adult and she is around 14. That’s an issue.
4)Poor Character Creation
- I feel like a lot of the issues in the storytelling was because of the lack of valid motives in characters.
5)Poor Pacing
- This series could have been finished last volume if not for some unresolved plot points.
- (Spoiler!) I feel like she shouldn’t have found out that he was DAISY already. It kind of ruined the story.
6)Abuse Brushed Off as Jokes
- Yes, I’m talking about all those times he hurt her ‘just because.’ It was done in a way that was supposed to come off as comedic. Um no.
I need to remember that I don’t enjoy this series. A lot of other people love it, but I can only see the issues.

There's some awkwardness between Teru and Kurosaki,since Teru finally found out who Daisy actually is. All I can say is: duh, girl, no shit Sherlock. But then she's able to keep pretending not to know the truth.
Teru also tries a new hairstyle and gets complimented by Kurosaki - not to mention later, when it's raining outside and Teu is helping Kuroski with some janitorial chores, he's practically drooling just from seeing her neck. He's such a closet pervert.
And since Teru wants Kurosaki to like her she decides to do the stereotypical highschooler thing and make him jealous. So can you guess what happens next? Teru gets invited to go on a goukon. Meanwhile, Kurosaki gets a fever and is on bed rest, and once Teru hears that he's sick from Riko (one of my fav characters so far, I hope she finds loves again), she changes her mind about the goukon and goes home instead to care for Kurosaki.
Someone is pretending to be DAISY and hacking the school's website, making threats and contacting Teru, and once again she's being bullied by her schoolmates for knowing Daisy.
In this volume you get to know Teru's deceased older brother a bit better, he seemed to be pretty hilarious, although I don't know what's with Japanese and sister-complex, it seriously creeps me out sometimes. You also learn why Daisy is called Daisy, and not something else.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Well, I got through the first 4 volumes and still don’t really care about the characters or the plot. I’m giving up.

This volume was worse! I take it back I don’t think I want to read the rest of this series. The pacing is way to slow or clunky in the last two volumes and now I’ve lost interest in reading. I am board. I may give it one more volume and see how I go but I am not loving this.

I think this was a touching story and I have read volumes 1-11 so far. After things began to talk about Daisy's past and him confronting it I have to say my interest sadly went down dramatically. It made me feel that it was like many manga, anime, book ect. that is dragged out past it's due date. I plan to finish this series as it progresses and am hoping that as I read further on I will become enchanted again. I have to say I did love the building up story line and character settings.
