Yotsubato!
Has anyone read scanlations of this series? It apparently has the same artistic style as Azumanga Daioh (which of course both had be written\drawn by the same person) and the main character looks a lot like Chiyo-chan with green hair. I haven't read this one yet, but I heard somewhere that ADV Manga is going to release this one during the summertime. This should probably be a good addition to my manga collection, given the AD connection...

I've seen it. I have vol 1 in JP and saw 1-2 in scanlation [3 volumes in Japanese available] (now lost due to a computer crash and no longer available because of impending release).
I think this is a great series. One person described it as: What if Chiyo chan had a brain transplant and a younger version of Osaka was the donor. Yotsuba (the title Yotsubato means "Yotsuba and..." is a young girl who has moved into a neighborhood with her father (going deeper into that involves spoilers), next door to a home with three teenage daughters. The series involves the antics Yotsuba gets into. Some hillarious story arcs involve Yotsuba learning about the environmental perils of air conditioning, and one where she gets a squirt gun and starts imitating a gangster movie she was watching with her father...
Great series. I hope ADV doesn't botch it...

GRAVEDUG'D!
Haha, I just bought volume 1 of this on Thursday. It's SO CUTE!! Haha, and it's hysterical! I think my favorite part was either the thing about the air conditioners, the neighbors meeting Jumbo, or Jumbo and Koiwai's "fight." Hahaha, it cracked me up!! Yotsuba is adorable, and it was SO funny when she ran away from Fuka, thinking she was a stranger.
I love it!

Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

I believe a fourth has been released in Japan, but no word on an US release yet.

Nope, it's a full storyline.

Well, calling it a "storyline" wasn't quite the right choice of words... It's really just a bunch of short stories about the misadventures of a crazy little girl, with a little bit of continuity between chapters.
