![]() 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. So much of shojo (girl's) manga falls under the sway of one single emotion: longing. ![]()
