Summary taken from goodreads:
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?
One day at school Teru accidentally breaks a window and agrees to pay for it by helping Kurosaki with chores around school. Kurosaki is an impossible taskmaster though, and he also seem to be hiding something important from Teru...
4 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT
MY REVIEW:
Those two are hilariously cute. I found Teru's personality to be typical of a shojo heroine, but Kurosaki always made her react differently, which usually ended up with me chuckling to myself, so it was all good.

I think this volume was even funnier than the last. I loved how things were super serious, and then super hilarious.

4 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT
MY REVIEW:
Teru has got to be one of my most favorite heroines ever. She's got guts and is resourceful and hilarious and isn't afraid to show her emotions. She wasn't afraid to risk her life and her guilty conscious is one that isn't hard to sympathize with. She's an awesome girl. No wonder Kurosaki likes her. Poor guy, he's got his work cut out for him.
IN CONCLUSION: YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY READ THIS SERIES. THERE'S PLENTY OF HUMOR IN THE BEGINNING VOLUMES THAT WILL MAKE YOU CONSTANTLY CHUCKLE, AND ALTHOUGH THE LATER VOLUMES BECOME MORE DARK AND SERIOUS, THE SERIES IS STILL COMPLETELY ENJOYABLE. NOT TO MENTION, THE CHARACTERS ARE ALL FULL OF WIN.
Ok. I've sworn off Manga (at least for the summer) so that I can focus on some of the other genre's for the challenge. But this one looks really good, maybe I'll have to make an exception and see if I can find it anywhere in town...
