And thus we reach the ending for Yotsuba&!, at least for now. :( Probably will take another year or so before new material/new volumes pop up.

I will miss Yotsuba. I loved her antics in Volume 9,10,11 and this one. She keeps getting funnier and more interesting. Loved that she painted her dads table all blue and how he punished her for spreading paint everywhere. Also the camping trip was fantastic, and so I could go on with the things that happen that were fun. I can just say, I had a great time reading this.

However one thing I would like to see, more clothes for Yotsuba. She always has the same pants (short or long, depending on season) and shirt (short or long, again seasonal). I know she has other clothes too, and I would like to see some variety in what she wears.

Other than that, Yanda must still be deleted from the face of the earth. God he stays annoying and mean. :\

Well I will be (im)patiently waiting for the next volume.

My god, I just need infinite amounts of this series. It should be never ending. Why are there not already like a hundred volumes of this?

Yotsuba is the most adorable kid in the world and I hope I have a kid like her someday. She’s learning, she's getting older. She’s not in school yet, so she just explores and has fun all day every day. I love that she learns something new all the time, that she misspells and mispronounces words all the time, that she’s learning not to lie or make up stories. It’s realistic in that way to me. And I also like that, while her dad lets her do most of what she wants and have fun and go out with friends, she has rules, and she gets punished when she does something wrong. Her dad has rules for her, like he should, but he also clearly loves her and plays along with what she wants, lets her be herself.

This is the way to parent, you guys.

I’m so, so upset that I’m all caught up. It came way too fast, and it’s going to be a long time before another volume comes out. It sucks, and I will probably reread the previous volumes while I wait.

I adore this series and re-read it several times while waiting for each new volume to come out.

Too good! So pure!
This is the most adorable series ever! It never fails to make me smile and laugh when I see Yotsuba exploring the world around her.

I rarely laugh out loud when reading but this one gave me a good laugh! I can always trust in Yotsuba to brighten my day.
