Oh Yotsuba! How we enjoy your adventures!Written by Kiyohiko Azuma, Yotsuba is manga about a young girl growing up and learning all about the world around her through all sorts of funny adventures. Everything and anything becomes exciting when Yotsuba is around.
Lucy says: I think it is really nice, but I'm going to snatch it out of your hands. I like it.
What Taran has to say: Yotsuba's adventures make me laugh so hard I might even turn into a glow ball.
Kimba's take: Yotsuba is witty and silly and I enjoy reading it again and again. The three of us went through the first 3 volumes in just 24 hours. Every now and again one of us will say a one-liner from the comic and burst out laughing. Yotsuba's innocence and enthusiasm are delightful. The author does an amazing job capturing a believable young person on the pages of this comic.
This is a light-hearted romp and I would recommend it to just about anyone. I know of young children, pre-teen boys and girls and adults who are all big fans of Yotsuba. I guess she and her co-stars are fun for everyone.
Some interesting discussions about various topics have ensued: parenting and respect (or lack thereof) that adults give to children, Japanese culture, orphans, cicadas, global warming, zoos, fireworks, genetic variation, humor, fear, buses and favorite movies and their dialogue.
***Glow Ball Warning refers to a mispronunciation of Yotsuba's involving global warming.
