Because it is MADE OF AWESOME!

My write up kind of sucks, largely because I just to go "Read it! Read it!" and laugh hysterically as I remember bits.

Such joy! such pure and wonderful joy of life! (I need to reread it.)

[oyceter]

I know! I just bought v. 1 because it is OOP on Amazon and I may have reread it for the third time in a few weeks. It is just so cheering.

Yotsuba&! makes me so happy! I am so glad that Yen Press has picked up the license.

[oyceter]

ME TOO! This is definitely a series I want to have hard copies of.

Yotsuba is love, and the series keeps getting better as the story moves into autumn. (In recent chapters, she takes part in a shrine festival and gets her first beddy-tear teddy-bear.)

Let's see, if you've read through volume 4 that means you've met the +12 Raincoat of Adorableness, but not the +3 band-aids of Not Crying. Unfortunately, volume 5 is REALLY hard to find now, and it's not clear Yen Press will get the rights to reprint it.

ObSelfPromotion: Last year, I did a chapter-by-chapter slow reading of the series in yotsubato, indexed here.

Thank you! Your write-ups were great (also, I love your icons).

[lnhammer]

Aww, thankee. Only some of the icons are my own fault, though.

Yotsuba& really is one of the best slice-of-life series I've ever seen.
