I really needed cheering up, so I went through a reread of Yotsuba&! 1-4, along with basically staying up all night catching up, aided by

There were a few moments in v. 1 in which I wasn't quite sure, like when she didn't know what a school was, or what "moving" was, or what a doorbell was. The AC I sort of am skeptical about as well; even if her house didn't have one, did she never go into an air-conditioned store her entire life?

Yotsuba & Rain is (still) my favorite chapter. An umbrella really isn't, to her, something to keep off rain but something you carry when it's raining. (Even if rain isn't nearly as cool as a typhoon.)
One thing I've been noticing in the latest chapters, the ones that will go into volume 9, is that we've been spending less time in Yotsuba's POV, including more scenes where she isn't even present. I'm not quite sure what to make of this, but am willing to follow Azuma just about anywhere he takes us, at this point.
