By deliberately complicating societal expectation of a Midwestern main character, a writer can disrupt the narrative-and its reception by critics. Writing a book set in the Midwest, it’s impossible not to consider “niceness” as part of the equation. Performing “niceness” is nearly impossible to live up to when your rights, worldview, or livelihood are questioned.

And the writing flails about, trying to be unique but flopping around in the shallow waters of useless pop culture references and self-righteous literary references.Īctually, the references are quite good. She wants her brother to stay in a relationship not because it is in any way beneficial to him, but because she likes his girlfriend. She wants the school to forgive her and give her what she wants even though she personally injured their chances at getting funding. She wants the choir teacher to magically understand her point of view without bothering to explain it to him. She is an accurate middle-schooler, which is to say, unrepentantly self-centered, without thoughts for anyone but herself.

And I met the author, and he seemed like a nice guy, so it's nothing personal. It didn't change them, but it did make me stop and think, which is more than a lot of angst-saturated fiction can say.

As a character, Teru is sharp and courageous, and gives as good as she gets. Motomi enjoys sleeping, tea ceremonies and reading Haruki Murakami. She is the creator of Dengeki Daisy, Beast Master, and QQ Sweeper, all available in North America from VIZ Media. Motomi uses a deft hand at composing the narrative, arranged with soft expressions and swaying flowers, while turning typical tricks of the shojo-manga trade on its head (a scene of gently falling flowers turns out to be a scene where Kurosaki is trimming trees). Born on August 1, Kyousuke Motomi debuted in Deluxe Betsucomi with Hetakuso Kyupiddo (No Good Cupid) in 2002. Despite their antagonistic relationship, he always seems to be around when Teru needs help. Kurosaki is a cranky, shiftless, character who spends most of his time smoking, playing mah-jongg, and belittling Teru. While Teru and Daisy text each other messages those from Daisy are filled with gentle, kind words of encouragement and support the young, thuggish, school janitor, Kurosaki, suddenly recruits Teru to help pay off the repairs to a window that she broke. But before dying, her brother gave her a cellphone with which she can contact "Daisy," a mysterious man who acts as a sort of cyber-guardian angel. Dengeki Daisy volume 1 features story and art by Kyousuke Motomi. After the death of her older brother, high school student Teru Kurebayashi is the only surviving member of her family. Published by VIZ Media LLC Distributed by Simon & Schuster Trade Paperback. This series ruthlessly cultivates and exploits this innocent desire.

I then began piecing together all the clues.Īfter cross-referencing and carefully analyzing all the available information, I found there is overwhelming evidence to reasonably identify one of the unknown victims as Larry Norman Frost, 32, from New Orleans. New leads resulted in the discovery of additional substantive documents. I sifted through police reports, autopsies, newspaper clippings, and more, searching for evidence to corroborate their claim. These conversations revealed specific information about when, why, and how they came to learn about their loved one's connection to the UpStairs Lounge fire.
