Story: 9

It was a short, yet heartwarming tale; it's full of "feels-y" moments, as well.

Art: 9

The art was tastefully detailed. Personally, I believe this to be one of my favourites.

Characters: 8

... For a one-shot, the characters were executed nicely. They left a good impression on me and didn't disappoint.

Enjoyment: 8

It was a bitter-sweet enjoyment. However, it may be more heart-wreanching for those who become emotional more quickly than others.

Overall: 8

There's not much much to say, seeing as this is only a one-shot. I do, however, recommend it if you want to kill time. Regarding the audience, I'd say this is rated for ages 10+. I recommend it for anyone looking for a short and emotional read.

Story: 7 It was a sweet and light-hearted story. It's a good one-shot manga if you don't want something long to read or just want to kill time.


Art: 6

Even though it had a cute style to it, the female protagonist's eyes were just a tad too big, in my opinion. However, the cute, lil' doggos found during the read make up for that, hahah!


Characters: 6

... It's to expect that in a one-shot there won't be as much character development as when compared to an extensive, hundred chapter-long manga. Despite that, I would've loved to see more backstory on the characters.


Enjoyment: 9

I rank this part the highest for a reason. I was looking for a light-hearted read –with a few smiles here and there– and that's exactly what I got. It's quite a nice read, and it didn't disappoint me.


Overall: 7 I recommend it for anyone aged 10+. Ookami Lover is quite innocent and simple, and gives off a good feel.

EDIT: This was my first review, and it wasn't well-executed, at that. If you want a truly good, informative review, please refer to the one below me. I definitely recommend that one. :)

Story: 10

At first, I believed this was going to be the typical manga where the female protagonist is whiny, child-like, dependent, and –overall– someone who doesn't stand up for herself. I thought this would be that one story with the pair of infamous main leads: the girl who's constantly a damsel in distress and the guy who's just a bit too perfect and arrogant for his own good. However, this manga is ... different. The story is quite original and it wasn't as cliché or predictable when compared to most other manga.

I wasn't expecting Dengeki Daisy to take a sudden, serious turn when it came to discussing criminal/investigative topics. I am a sucker for mystery and this one is most definitely one of my favorites. The plot twists are fantastic. The drama is not the sickening type. It is the kind of story that makes you want to read the whole thing in a day.

On a different note, the author is astoundingly interactive and friendly with her readers (if you read the author's notes, that is). I absolutely love how she dedicates time to her audience.

Art: 8

It was nice and appealing. Of course, there are your everyday mistakes and such, but these are often minuscule. Personally, it's not my favourite art style, but it's still enjoyable nonetheless.

Characters: 8

The main female character started off pretty normal, yet she takes a turn for the best and continues to better throughout the story until the very end. The male lead shines through as well with time, and almost all the characters –both the supporting cast and protagonists– developed beautifully –some of them you could say were unusual and went through some equally unexpected changes. I did, however, which we could've had more insight or time with the supporting cast. Though –seeing as the manga is eighty chapters long– I believe this was for the best, as extending a story too much would've taken away Dengeki Daisy's charm.

Enjoyment: 10

It's a story that doesn't bore you; it doesn't prolong too much nor too little. Like I said before, it's a story that makes you want to keep on reading 'till the very end.

Overall: 10

Even though it seems Dengeki Daisy's off to a cliché beginning, it all progresses well and it becomes an enjoyable and satisfiying story until the very end. I recommend this manga for any person who is 13+, male or female.
