Beschreibung des Verlags
Hello! This is Koiwai Yotsuba, Yotsuba Koiwai...um, YOTSUBA! Yotsuba moved
with Daddy to a new house from our old house waaaaaaay over there! And
moving's fun 'cos people wave! (Ohhhh!!) And Yotsuba met these nice
people next door and made friends to play with (one of 'em acted like
one of those bad strangers Daddy told Yotsuba not to go with, but it was
okay in the end). I hope we get to play a lot. And eat ice cream!
And-and-and...oh yeah! You should come play with Yotsuba too!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Yotsuba is the charming new girl in town in this all-ages shojo manga by the author of the popular Azumanga Daioh series. In seven stories, the green-haired four-year-old discovers air conditioners, doorbells, cicadas, swings and more, and does it all with the energy of a small hurricane. Her excitement is contagious and infects her handsome young adoptive father as well as the gaggle of pretty girls next door, all of whom get tangled up in her adventures as they try to keep up with her. But is there something strange about Yotsuba's lack of familiarity with the earthly world? The mystery of her origins is partially revealed in the final story: her father, Mr. Koiwai, found her and took her in, but Azuma seems to hint that there's more to be explained about Yotsuba. Koiwai sums up the reaction everyone seems to have to this little bundle of energy: "She can find happiness in anything," he says. "Nothing in this world can get her down." The plots here are little more than setups to explore everyday objects or concepts through the eyes of the irrepressible Yotsuba, but the genuinely sweet formula works, thanks to Azuma's solid storytelling and deft humor.
