Yukiru Sugisaki: 21 books

The government has been conducting experiments to genetically engineer a human. Its first creation is a girl named Rizel, and the experiment is a success-sort of. While healthy and cheeful, 12-year-old Rizel also possesses the uncanny need for love to further her development. Saddened by this emptiness...

Things just keep going from bad to worse for Daisuke - he's suddenly taken away by The Second Hand of Time, which Dark failed to steal.  The only remaining link to Daisuke lies within another painting that he had unwittingly given to Riku the day before.  Dark now has to retrieve the painting...while pretending to be Daisuke!

The production of the class play finally hits the stage.  Daisuke is a little embarrassed to play a girl, but he soon realizes that the show must go on, and giving a good performance in the part of Freedert is the least he can do for his magical friend.  Later, a near kiss from Daisuke to Riku changes him into Dark.  But when Dark plants on on Risa, something amazing happens!

In this much-anticipated volume of D・N・ANGEL, Daisuke and Dark are placed in between a rock and a hard place.  After an unknown enemy kidnaps Risa - thinking she is the "Sacred Maiden" - Daisuke is ripped apart by his feelings of anger, and the pain drives Dark further away from helping him...

When Risa and Dark - who's actually Wiz in disguise - go to a popular new horror movie, Wiz is nearly scared to death!  Meanwhile Riku and Daisuke are enjoying their first time alone, although Daisuke's trying not to have too good a time, lest he change into Dark and blow the whole thing!  Later,...

Daisuke finally has Riku all to himself...or so he thinks.  The only problem is that everybody is getting into his business: his family has been following his every step, his mother wishes her son would just make a move on Riku, and Dark - Daisuke's alter ego - is becoming frustrated at the lack...

When Dark takes the stolen painting to the Niwa home, it turns all black!  Daisuke is trapped inside the artwork, where he meets the real Freedert, who tells him the true version of "Ice and Snow".  Humans can't live long in Freedert's world - and Dark has to do everything in his power to set Daisuke free before it's too late!
