Dengeki Daisy is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Kyosuke Motomi. It was serialized in Shogakukan’s Betsucomi shojo magazine from May 2007 to October 2013, releasing a total of 16 volumes. Viz Media released the series in English, describing the story of Volume 1:
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 seems to be hiding something important from Teru…
Motomi is also the author of QQ Sweeper and its sequel Queen’s Quality manga series, both of which were serialized in the same magazine. His currently ongoing series is Yaoyoruzu Toriatsukai Setsumeisho.
