SynopsisYotsuba's daily life is full of adventure. She is energetic, curious, and a bit odd – odd enough to be called strange by her father as well as ignorant of many things that even a five-year-old should know. Because of this, the most ordinary experience can become an adventure for her. As the days progress, she makes new friends and shows those around her that every day can be enjoyable.

Yotsuba&! is the story about Yotsuba Koiwai, a five-year-old girl who stays at home with her dad. She has no mom and is too young to go to school yet. Yotsuba is a cute girl with green (yes green) hair that’s done in four pigtails, giving her the appearance of a four-leaf clover (“yotsuba no kurōbā” in Japanese), and thus her name. 4channers may recognize her as the website’s unofficial mascot.
The manga is by Kiyohiko Azuma who also created Azumanga Daioh. The similarities between these two are very apparent, and the style of humor is the same, so if you liked Azumanga Daioh, then you don’t want to miss reading Yotsuba&!.
Similar to Azumanga Daioh, you’ll meet lots of new characters as the series progresses, mostly Yotsuba’s friends and neighbors, and they are all almost as odd as she is. XD My two favorite characters are Mr. Koiwai and Fuka Ayase. Mr. Koiwai is Yotsuba’s father. I aspire to be like him when I have my own daughter. He’s kind and is always there to take care of Yotsuba, but at the same time he makes sure she behaves properly (not so easy for a five-year-old). Fuka Ayase is 16-years-old and the middle sister of the Ayase family, who lives next-door to Yotsuba. Fuka is creative and smart, and she is the vice-president at school, but she also gets flustered really easily.
Yotsuba&! is a slice-of-life series, through and through. When I thought about slice-of-life, I used to think about Azumanga Daioh or Lucky Star, but none of them capture the little joys and perks in life as well as Yotsuba&! does.
In the manga you’ll follow Yotsuba to the bike store, the zoo, and much much more, all while seeing what life is like through the perspective of an eccentric five-year-old. It is funny reading Yotsuba's unusual but completely innocent remarks about things such as global warming and cicadas. Youtsuba will say and do the darndest things, and despite her bratty side which appears from time to time, you can’t help but adore her. read more

Ok, so here we are with little Yotsuba.
If you're looking for an easy-going manga, this is perfect for you.
Not many dialogues, easy to read, and really funny.
And the best thing of it is that shows you that even the sounds of the cicadas is enjoyable(tsuku tsukuboushi x]).
The "motto" of this manga is "Enjoy everything", and that's exactly what Yotsuba does and shares with us.
It's like being as Yotsuba, 5 years old again.
And she's one of a kind. I would like to have a daughter like her xD.
She is always laughing, and when she gets scared she is really cute. She also learns things really fast but misunderstoods them most of the time, and that's what it makes she so funny, that, and that sometimes she says things that you would never believe a child would say.
The other characters are mostly for Yotsuba's support, but they are unique too, and very different from each other.
The art is really simple, but cute and clean. Like Azumanga Daioh, from the same creator.
So, I recommend you this manga if you want to read something happy and lively.
Enjoy life and enjoy Yotsuba& :]

Yotsuba reads like a heavily remixed version of Azumanga Daioh. Both are by Kiyohiko Azuma, and both should be prescribed remedies for the blues. Nothing on earth is a more potent cheerer-upper than Azuma's works =)))
Same author and lots of randomness in both oOo!
Si te gusto Azumanga, entonces Yotsuba& te va a encantar, este manga es escrito por el mismo autor, Kiyohiko Azuma, y nos narra las divertidas aventuras de la pequeña Yotsuba...no digo mas, debes leerlo para disfrutar la experiencia.
They are both by the same author and have a similar style of unique comedy. A great series if your looking for lots of fun and laughs.
From the same artist, very random and hilarious!
It the same guy creator so it just has to be funny.
Both contain Slice of Life Comedy that will make you laugh and smile.
Both are from the same author and both have the same type of hilarious wackiness. :D A great read indeed
They are both slice of life. Both main characters have the pig tails thing. One more thing is that they are both by the same person.
From the same mangaka as Azumanga Daioh. Both are brilliant and funny! =)
Same author and same feel~ Both have cute characters and good laughs.
Well, what's not similar? They are made by the same mangaka. They are both slice-of-life stories featuring young girls... doing strange, stupid, random, but funny things. And doesn't Chiyo-chan remind you of Yotsuba? (Facial wise... they have completely different... IQ points...)

Another light-hearted slice of life title. Stress-free yet not saccharine, it's perfect for the jaded manga reader or anybody who wishes to see the world in a new light.
Both calming and peaceful manga that i really enjoyed. Though the setting may be different they still manage to have the same feeling of calm and ejoyment of life.
Both top quality Slice of Life!
Both are about green haired girls that go through the adventures of day to day life.
Yotsubato is more light hearted then YKK but both are excellent and are worth giving a try!
How does a view of the world of a 5-year old match the world of Alpha and Kokone?
Discovery.
You couldn't expect the discovery of the world by a 5-year old to be as peaceful and calm as YKK, but there are moments (like the astronomy) where things just work out right.
There's more humor in Yotsuba, the artwork is of a very good quality, and the characters around her are well crafted. Well worth checking it out.
If you don't read Japanese, then the French translations by Kurowawa.fr are released much quicker than the English translations, and can be bought from online french booksellers.
