Yotsuba&!
Yotsuba&!
Yotsuba& (or ????) is a new manga series by Kiyohiko Azuma (Azumanga Daioh). Yotsuba according to the footnotes in the ADV manga footnotes means Four-clover (Four leaf clover). Fitting of her name, the main character is an energetic young girl with green hair and 4 ponytails. The general premise for the story involves the everyday adventures of this country bumpkin type girl learning all about the big city. Yotsuba lives alone with her father, a relatively young guy who's pretty immature. Most of the comic situations come from Yotsuba's interactions with 3 neighbor girls, Ena (14 I think), Fuka (16 or so) and Asagi (19 maybe), who are all sisters, and the fun loving "Jumbo" who is the father's good friend (who is a descendant of giraffes or so he says).
I've bought a copy of this manga for 4 of my friends so far and every single one absolutely loves it. It's a safe for the whole family type manga that will have you crying from laughing so hard.
The above image is fanart from one of the best fanart sites I've ever come across. It's got mostly Azumanga/Yotsuba art, but there is alot of original artwork as well as some other stuff like FLCL and Evangelion.

The home page image has the father, Yotsuba, then some guy and Ena, then some guy and Jumbo. I dont know who those 2 guys are, maybe from later in the series.

Considering how popular Azumanga was (here in the US anyway, dont know about Japan) one would think Yotsuba would become an anime as well. I cant find any details about one yet, so perhaps it hasnt been announced. Personally I like manga better than anime because I can read alot quicker than i can sit and watch a series, plus the stories are usually better in manga (not sure why).
side note: Just looking around for Yotsuba details, it seems it was the best selling graphic novel at Waldenbooks last month. I wonder if I had anything to do with that, since I bought 4 of them myself

Pretty much every manga I've found has been $10 or close to it. I dont know if that's good or bad. Ten dollars sounds so cheap to me that I end up buying a whole bunch of them @_@.
Just yesterday I bought 7 manga ($75 >_<). Maho Sensei Negima vol. 6 finally came out (w00t, best manga ever!), and I found a couple of new ones like Genshiken and some US manga i've never heard of before. I have an aspiring manga artist as a friend, so I need to support as much US manga as I can ^__^
It's nice to be out of college with a full time job so I can actually afford manga and anime now. I used to be broke when I was in school >_<

First, look at the price you have in your local store for Yotsubato. Next... look at this: the about lowest price you can find Yotsubato in Finland. Well, I haven't found a single store where it would've been below 11 euros. Not going to buy as I didn't find Yotsubato as good as I found Azumanga.
