Yotsuba&!

Well, I'm on /azu/ all the time.

SO I ALREADY KNEW

It's just easier to read it all online. :/

Granted; I prefer reading it online too. But sometimes people just don't have it up yet.

Weird, I prefer to DL it.

How many volumes are available in America or Europe? In here, we have up to tenth volume.

I'm from the US, and I only have up to volume 9...

Amazon says Vol. 10 won't be out until October.

Oh. I see.

Who here adores the art style? Not only the author can use characters' facial expressions to great humorous effect, the sceneries, goddamnit, the scenery. I just...love it so much. In fact, it has my second favorite sceneries of all time (the first is ARIA and really, you can't top that in terms of sceneries). Did I mention how much I love the sceneries?

Indeed. Japanese suburbia never looked more beautiful.

Oh yes. The thing is, if you look at the lines carefully, they are not that delicate, as in more realistic sceneries drawings do. However, it gives off very friendly and soft feeling, which does WONDERS because it fits the tone of the work very well.

I think it's a mark of a great artist to be able to match the tone and the art style of a work.

Backtracking to a point made earlier (in an attempt to artificially length this thread), Azuma's wide variety of odd and unusual expressions is always a joy. Not only that, but I find that aside from those exaggerated faces, but the normal expressions as well are quite effective. My favorite example of this is the subtly raised, stiff shoulders Miura has here to mark her unease at tengu costume Jumbo.

Yotsubato&? Yotsuba and and? Seriously, why do people think her name is Yotsubato?◊

I know, right?

^^ Maybe the artist made a slip up and didn't know whether to put the Japanese title or the translated title?

Chapter 74 and this one is about cameras.

Yotsuba with the camera on that second to final page wow cuteness overload...

Aww, someone beat me to it.

Yotsuba (bottom) is getting more adorable every chapter.

I heard a rumor that after being criticized for "weak backgrounds and scenery" in Azumanga Daioh he made extra effort to produce rockstar scenery for yotsuba.

I say he succeeded .

I love how she calls the neighbors mom, "mom." I don't recall her even being given a name

It's she. And I think succeeded is an massive understatement, I mean seriously, it is GORGEOUS!

No, Yotsuba's author is a guy

Whoa, never mind.

Yotsuba&! Chapter 75 up.*

EDIT: ;_;

I read the tenth volume. Is that the end, because I really don't want it to be the end. Yotsuba is just too wonderful to end.

Oh Yotsuba injured Teddy bears are Serious Business.
