My Review:

In the last volume Kurosaki was hurt by a flying desk which smacked him in the head.  He managed to save Teru but he falls unconscious and has a concussion.  He's not seriously hurt but Teru feels very guilty that it's her fault that everyone associated with her would get hurt.  Kurosaki tells her it's not her fault and not to feel guilty.

Teru knows that Kurosaki is DAISY and everyone in that group knows she knows too.  Teru and Kurosaki both have to deal with Ms. Mori who is trying to find out who DAISY really is.  She interrogates Teru and asks her who DAISY is but Teru won't tell her anything about him.  Then Ms. Mori gets attacked after leaving and Teru feels guilty again.  Then the next day she goes looking for Kurosaki and starts coming onto to him.  Kurosaki grabs her hand and asks her about her nail polish and comments that they were different colour the day before.  He warns her not to hurt Teru or else!  They also have to deal with the Fake DAISY and they figured out who it could be.  That person is being blackmailed and to continue to use someone named Akira.

He finally admits to himself and his friend that he wants Teru but he feels very guilty that he's the one who killed her brother.  He really wants to tell her stuff but is afraid that she would reject him.

I really like how Kurosaki is always protecting Teru and the way he teases her and treats her like a servant.

5/5
