I just found out about this new manga from Azuma Kiyohiko, who did Azumanga Daioh. I got to read it at the anime convention and it was hilarious! It's not four-panel like AzuDai, but it still seems to be slice-of-life. And there are men in this one. Who don't chase after high school girls.
But the best part is Yotsuba herself. She's got Chiyo-chan's cuteness with Osaka's brain. In addition to being a good artist, Azuma's an awesome comedy writer. Ah, but I can't believe I have to wait till August for Volume 2!

Things I think Are Funny Early in the Morning: If Batman were a Smurf: "Quick, Robin! We must smurf down to the Batcave and smurf the Batplane! Then we must smurf the batsmurf so we can smurf where the Joker is smurfing!"
The Croonerism Spate (explanations upon request)
Be careful with this one, there is a bit of a pun involved. Dr. Spooner described his visit to a castle: "In the center of the fortress was the Palace Court. The gated entrance to this area was the court palace."

I have just finished reading the volumes 1 and 2, and I love it. Azuma Kiyohiko has a great sense of humor, and Yotsuba is one of the cutest characters ever. I really like the story where she pretends to be a gangster and gets "revenge" on the neighbors.
Dad: "So how did your revenge go?"
Yotsuba: "I died."
Dad: "See, revenge gets you nowhere."
I hope they make this into an anime soon. How many volumes are out in Japan?

To see everything, effortlessly, that is what it means to truly see.

Couple of things:Vagabond wrote:Dad: "So how did your revenge go?"
Yotsuba: "I died."
Dad: "See, revenge gets you nowhere."
-It's Jumbo, not her father, who asks her about revenge.
-There's an exclamation mark after "I died" that makes all the difference--with the facial expression she's so happy that she was killed.
-I've seen three released in Japan, but there could be more.
-Sakuya: it is licensed in the US by ADV Manga, and I have not seen any scanlations. If you want to see it free, the easiest thing would be to read it in the bookstore.

Yes. Go buy it, it's worth it. I believe two volumes are out now...Sakuya wrote:Is this licensed in America?

o_O how bizarre. I've never seen that. Every big bookstore (including Borders) that i've been into, the manga is way toward the back near the children's books and scifi, and we can sit down and read em.Sakuya wrote:Already?! I'm so behind.I hope Barnes & Noble has it. My Borders (or was it Waldenbooks) does not let us read the manga unless we buy it. And to make it worse, their entire manga shelf is RIGHT next to the cashier. -_-"
Joey: The question is, Rachel, does he like you? ''Cuz if he doesn''t, then it''s all just a moo point.
Rachel: Huh...a...moo point?
Joey: Yeah. It''''s like a cow''s opinion. It doesn''t matter....It''s moo.
