[Review] Yotsuba&!

**hongster** · 05-06-2008, 07:15 AM

Synopsis: Yotsuba is an ongoing manga series by Kiyohiko Azuma. It is currently being published by MediaWorks. The series is considered to be a comedy and slice of life. For this review, I will only review volumes 1-5 since I own them.

Summary: Unlike normal children her age, Yotsuba is extremely cheerful, curious, and at the same highly energetic. As Yotsuba and her father (Koiwai) move into their new neighborhood, Yotsuba will encounter many new friends and experience life that is both fun and adventurous. With friends like "Jumbo" and the Ayase residence, Yotsuba will have many funny encounters such as going on a cicada hunt, watching the fireworks, star gazing, fishing for the first time, as well as encountering weird friends such as befriending a robot and meeting enemies in the form of Yanda.

Review: Yotsuba is pure fun and that's what makes it so great. The manga is filled with many humorous scenes between Yotsuba, the Ayase residence, Jumbo and Mr. Koiwai that you will be laughing a lot while reading through the manga. It's both cute and fun to read Yotsuba and the little adventures she goes on, either by herself or with someone else. Each character is unique and you will quickly remember each character since not only will they appear every now and then, but each of them are memorable, which is quite rare for any manga. The manga features one of the cleanest art you will ever find in a manga. All the characters look great and the background art goes well with each scene. One of the best mangas for all ages.

My Final Score: 5 out of 5 Stars

I've read vol 1-7. adv manga went under iirc

really funny manga, I like it better than azumanga daioh

Rathma · 12-06-2008, 08:48 PM

I love this manga because it reminds me of my little nephew.I caught him playing in the bathtub with a stick from the yard. I asked him what he was doing and while looking at the ceiling he said something along the lines of "I hear your voice God and I find myself asking the same thing. Will you give me a sign?" Im standing there like WTF? so I reach over and turn on the shower and he jumps out and looks at me like I ran over a puppy or something. I apologized and turned around and walked out still confused. Oh well... good manga though.

Guzano · 12-09-2008, 04:27 PM

man, I love this manga, it reminded me from when i was a kid, man i cant stop laughing when i read this manga (specially the chapter when yotsuba plays with a water pistol or when they go to the school festival), a 10/10

daisukereds · 12-09-2008, 05:23 PM

Thank god that Azuma didn't change his style (from Azumanga Daioh)...it's as funny as ever!
The only thing I don't like is that he takes months for a realease!, and that he can take all that free time to go around taking pictures for his next manga chapter, TT_TT not fair...

Oh well... good manga though. As a child my parents sang two songs as a lullaby. Dad = "Have you Ever Seen the Rain?" Mom = "One Tin Soldier" My parents were big hippies. Ill probably use those same songs as a lullaby for my kid(s).
