Review:
I wasn’t planning
on reviewing another volume until I was all caught up, but I’m in a standstill
until I get more, and just really needed to express my love for this series
some more. I wasn’t completely bought in the first volume, but now I am.
I completely love
and adore Yotsuba, as a series and a character. Yotsuba is adorable and so
hilarious, and I love the way everyone goes along with her. She’s not in school
yet, and so pretty much just hangs out with her father and her neighbors all
day, getting into trouble and having fun. Her father has rules, and she does
get in trouble when she breaks them (like how she got grounded when she rode
her bike too far out of the neighborhood on her own), but for the most part he
lets her do what she wants (like jumping on him). And then she’ll get play
ideas in her head, like someone’s a bad guy or that a cardboard robot is real,
and everyone will just go along with it. They want her to stay happy and
oblivious, and I love it.
This is pretty much
just a comedic series, with story for at least a chapter and long-running
jokes, and some four panel strips. But it’s hilarious, and everything Yotsuba
does is adorable, and just plain has me grinning at this point.
I can’t wait to get
my hands on the rest of this series, and am so glad I decided to catch up on
this one first.
