The actual reason was because Azuma feels ''Yotsuba&!'' just wouldn't translate well to animation due to its simplicity.

** The strip "Read Between the Lines" has a bunch of characters call Yomi by name, with no punchline. It might seem confusing out of context, but the strip was made in response to Azuma receiving constant fan questions about Yomi's name, as he never gave it up until that point (in the first popularity poll, she was simply named "{{Meganekko}}"). "Read Between the Lines" is both a pun on the meaning of Yomi's name and a response to those fans.

* IncidentalMultilingualWordplay: A few cases occur when Tomo gives Osaka an impromptu quiz.
** In the anime, Osaka makes a pun on the word ''kaidan'', which means either "horror story" or "staircase" depending on context. This pun translated easily into English, because of the double meaning of the English word "stor(e)y".
** Tomo asks the riddle, "Who's always banging up cars?" The answer is "the dentist," because the Japanese word for "dentist" is phonetically the same as the word for a scrapped car (''haisha''). But in English, "''dent''ist" works just as well in context. The anime could get this across through Osaka's diction; the manga simply replaces it with another joke instead of trying to convey the right enunciation through text (e.g. "dent-ist").
** In the manga, Tomo asks, "If ''Nihongo'' (Japanese) is from Japan, then where did ''Eigo'' (English) come from?"; the answer is "Also Japan." Since the whole joke is that ''Nihongo'' and ''Eigo'' are the Japanese words for "Japanese" and "English," respectively, the translation simply flips the terms: "If English came from England, where did Japanese come from?" ("Also England").
** One of the riddles work exactly the same in English and Japanese: "A truck carrying pumpkins, eggplants and tomatoes approaches a sharp curve; what drops?" "The speed."

* ThrowItIn: When Creator/NorioWakamoto was brought in to record the voice of Chiyo-chan's "father," all of his scenes had already been scripted and animated (which is typical in anime production). While he kept to the scripted lines, his delivery invariably ran longer than the animation (in one case, ''over a full minute'' longer). Rather than rerecord his lines, the staff reanimated the scenes to match them.
