jtniehof 's review for:

Yotsuba&!, Vol. 1 by Kiyohiko Azuma, あずまきよひこ
2.0

From the creator of Azumanga Daioh. I enjoyed Azumanga (although the anime did a better job) and had high hopes for Yotsuba&! based on recommendations from other fans. Alas, I was disappointed. Yotsuba is a younger version of Osaka, my least favourite Azumanga character. She crosses the line from naive child to deliberately stupid, obnoxious brat. There are one or two sweet moments, but mostly this manga makes for effective birth control.
