What an unexpected but satisfying ending it has!
Usually, I don't know why but I avoid reading Love-triangle stories and tragic ones, on top of that. However, this time it was unexpectedly a loving and sweet love-triangle story because, before starting reading this manga, I had no idea that it has the love-triangle trope. But again, thank god, it was nice one for the first time in my life. And, the ending was totally unexpected because throughout the entire story you would guess one thing but at the next moment something else happens. At least, it was in my case. But I'm satisfied with the
...
ending, a lot.
This manga taught me the importance of simplicity of conversation. In general life, it is us, humans, who make our every action and reaction quite complicated. We overthink our every decision and end up complicating every communication. And, sometimes don't listen to our hearts in relationships, in order to be a practical person, and waste lot of time in taking action to correct our mistakes or to make that relationship enjoyable. However, we forget that, no matter which, relationships are the matter of hearts not mind. Due to all this minute habits or mistakes, we end up losing some precious people from our life, sometimes. This manga shows exactly these and its consequences which the characters face throughout their entire life.
This story seems the usual teacher-student trope but it is not, definitely not. It is, in fact, more than that. It has unexpected and exciting twists and turns which, ultimately, make this manga unique. There is no rush in the plot-line, so the story runs at its own pace. Each character has their own story. It means that this manga gives each character enough pages/space to present their own stories. That's why, even side-characters, sometimes, become the main characters with their own story, struggles, and ending.
About age-gap, well! you don't or won't need to worry about it because you will see... ;p But seriously, don't worry about that "oh, it's quite disgusting for a teacher to romance with his student, blah, blah, blah"...just go ahead and read it with open-mindedness. I assure you won't regret it.
~See you in the next manga series. Happy reading!!! \(^o^)/

Um! Where should I start?...after all, it was flagged as "not recommended" by many users. Actually, they are not wrong by their point of view, I, however, disagree with them on it being a "not recommended" manga. If you're reading age-gap genre, and have come across this gem, by all means, go ahead and give it a try then judge it.
Coming on to my "thoughts/point-of-view" about this manga...
Actually, it is my 1st "re-read" of this manga. I had read it, for the first time, when I was a teenager and was reading whatever mangas I got my hands on the internet. That time, I was
...
not in the habit of making judgements or thoughts about any stories or characters. It was my exclusive and favourite time pass. I had almost forgotten most of its plot-line until I decided to start reading mangas again, properly and seriously. Even though, most of its story-line was hazy, it had always been there with its great presence, in the back of my mind. And, I'll never forget the heart-wrenching and bittersweet feeling that my teenage-self got after finishing it. That's why, I decided to re-read it after all this time and to re-connect with the teenage me.
Here's the review after my "re-reading" session:
For the first three chapters, I kept thinking what on earth was I used to read as a teenager and I almost put it "on-hold". But I kept reading it, nonetheless, to respect my teenager-self. First of all, according to my knowledge, the story is unique for it is being about an author and a child, given the time it was published. After story, comes the pace! The pace of the story-line moves swiftly like a kite in the windy sky. This story is a gem with its major characters' development which I loved the most. You have to be patient with each character and their thought-process. You would get irritated with them, sometimes...sometimes, you would realize their misery and feel their despair. Most of all, each character is striving to become better version of themselves throughout the entire story. No matter what, it shows the reality of struggles that the adult world faces, everyday, to confront each of their own feelings...and, what it is like to struggle with the life-long childhood scars and finding the solace among their loved ones. The importance of family and the essence of few but good friends in life...everything is there to experience apart from the main plot. Alongside, it also shows the too-short yet sweet innocence of childhood that passes in a blink of an eye. However, it also deals with some heavy, concerning and triggering issue such as group suicide/family suicide, and the trauma one faces after going through it. Or, should I say getting dragged through it forcibly? If the above mentioned things are your cup of tea then please hurry and start reading it. Don't waste your time anymore than this!!!
One of MAJOR CONCERNS that most future readers might have had...is about their age-gap, right? Some of the previous reviewers and my readers across the internet, especially, new and younger readers, are calling it disgusting and what not. However, my fellow readers, I would say, first of all, there's NO ROMANCE between an adult and an underage here, so rest assured. Second, I would just like to tell MY THOUGHTS regarding the age-gap issue, by quoting a special line of the manga itself, "BUT IT'S OKAY EVERY NOW AND THEN, RIGHT? TO DEPICT AN OLD MAN WHO LEARNS WHAT REAL HAPPINESS IS...AND THINGS LIKE LOVE STORIES."
~See you in another manga world. Happy Reading!!! \_(^u^)_/

