History YMMV / Yotsuba

* FandomBerserkButton: For many members of Website/FourChan, Yotsuba is the Berserk Button... don't ask. Specifically, [[EvenEvilHasStandards don't ask for any]] {{Rule 34}}.

* HarsherInHindsight/TrollingCreator: For the people hoping for an anime adaptation, Nyanbo's CREDITS feature Yotsuba. She doesn't appear anywhere else in the anime, and doesn't even speak.

* UnacceptableTargets: Almost the TropeNamer, due to her being a 5-year-old that is adorable and innocent in nature. Even in [[EvenEvilHasStandards the darkest depths]] [[Website/FourChan of the Internet]], Yotsuba Is Off Limits.

** Yotsuba is used as a mascot by some ImageBoards, most prominently 4chan, which uses a clover as its logo and runs on a modification of Futaba called Yotsuba.

** Or in this case, Read It For [[ImageBoards 404 Girl]].

* BadassDecay: While Yotsuba's dad is still an enjoyable character, he doesn't seem to get into Yotsuba's whims as enthusiasticly as before, and seems more like bothered when withnessing his daugther's quirks.

* HollywoodHomely: Fuuka is often unfavorably compared to Asagi, whose beauty is constantly praised and has gotten the attention of Jumbo and Yanda. Yotsuba goes as far as to call Asagi and Fuuka the "pretty sister" and "not-pretty sister" respectively before she remembers their names properly in the 2nd chapter. Though there are times when we are reminded that yes, Fuuka is considered very attractive. The first time is when Jumbo ''does'' actually call her a Bishoujo[[note]]"pretty girl"[[/note]] when he meets her, he's just also quick to demote her to "just a shoujo" after he meets Asagi; and then at the pool Koiwai and Jumbo are stunned by the sight of Fuuka in a two piece swim-suit, and when she teasingly asks Jumbo if they are stunned at her sexiness, Jumbo seriously states "Yes" before quickly back tracking and playing it off as a joke.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Was Torako blowing smoke in Yotsuba's face a KickTheDogMoment, or was she trying to show her that smoking is '''not''' cool after she had previously said [[SmokingIsCool she was cool for doing it]]?

* WatchItForTheMeme: Or in this case, Read It For [[ImageBoards 404 Girl]].

** Koiwai has shaggy shoulder-length hair and his facial features and body type are on the softer side, so readers often mistake him to be female until they see Yotsuba calling him Daddy in the first chapter. It doesn't help that he's sometimes drawn next to Jumbo, whose height and breadth ''really'' make him look feminine.

** For [[YuriFan some fans]], Asagi x Torako is a popular ship even though the two, as far as readers are concerned, are just close friends that hang out a lot.

* MayDecemberRomance: Most of the heterosexual ships in the series, notably Koiwai/Fuuka and Yotsuba/Yanda. Koiwai is about ten years older than Fuuka, who's still a high schooler, and Yotsuba is probably 20 years younger than Yanda. Strangely enough, the fans tend to not be deterred by the age gaps and questionable implications of pedophilia.

Strangely enough, the fans tend to not be "[[Squick squicked]]" out by the age gaps and questionable implications of pedophilia.

** [[HoYay Koiwai and Jumbo's]] closeness with each other have garnered a few fans for the ship. Koiwai is never seen with other friends (besides Yanda), Yotsuba is convinced Jumbo is his only friend, and some panels with the two of them with Yotsuba make them look like an actual family.

* ShipToShipCombat: Hardly bloodthirsty but it pops up on occasion. For example since the Balloon arc, some have started to prefer Koiwai with Asagi over Fuuka. Then of course there are those who prefer [[ShipMates Asagi with Torako and Fuuka with Koiwai]].

** It is also exemplified ''within'' the series by the teddy bear Duralumin, who shares a name with a metal alloy but is really Yotsuba's [[{{Malaproper}} mispronunciation]] of ''Ena's'' stuffed bear Giulietta.

** For [[YuriFan some fans]], Asagi and Torako who are close friends that hang out a lot.

* LesYay: Asagi is never seen socializing with anybody outside of family and her neighbors--except for Torako. Asagi and Torako also love to go on long outings together, and [[YuriFan some people]] feel those show all the telltale signs of actual dates. It helps that the outings we know of, do indeed seem like date spots; an Okinawan beach, a Hot Air Balloon race, and a Firework Display. Its also shown that these outings are always, or at least planned, for just the two of them.
** It doesn't help that when Jumbo demands to know who "[[GenderBlenderName Tora]]" is, after Yotsuba draws a picture of Asagi and her, in which it is impossible to tell Torako's true sex. Yotsuba describes Tora in a way that sounds like Tora is Asagi's boyfriend[[note]] In the original Japanese Yotsuba doesn't use any gender specific pronouns[[/note]], much to Jumbo's [[HeroicBSOD dismay]]. It becomes something of a running gag later on.

* NoYay: Quite a few people prefer the ship tease to stay subtle and go no where.

* HollywoodPudgy: Fuuka is frequently stated to have fat legs, and is even teased about this by Asagi and their mother. Look at a picture of Fuuka alongside any other teen girl character in the series, and see if there's ''any'' major difference in their body types. Then again, Asagi and mom are jerkasses at times, so they could just be messing with her. Asagi even tells Tora off once for saying she has fat legs, saying Tora is just too skinny.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Cardbo/Danbo, the cardboard robot, who got an action figure despite having (at the time) appeared only once, and has even ascended to the noble position of [=Official Mascot=] of Amazon.co.jp. Just don't tell Yotsuba [[spoiler:it's Miura in a costume made for a school assignment]]. He even comes with his own ''customizable'' plastic model! [[http://www.collectiondx.com/news_item/2912/danboard_kit_kotobukiya BEHOLD!]]

* FanNickname:
** Yotsuba appears on [=4chan=]'s 404 Not Found page, and is thus known as "404 Girl".
** A recurring character that Yotsuba sometimes plays with was called "Dotty" by the fans, after her eyes being always drawn as 2 dots. After being unnamed for a good while, she was eventually given the nickname "Mi-chan" in the chapter "Yotsuba & the Sandpit".

** Torako also has short hair and doesn't dress femininely so she can confuse readers too. The only physical hints of her gender are her chest and slight eyelashes found mostly on the female characters.
** Koiwai has shaggy shoulder-length hair and his facial features are on the softer side, so readers often mistake him to be female until they see Yotsuba calling him Daddy.

* AngstWhatAngst: Yotsuba was either orphaned or abandoned overseas, then taken in and raised by Dad. At least partly justified, since Yotsuba seems to have been too young to remember her real parents, and anyway, what matters to this story is that she's happy and [[strike: well-adjusted]] [[strike: normal]] healthy ''now''.

** In chapter 61, Koiwai gives Yotsuba a "helicopter ride" (swinging her around by the arms so her feet leave the ground). Then Asagi lines up to try it, and seeing them circling each other hand in hand, Torako comments "They seem to get along together really well". A few chapters later, Koiwai teases Jumbo with a picture of it.

** Miura tends to get shipped with [[LesYay Ena]] or, more frequently and more ''[[{{Squick}} disturbingly]]'', [[HugeGuyTinyGirl Jumbo]].
