Okay, uhm, before I start rating, I'd like to say that what I'm writting is my own opinion, and I'm trying to make this as helpful as I can without any spoilers, so feel free to read it even if you haven't read the manga yet.
Story: 10/10
To begin with, I've never ever read a manga or seen an anime with such a story.To help you understand how good it is, it was voted by its readers the best shoujo manga of a year.The story trully deserves to be called "outstanding".As most of us know, its easier to make a story more special when its genres
...
is supernatural, fantasy, or sci-fi etc, but Dengeki Daisy, is the very exception.Without being any of them and just simply being "Slice of life" is way more oustanding than loads of supernatural stories I've seen, or read.It's something to congrats Motomi Kyousuke about, because it shows that she trully is a gifted story teller.
So the story, is about this girl, Teru."Her brother before his death, gave her a cell phone with the contact "DAISY" inside, saying that this person'll be his replacement, and she can be free to talk to him about everything that worries her.Teru, with no relatives, living alone in a small house, has only Daisy for her companion and tells him everything. One day at school, she accidentally breaks a window and she's forced by the unlikeable, obnoxious school janitor to work for him, so that she'll pay off the debt for the broken window. While Teru wonders who DAISY could be, her relationship with Kurosaki, the school janitor, develops.Is Kurosaki who she's looking for?Only time will tell."
When I read this summary of the manga, at first I thought that she would just find who DAISY is and live happily with him ever after.But...there were so many things, so many events,facts, years ago that are the main reason for DAISY being DAISY. So many things happen in this story, and it occupies a lot with technology stuff. So if you're not into computers, this is not a manga for you.But if you are, it is THE manga for you! The story, is predictable at some parts of it, but there are those important things which before we find out, we can't even imagine that something like that would happen.This manga, does not refer to the typical "I will protect you, I'll always be there for you" shoujo quote. Because the reason why DAISY protects her, well, it's something else that you'll find out only if you read it.
Art: 10/10
So, Motomi Kyousuke has her own special art. The characters are awesome from every part you look at them; at their profiles, or straight in their faces. It has the typical shoujo art, so Motomi Kyousuke didn't mind herself with details for the bodies, their facial characteristics though,their hair and their appearances is what suits these characters the best.I mean, you look in their eyes and you see what they're going through. Teru's eyes, for example, when they look at you seriously you can obviously understand her character.
The fun art, is just the funniest thing ever.Even if its a manga and its difficult to laugh (because what you see doesn't move, or you can't hear it) I actually blow myself up laughing with everything.It has the best chibis and in any way, the best fun art on earth.
What I also like about the characters appearance, the art, is that they don't look alike. Anyone with anyone. Its not just this usual manga art where their eyes or head shape and their facial characteristics is the same and the only thing that can separate them is their hair.Everything about each character is different, that's one of the many things I love about Dengeki Daisy.
Character: 10/10
What to say about tha characters?
They.are.all.so.crazily.DIFFERENT!
It's one of the best things, seriously. We have a masochist, a weak one, a SUPER BADASS (!) one, a serious one, a faithful one, another one that acts like a mother who cares for everyone and just has a wonderful character, a tsundere one, a good friend, etc.I'm definitely not dissapointed or bored out of the characters. Also, the characters' roles always remain stable, the ones that are the main characters remain being main characters 'till the very end. The others that are the secondary supporting characters remain like this way 'till the end, but without them the story actually couldn't have existed. So basically I would describe most of them as "main supportive". And what I love the most, except from every other thing, is that the characters show that they care for each other.They're trully friends, always helpful and protective. It's something that not many people notice, but it's also something that's one of the most important things about Dengeki Daisy. I love every piece of each character.
Something that surprises us, is that the "bad guys", or "antiheroes" as we know them, are actually the ones that are so only supportive, that we can't even imagine it'd be them. That's also a very good and special thing that makes this manga even more interesting.
Enjoyment: 10/10
Yes, I know, expressing your feelings through only something you read is difficult. For example, I never thought I would cry by only reading Dengeki Daisy. I have experienced every feeling in the world through reading Dengeki Daisy. Happiness, sadness, laughter, stress, dissapointment, every single feeling, and I'm pretty sure that when even a manga helps you express your emotions, its enjoyment deserves being called "outstanding".
What's the most funny about it, is the way they communicate. For example, a romantic moment between the main characters, where you keep thinking that something...well, romantic will happen, but it actually turns out funny and that's the point where you laugh the freeking most. For another example, the characters always hit each other in funny ways, and while someone would understand that those who hit each other do not care for them in the surface, us, who love Dengeki Daisy can also see through their actions and understand that they care for each other the most.
Overall: 10/10
I hope I helped you understand how good Dengeki Daisy is, I want to say that I highly reccomend you to read it. This manga, even if shoujo, is for everyone, really. For me, Dengeki Daisy deserves the title of the best shoujo AND comedy manga ever. I really love it and I think you will too, if you read it.

Vampire Knight was the first manga I started reading, only because I loved the anime so much that I wanted to read it too. I think it is a very nice manga,not just the typical shoujo story,definitely not,with lots of story in it, and its characters are really good, too.It has a complicated, yet well given story that makes us all excited, anxious and unable to be patient to wait for the next chapters.
