I agree with you

The plot line is so simple, day by day Yostuba lives a lot of funny adventures, she looks so candid *__*
Very goog manga, I think. Unfortunately, in Italy, this manga is dropped at the 5th volume, so I've been keeping on reading the english scans.

There is nothing not to love about this manga :3

*edit* except Yanda! big meanie!! x(

I wish I was like Yotsuba when I was young... I do hope if I have a child one day, she/he would have the same spirit and curiosity as her!!

Yotsuba&! ga suki!!

I've had lots of free time recently and started reading everything back at the very beginning. Chapter 9: Yotsuba & Vengeance. The one where Yotsuba goes around and shoots everyone with a water gun. Her lines are filled with hilarity. Save you excuses for hell. You oughta treasure yer life. I'm done with you. All of these are just brilliantly pulled off while having that funny serious face she put on. Chapter 12 Yotsuba & The Pool. Jumbo throws her effortlessly with no hesitation, and nobody knows how to swim, such a great moment. Chapter 21 Yostuba & The Fireworks Show was a delight because they printed the final pages with some color, I was expecting it and it added a special touch. I hope Santa brings me some more volumes.

Oh man, more people need to read this series! It's really adorable and one-of-a-kind. I actually wrote about the awesomeness of Yotsuba&! and some hidden meanings behind it.

GLOWBALL WARMING!

 

[Akiyama]

I love glowball warming! I think that chapter set the mood for the entire series, it keeps popping up as you continue to read, always makes me laugh. I'm currently into volume 4 and Fuuka explaining to Yotsuba about a heartbreak was hysterical it made me shed a tear. It just keeps going on and on and I would subscribe to the Yotsuba Newspaper any time.

 

[tonyyao82]

The whole "Vengeance" chapter was pretty cute and funny, and it brought up a great point in the end!

 

[Akiyama]

I have started volume 5 and met one of the greatest characters ever! His name is Danbo. I'm going to say Danbo is a he since it's a masculine name even though it's operated by a girl, but robots don't always have a gender. Yotsuba surprised me when she thought it was operated by a person but get's too easily fooled and falls easily under false information, not too hard to manipulated Yotsuba at all.

 

[Googlez_kun]

What??You are just at volume 5?
So now you know the character in my sig."Danbo is powered by money."
Do you know Yanda already?He's in volume 5 as well,you should see him in a chapter or two.I don't want to spoil anything,so i'll just tell you that Yanda's and Yotsuba's interactions are hilarious.I still can't belive you haven't read the other volumes yet.You should get them as soon as possible.I don't know how it is in the US,but they were sold out pretty quickly here.

(I'm desperatly waiting for volume 10)

This is the single greatest manga in existence. There are no debates. In a world of training arcs, huge swords, panty shots, japaneseguysmakingharemswithoutrealising, power levels, nakama, school life, magics, dragons, gundams and more support characters than you can shake every stick on earth at: one little girl with a support cast of 5-8 characters reigns supreme.

When I first joined mangahelpers, I thought "Where's the Yotsuba&! thread?", and then was sad for like 30 seconds before I remembered Yotsuba and then cheered right back up.

If only this would be released on a consistent schedule, more would know of it's greatness.

What is Duralumin?

A fluffy teddy bear that plays with our hearts.

And a type of metal I believe?

Chapter 73 and 74 is out.

This manga always makes me feel great! The characters are so freaking lovely.

Spoiler

Chapter 74: "Now I'm gonna read this book super fast!" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

 

[jorped]

Started reading it and so far it has been very enjoyable, so i will keep reading it. But something tells me i won't need much time to catch up with it

 

[ZayCon]

It doesn't really take much time to read, as it's minimal with text. What takes time when reading Yotsuba&! is all the great art and great facial impressions that you just sit calmly and watch for several minutes. At least that's what I did when I read it. I do it even more now, that it's just a single chapter now and then.

Yeah i am already at chapter 17 and i have been enjoying it a lot. Does the story progress ? Do we get more information about Yotsuba past ? And the facial expressions are definitely very well made.

 

[ZayCon]

The story do progress, but it's not talk about huge alterations. The introductions of some new characters is the main cause for this, as it opens up for some new viewpoints etc.

Personally I think Yotsuba&! is just getting better and better.

 

[jorped]

Isn't Yotsuba&! very popular in Japan ? Based on that, i thought it would be a bit more popular here but based on the ammount of comments on this thread it doesn't seem to be the case. Of the mangas that i have started in the last couple of days, is definitely the one that has most captivated me.
