Review # 1 was written on 2016-08-09 00:00:00 James Jacobs This is going to sound extremely cheesy, but this manga makes me realize how precious life is. Yotsuba's amazement at the simplest things makes me realize how everything is just so full of wonder and excitement. We take so much of our life for granted. I really wish I could have had a childhood like Yotsuba has. Kids that sit around playing video games have no idea what they're missing! Going fishing, making your own newspaper... This is the ideal childhood.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-12-31 00:00:00 Fern Fladell Another beautiful read. World: Amazing art, I love how emotive the characters are and the focus on the small and mundane and making it unique. Azuma's art is simply splendid. The world building is solid, it's small and intimate and only enough for the story to play out. It's basic but that's all it needs to be. Story: A collection of fun little slice of life tales through the eyes of Yotsuba. From newspapers to fairies to trips it's all here. The time we spend with the other characters is also wonderful, I really liked the stuff with Ena and Miura. Characters: Beautiful characters. Simple and beautiful. Through the last four books we have slowly learned about these characters and we learn much every time. Ena is deceptively strong and Miura is the opposite and it makes me laugh. The stuff with Fuuka is fun and her reaction is so very realistic but at the same time over the top. I love this series, I'm biased. Onward to the next book!
