Im just wondering....

Yotsuba&! is centered on Yotsuba Koiwai, a five-year-old adopted girl who is energetic, cheerful, curious, odd, and quirky—so odd and quirky that even her own father calls her strange. She is also initially ignorant about many things a child her age would be expected to know, among them doorbells, escalators, air conditioners, and even playground swings. This naiveté is the premise of humorous stories where she learns about, and frequently misunderstands, everyday things.

Yotsuba is written by Kiyohiko Azuma the guy who created Azumanga Daioh.(Yay!)

Yotsuba is great ^^ She's so adorable I wish I had one ^^()

Anyway, I think there's 5 books of it out right now (still haven't found a 6th one) and I managed to grab them before they disappeared. Yotsuba is a light and funny read great for just picking up when you're in between things. So yes ^.o I'm a total fan of Yotsuba.

I love this manga, it never fails to make me at least smile if not laugh out loud.

I just started reading it, actually. And so far, it's BRILLIANT!
It's such a relaxing and simple thing to read, and although I worried some of the humour would be very Japan-specific, every chapter manages to get a real dorky grin out of me. Very Happy
I also love the art; you couldn't really tell how good Azuma drew from the small panels in Daioh!, but in this it comes full shine. Strong, clear lines, perfect anatomy, and really well-balanced character designs (Jumbo's awesome!)

I LOVE this manga it's great for a nice relaxing drama free break from the other stuff I read. Yotsuba is so adorable and all the characters are likable and each story is usually a mix of sweet and funny. My only complaint is there isn't more of it to read.

I liked it more than Azumanga Daioh, but mostly because Yotsuba is just so cute! I really wish that an anime version would be produced soon, because some of Yotsuba's antics will be much better if it's animated.

Yotsuba&! Fan, right here at your service!

It is really delightful, with true, pure childhood aspects. Wacky, yet honest neighbors, humongous friends *CoughJumbocough*, and the perky little clover-headed protagonist herself! What's not to love? (Admittedly, Yotsuba (her) is very odd at times, but that's what makes it even cuter!) Character designs may not seem much, but if you pay attention to the backgrounds, you can see a lot of accurate details and good effort. It truly is worth reading over and over again.