I actually finished it 2 days ago. Yet, I am writing this review today because these 2 days I was just making up my mind and sorting out my feelings about it. This manga is like a hurricane of my literary life which has wreaked havoc in my thoughts. Literally. It was this good.
The aesthetic aspect of story-line, story-telling, character development, artwork...everything was well developed, planned and done. First of all, when I read its synopsis, it gave me the impression of Kore Wa Koi No Hanashi because both has male-leads who are successful writers. So, I thought it would have the same story-line, and
...
I kept pushing it for reading another time. Oh boy! was I surprised once I started reading it. You bet because I was. It was like I have open a Pandora box. Everything was different. The story, the characters and their hardships/struggles all are so so different from Kore wa Koi no Hanashi. About age-gap between the lead characters, which I believe many readers want to know...that is something I can't reveal because it would be a direct spoiler for many readers. So, I am sorry for this. But its age-gap is in acceptable range for me to read stories.
By the way, I am glad that I decided to give it a try. This is a masterpiece for me.
Don't hesitate, just give it a try, guys! You won't regret it, believe me!
Right now, I am re-reading Kore wa Koi no Hanashi. So, see you there! \_(^o^)_/

After seeing that quite a lot of fellow readers have already written its review, I was doubting whether I should also participate in this race? Then I thought, does it really matter if I write one or not? It's not like anyone going to notice this in the heap of "great" and "popular" reviews. So, let's begin it...
It was quite hell of a ride for me, personally. You may ask, why? Because my friend, I have a soft spot for slice of life manga whether it is shoujo or josei or shounen in a broader terms. And this manga has somewhat of everything in it.
...
It has a little bit sci-fi (mostly coding related stuff which I somewhat understood >_<), a little bit of slice of life, a little bit of shoujo (well, most of the times, it was a parody of shoujo...I will explain it in later part), a little bit of age-gap (age-gap of 8 years...uh-huh, my parents have 7-years of age-gap between them o_o) and lots of learning for a lifetime, at least for me personally.
Now, I'm going to talk about its each ingredient in detail. So bear with me... >_<
This manga is full of coding jargon...I wish I had an engineering or science background to tell whatever was written in the story if it was correct? But who cares, right? As long as it is not complicating the story or making it blend, it is alright. Well, this is the exact case with Dengeki Daisy. The science fiction parts doesn't hinder the story at all. The story moves at its own pace. You won't be rushed here. So, read it with a patient and calm mind. Okay? ^_^
Coming onto the shoujo aspect of it...I think it is quite different, in a good way, from you ideal shoujo manga. Here, the each character act as you and me. It means they are imperfect (mostly) and perfect (rarely) in their own way. They have their shortcomings and downfalls as well as they have their strengths. No one is ideal here. They make you realize that there is no ideal way to convey your feelings to your beloved ones...like there is no ideal way write down this review ^O^. Each character has their grey moments in the story. So, if you're someone who is idealistic shoujo manga reader, beware!!! because some moments or characters will repel you to keep reading it. Please start it with open-mindedness >_<!
Talking about its art-style, I would say I'm not qualified enough to pass my judgement on art-style. For me, personally, I feel it is drawn with mangaka's sweat and tears (I mean hard work :D) and I don't want to disrespect her work by giving my opinions naively. Honestly, I appreciate her time, effort and hard work that she had put into creating it.
Lastly, I would just say that if you're considering to give it a try then sure, go ahead but with open-mindedness. Thank you for patience with me and being with me till here. See you in new story. Until then, take care! \_^o^_/
Last minute edit - Akira is my favourite one in this. I just loved his character. I still don't know why though! ~_~

It is an original story in the form of a light novel. I managed to find and read just 2 chapters because I'm not able to find sufficient information or resource of this novel. But writing is great and words are easy to understand and imagine the scene. I loved it. If there's new update on the website where I found this, I'll definitely continue reading it.
Since it follows the original story of Nakamura Shiharu, the twins and Matsunaga Seiji, it is very easy for the readers to understand the story in the text form. The novel starts just after the scene of Matsunaga's confession
...
to Shiharu. It is written in the 1st person with Matsunaga Seiji's point of view. Go ahead and read it. You will not regret it. That's for sure! *^U^*

I'm feeling very emotional, right now. This manga was very crucial in completing the series. Without this, Love So Life would have been incomplete. It tells the story mainly from the twins' point of view. The feeling of achieving something is so overwhelming for me. They say, "A book can make you live for 100 lives." They say absolutely right. And, I'm happy that I started this journey of reading manga, otherwise, I would never have known that such a masterpiece really existed.
I'll never forget the things that I learned from this series. Thank you for creating this marvellous work, Kouchi-sensei!

