Synopsis

While most people find the world mundane, five-year-old Yotsuba Koiwai sees it as a treasure trove of amazing bustle and wonderful places to explore. When she and her adoptive father, Yousuke, move to a new city, the energetic young girl naturally sets out to investigate the neighborhood on her own.

After a few incidents at the local park, the Koiwais become acquainted with their neighbors, the Ayase family. Their three daughters—mischievous college student Asagi, responsible high school student Fuuka, and kindhearted grade school student Ena—eventually all take a liking to Yotsuba and join in on her antics, despite their sheer ridicule.

From learning how to use a swing to figuring out how to stop global warming with air conditioners, Yotsuba's ability to infallibly find fun in everything, both amazes and annoys the people around her. Along with Yousuke, the Ayases, and friends she makes along the way, Yotsuba embarks on daily adventures, each one a step in her quest to enjoy the simple things in life.

ABSOLUTE PEAK!!!!!

Yotsuba&! is one the B-E-S-T mangas you'll ever read! It has a really simple concept, but it's delivered in the most cute yet realistic way possible!

Most chapters are a story on their own, but all of them are funny and adorable. They're simple yet they manage to teach you something and make you smile. All the characters are unique and their interactions are well made, especially between Yotsuba and Yanda! And the art is great, totally fits the atmosphere of the manga.

This artwork has a positive and optimistic message that our world needs the most right now. There's no space for negativity. Sometimes the ...

THE BEST SLICE OF LIFE WORK!

Simply a work that makes anyone happy, this is so true that at the time I am writing this review, my anime list does not have a single negative or mixed review so far, they are all positive, of course mine will be no different!

Yotsuba to is a simple work with many happy moments, in my opinion this work portrays very well the world in the head of a child who just wants to play and have fun. Even with the fact that Yotsuba is adopted, this does not affect her relationship with her father in any way. I like ...

Are we deadass right now?

I'm not quite the intended audience for this manga, I find slice of life horribly boring (too shounen brained as I've heard it put) and I despise children, but despite my better judgement I gave this manga a shot because of its absurdly high rating on MAL. After reading four volumes of this I think I can safely say Yotsuba is not for me.

I might just be some sort of grinch who hates sunshine and joy, but Yotsuba just being happy and enjoying herself wasn't enough to keep me coming back, especially when the humor felt very one note and ...
