Yotsubato and Lucky Star both have many CAA fans, myself included. And, I loved the original Peach Fuzz short (in Rising Stars of Manga) but never really got into the series.

Those are all fairly popular series. Bottle Fairy is all kinds of adorable, though.

Full Moon wo Sagashite was my favorite series for a while, and I like several of Tanemura's other works (her art style is pretty cool!). It's still pretty great when I'm in a shoujo-y mood; I love it. XD And Yotsuba&!'s adorable. I've certainly heard of all the rest and have seen pictures/what have you, but none of them particularly interest me. XD

CHI! =^.^= Great to know another fan. ;) I'm watching Lucky Star, watched Chi's Sweet Home [I am now on Chi's New Address], and my friend has read Full Moon. I have read one volume of Yotsuba&, I wish I could read more, but I often find myself short of the second volume. -.- I have heard of Peach Fuzz, but never of Bottle Fairy.

I've heard of those, but of those I own Yotsuba&! (a personal favorite of mine), and I read the original Peach Fuzz short as well, but I didn't look into the graphic novel.

I'm excited that Yen Press is continuing Yotsuba&! in the fall. :thumb:

Yotsuba&! manga up to volume 3... might read more it's a cute series..XP

Lucky Star up to episode 13 but well it was an INTERESTING experience. I probably won't subject myself to the rest of the series.

I own Bottle Fairy! It was a cute series. It wasn't like, unbelievably awesome or life-changing or anything, but it was enjoyable. Though the one scene where the little girl they talk to has six fingers was odd.

I'd be skeptical of another season. They're done with high school... So it would be about college? It'd change the vibe of the show if they actually brought romance into it in any capacity, for instance (especially since some things are left unsaid as it stands)

I've watched them all. Though I don't think a lot of people know FMwoS since it didn't seem to catch a lot of people's attention. Out of all the Arina Tanemura series, that has to be my favorite one. I did like Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne.

Out of those, I've only read Yotsuba&!, which I thoroughly loved. Somehow, it managed to make a gangster-style, revenge-fueled rampage adorable. (It helped that the perpetrator was Yotsuba, that five-year-old wrecking ball, and she was doing it with a squirt gun.) It's one of my favorite manga; highly reccommended, and great for kids, too.

I'm trying out the Azumanga...er, manga, and so far, I haven't really cared for it. I think it's because of the "four-panel" comic strip format it's in, that makes it harder to read and follow. That format is great when it's just a couple pages of omake in the back of a manga, but it doesn't do well when it's carrying a plot through 100+ pages. Maybe I'll check out the anime some day, but the manga isn't doing much for me.

I wish I could sing teh new theme. X.x I'm better with the old one, myself. However, the new one gets me into a Chi-Mood. -w- And-
[spoiler]Many things are wrong with her. o.o Minya......What kind of person asks a cat for their name? A kitten, none the less! x.x I like Tama from the new series. She's cool, and ninja. ^-^ Kinda like Catzilla....I mean Jaba teh Cat....I mean Blackie. ]

Actually, I've heard that the manga, or rather the comic strip, the series it is based on continued after the graduation (I heard there was some outroar about the loss of the sailor fukus :P) so I think it is possible, specially taken in account its great popularity. Maybe once Haruhi 2.0 is over?

What is Yotsuba about?

PostPosted: Thu Jul 02, 2009 11:04 am

Yotsuba is a personal favorite. It's a 4-koma, not a episodic story, so it reads differently than most manga that we see here. If you are familiar with Azumanga Daioh or Sunshine Sketch, it goes like those.

Yotsuba is the adoptive pre-school daughter of a young single dad who (at the beginning of the series) moves into a house next door to a family with three sisters, whom she virtually adopts as family at first sight. She is inquisitive and playful and very smart, but as a preschooler she is still in the middle of discovering everything we older people take for granted. Her adventures in and observations of everyday life, and the way she perplexes all her elders are hilarious.

You might think Crayon Shin-chan without all the toilet jokes, but that still wouldn't be right. Since it is by the guy who did Azumanga Daioh, you might have a sense of it from that, but I would advise, just read a volume of it. Everything is clean (you wouldn't expect this with a single dad living next door to three beautiful girls in a Japanese comic, but it really is clean.)

One thing though; in my experience the people who enjoy this series the most are parents and elder siblings, who have experienced living with real-life kids Yotsuba's age.

That doesn't sound half-bad, even if I'm not a parent or older sibling. I'll have to check it out.