I still remember the time when I read it, for the first time in 2018. That year, this manga made me closer to my mother. It made me come to appreciate her hardships and difficulties. It made me realize the importance of having a family. Also, how it is nice to have siblings to fight with, sometimes. It made me what I am today, somewhat.
Now, when I re-read it, I have connected with the characters and story more than my first time. It is because the first time, I had a happy family; I had my mother with me who was keeping all of us
...
together. This time, she has disappeared somewhere. My siblings are in different places to build their careers. It's just my father and me, now. This time, this manga taught me how to keep moving forward while creating happy memories as many as I can.
This manga may be the result of someone's imagination, yet it actually is the reality for many of us. It is unique in its own way. It doesn't tell you or urge you to do right things in life, instead it makes you want to look back to your every actions and think whether that action has hurt anyone? It makes you realize that how our smallest actions, which we think is "doesn't matter" type, can leave a long-lasting impression on a child's mind and shapes him/her into an adult who can be anyone depending on those tiniest actions of our's.
The story and characters' development is so good that you find yourself totally immersed into it. It doesn't matter if you are a new reader or a re-reader, every time you read it, it gives you a new experience. Coming onto the romance in the story, it is quite slow-burn. Male lead and female lead has 9-years age-gap between them and for most of the chapters, it's just sweet character development of both of them. However, their small interactions, thinking and actions make you want to root for them and take you into the story with their pace. There is no rush and no haste. It is like you're just living it.
So, if you are still hesitating whether to read it or not, I would suggest you to just read it. Yo will not regret it. And, if this review didn't motivate you to start reading this then I don't know what will. Thank you for being patient with me till here. Thank you so much for your hard-work and for creating this masterpiece, Kouchi-sensei!
Now, I'm going to start reading its sequel "Life So Happy". See you there!!! :D

It's was quite enjoyable if you ask me! Before starting the manga, I had checked for its reviews...and some people were complaining about its romance, that "The romance was too rushed for our taste, blah blah blah...!". In reply to those commentators, I'll just say that when both parties are mature and understanding enough, romance is never rushed...it is neither too early nor too late...romance is just, you know, ROMANCE! (Some may not agree with it, doesn't matter!)
About age-gap...Umm! Age-gap was too wide, that I can agree with many readers out there. However, how can I judge the story just becuase of their age-gap is
...
"too wide", when in reality they have the most beautiful and unseen understanding and respect for each other! This type of mutual understanding and respect between couples is almost extinguished now-a-days!
All n all, this is a great manga which you'll never regret turning to read in your life!

If I have to describe my feelings while reading this manga, it will definitely be like "This manga made me promise myself to do my best in every little thing I do."
Sure! Momoko is an erotica novelist, yet the manga is pretty decent and sweet (even though I'm not a sweet-tooth person myself and I read eroticas sometimes, I still fell in love with the story). I know the story is your typical cliché shoujo story (like Kaichou wa Maid-sama, teheee!), however, there's this uniqueness about all the charecters that makes you end up sticking to the end.
Umm! let's talk about err...characters! You know, each
...
character takes their time to develop both mentally and emotionally (err...are both the interchangeable terms, huh?). So the character development in this story is quite beautiful. You can almost relate yourselves to them at one point (atleast it was true in my case...many times while reading it).
So yeah! Last but not the least, this manga made me question myself at several points in the story that "what on the earth am I actually doing with my life?"...or "is there any purpose of all the things that I'm doing currently?"...or "should I just start everything all over again?". I doubted myself with the characters and I gained self-confidence with them as well! Then eventually, I promised myself to give my best at each and every little thing that I'm doing and I plan to take on in future. I'll do my best.
You've done outstandish-ingly(if it's an actual word, teheee!) great work as a mangaka and a storyteller, Yoshino sensei!!! (_><_)

As the fan of Omhi sensei's works, it's not surprising for me to find the story of witches this time. I mostly admire the artwork of sensei and the handsome male leads of her every story.
As for the plot of this manga series, all I can say is that I LITERALLY HAD DREAMS ABOUT WITCHES and KANAME AFTER FINISHING IT LAST NIGHT. For more insight of the plot, you'll just have read it out!!!
Another thing is that actually nothing has catched my eyes from Ohmi sensei's series like the way Midnight Secretary series has done, both by its artwork and its plot! And now, I
...
plan to re-read it after all this time!
