Manga Review


Product Description

Reads R to L (Japanese Style), for audiences T+.

After orphan Teru Kurebayashi loses her beloved older brother, she finds solace in the messages she exchanges with DAISY, an enigmatic figure who can only be reached through the cell phone her brother left her. Meanwhile, mysterious Tasuku Kurosaki always seems to be around whenever Teru needs help… Could DAISY be a lot closer than Teru thinks?

As Teru comes to terms with Kurosaki’s past wrongdoings, Kurosaki searches for the culprit who is trying to resurrect the “Jack Frost” virus he created. But when he learns that Teru might be in danger, will he keep his promise to leave her alone, or will the two be reunited?

My Review:

In this volume the manga open with Kurosaki still looking for the mysterious organization that has threatened Teru to sway Kurosaki to help them with the Jack Frost Virus.  He's thinking of Teru all this time and he's even dreaming that she has followed him and ask him to come back since she has forgiven him - then he wakes up and realizes it's just a dream.

Then we see Kurosaki at the train station and someone grabs his shoulder.  Kurosaki turns around and almost hits the person but they grab his hand - it's the Chief.  They start talking and the Chief lets Kurosaki know that Teru knows about Kurosaki is Daisy and the events leading up to her older brother's death.  He also lets Kurosaki know that he doesn't have to be alone to find the Jack Frost Virus he should reply on his friends too.  He asks him to come back but Kurosaki refuses too so the Chief leaves on a train.

Meanwhile Teru gets a call from Akira asking her how she is and taunting her about Kurosaki.  He asks her to meet him privately which ends ....

Then we see Kurosaki looking at a text message from Teru letting him know that she is going to meet Akira and not to let anyone else know.  He frantically starts rushing trying to get a train ticket and finally arrives at the designated destination.  He finds her locket or necklace and then suddenly he turns around to find Teru.  She explains that she tricked him in seeing her by pretending to meet Akira.   

4/5
