** Asagi acts like a jerk to other adults. Yanda acts like a jerk to a ''five-year-old''. The other thing is that Yotsuba has interacted with Asagi a lot more and views her as friendlier, even if she does mess with her on occasion, whereas Yanda doesn't really interact with Yotsuba outside of bothering her.

*** Also, Yotsuba is the POV character in this series, and she hates Yanda (while she's alright with Asagi).

* I know that the attitude towards underage kids taking a sip of alcohol isn't that strict in Japan, but in chapter 21, Miura asks Jumbo for some of his beer. We don't see if he gives it to her, but why would Miura, clearly an elementary schooler, ask for beer from a person she barely knows when she's in a festival?

** She's not that dumb for a five-year-old. It's hard to believe that a kid her age had never seen a swing but clearly she hadn't. They're fairly self explanatory, but most children need to be taught how to propel themselves back and forth on one. I was around Yotsuba's age when I learned and I had seen people using them before. So it makes sense that Yotsuba would need to be taught. Regarding Cardbo, one of the first things Yotsuba asked about "him" was, "Is there a person in there?" Miura as Cardo insisted that there wasn't and five year olds are pretty darn gullible. Also, the box on her head was probably distorting Miura's voice and surely she was speaking in a robotic voice which apparently kept Yotsuba from recognizing her.

Removed previous update on the Fuuka Panty Shot situation, because really, who wants it as an ever-growing list?

** It is indeed monthly, but Azuma takes a remarkable number of months off, especially when redrawing backgrounds for a volume release. (He apparently does more of the work himself than typical for a commercial mangaka, with only one or two assistants.) As a result, it takes about a year to put out the seven chapters needed for a volume.

[[redirect:Headscratchers/{{Ptitle0oz11ebp3lfe}}]]* What is it with that girl and dairy?
** Eh -- it's just a phase. A few more months her time (a couple years for us) she'll be on to some other obsession, like dinosaurs or samurai or HelloKitty.
* The imageboard that uses her as a mascot bans people who post Rule34 of her on said imageboard. Why?
** They never banned for it, unless one of the mods felt like being cute. They don't even care about it anymore, really.
*** They do actually.
*** What's happening here is that you're confusing 4chan's actual feelings with 4chan's memetic feelings. In reality they more often than not just leave it.
* The four-leaf clover hairstyle — she wears it even in bed, why? Wouldn't it be kinda adorable if we can see her hair flowing sometimes?
* Why is Yotsuba so dumb? Honestly, she doesn't even know what a swing is and Ena has to show her how it works. Really? Five-year-olds practically ''live'' on playgrounds. I also find it hard to swallow that Yotsuba wouldn't realize that Cardbo is simply Miura in a cardboard box. Kids that age often have remarkable deductive reasoning, albeit less linear, and any moderately intelligent kid ''would'' figure it out rather quickly. A lot of situations stem from Yotsuba's remarkable lack of common sense, to the point where one might start pointing fingers toward her father, even though he seems to do a good job instructing her overall. Maybe Yotsuba is simply a few crayons short of a box. Poor Mr. Koiwai.
** well, it does say she's from a foreign, undetermined country. I always assumed she was from a primitive country where there were no playgrounds and children didn't have schooling or anything.
* What exactly does Mr. Koiwai translate? Does he do what ever translation jobs he told for a company? Is he an Independent translator for mangas and such? And what languages does he translate things into? He speaks Japanese, that much is for sure, but being a translator, he must know a few more, right?
** I dunno, maybe English?
*** In the manga, there were absolutely no hints at all at the language he's translating to/from, the topic of his material or even his employer. Intentionally.
** Whatever it is, its probably technical. Duralumin/Juralumin is an actual building material used in various industries. Yotsuba must have overheard him saying it or maybe read it, liked the sound of it and remembered it for a name for a teddy bear. A quick 'other wiki' search shows that Duralumin is an older material, originally from Germany, now used mainly in the aircraft and automobile industry. Koiwai must do technical translations for some company in those fields.
* What's the release schedule for this series? Monthly? It''s been how many years since this series has been published and the characters are barely near Christmas.
