Dengeki Daisy, Volume 6 by Kyousuke Motomi

4.0

I completely forgot I hadn't read this volume! I got Volume 7 earlier this week and was confused at how it seemed like a whole bunch of stuff had gone down I couldn't remotely remember. Quick look at my book list from last year and voila! It appeared I had somehow tricked myself into thinking I'd read volume 6 when I hadn't.

Teru gets kidnapped this volume

Spoiler

and Ms. Motomi is confirmed to be the criminal mastermind

. This doesn't do much to move the plot along, the hacking side of things isn't touched on at all and no further progress on telling us what exactly went down with Daisy and Teru's brother. What it does do though is give Teru a chance to display her smarts again and show how much closer she and Tasuku have gotten. At this point they know how the other thinks and they can rely on that knowledge. Teru counting on Tasuku coming to save her could come off damsel-ish in another manga but after she's taken so many steps to keep Mr. Arai safe and ensure Tasuku's been updated on what's going on it instead reads as her being smart about using her available resources. Good job Teru!

On the whole this volume mostly gives some breathing space to delve into Teru and Tasuku's emotional states. The romantic slow burn has yet to become frustrating, I kind of want to smush their faces together but I'm not yet at the point of yelling at the volume in public (-cough-kiminitodoke-cough-). I feel certain something will happen to shake them up in volume 7: my guess is some movement on their current denial on Teru's awareness of who Daisy is. 4 stars
