anyone here a fan? I'm pretty sure most Azumanga fans are (or will be) fans of Azuma's latest series. While it shouldn't be compared to Azumanga, most would end up doing it anyways. Main character reminds me of Chiyo and Osaka.. cute little girl that's very naive.. a real innocent little devil. The stuff she does is so random and just plain hillarious, yet "evil". Any one know if there are current plans on making an anime series out of this?

I love what I've read so far and the humor Azuma puts into this is very universal. I see Yotsuba as a Chiyo/Osaka/Tomo mix because she has the annoying, ditzy, and cute qualities those characters have. My favorite gag in the series is how Jumbo uses her to get with Asagi. As far as I know there are no plans for an anime but I sure hope they make one.

^speaking of which, what's the korean name for Yotsubato? I wanted to get my korean teacher into this series since she was a hard core fan of Azumanga

Her name reflects the hairstyle; Yotsuba is "four leaf clover."

i love yotsuba&!. i just bought vol. 3 today in fact. i'm surprised that it's actually out so soon because japan is only on vol 4 or so. i really hope that they make an anime out of it.

i like yotsuba as a character a lot, but sometimes she does get annoying. like... when she does rude things (i guess unintentionally). the jokes are really funny though. like, laugh out loud funny.

OMG! I looove this manga! It's awesome! I loved Azumanga too! But the fact that Yotsuba is in like actual manga format (and not like one column cartoons, not that they're was anything bad with them) is a real treat! =D Can't wait for the rest!

Do you think the Yotsuba plot will develop and thicken? Or will they kid around the whole time, like in Azumanga?

i like it but it wasn't really LOL funny to me until volume 4.

ADV manga sucks though. i think they just completely forgot about yotsuba.

^Fom Wikipedia:

QUOTE

The series was licensed by ADV Manga for English language distribution in 2004 and released in 2005 . After three volumes were released in the US, the manga was put on hold by ADV Manga, much to the chagrin of readers. Amazon.ca and Amazon.com has recently added volumes 4 and 5 to their website, stating that Yotsuba&! volume 4 is shipping June 27, 2007 and volume 5 is shipping October 10, 2007.

Whooo dunno how reliable that info is.. but hopefully it's right?

The manga's hilarious. It's sooo random.

It's true. ADV restructured their manga division and will be releasing Yotsuba&! again along with Gunslinger Girl, another title that was on hiatus.
