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. Its a rich school and bullying happens everyday. Teru never lets Daisy know, but life at school is difficult for her along with other 'scholarship' students. Every day Daisy and Teru text back and forth about school, boys, dreams and everything else. Daisy is the alias for one of his friends, who also turns out to be a hacker. 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'. The characters in looks are almost identical to Beast Masters' but the personalities are different. And it'll immortalize the phrase, "Go bald, Kursoaki!" forever for me. This manga has been one of the most enjoyable reads of any manga I've owned. The deeper into the volumes you get, the better the series gets. And she has to do it while alternately being bossed around and protected by the enigmatic school janitor Kurosaki. Throughout the overall big plot mysteries, Teru has to solve life's challenges and smaller myseries - bullying, friendships, and balancing home/school life alone. 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. Just when one mystery is solved, you find the story runs much much deeper.
But unlike Hanakimi and HYD, Dengeki Daisy has a strong plot revolving around several mysteries. It's at parts very funny and very romantic - but also very serious. 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). And a cast of side characters that make the book very funny but also very touching. 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.
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.
