Hot Air Balloons... Korean BBQ... Teddy Bears~, Dec 15 2010
By N. S. Michael - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Yotsuba&!, Vol. 9 (Paperback)
Yotsuba continues her cute adventures of discovery in this, the ninth volume of Yotsuba&.Here we start off with a rare bit of cattiness from Yotsuba's next door neighbor Ena, who doesn't like Yotsuba renaming her Teddy bears without permission... ah! So cute, her angry face~. This, of course, leads to Kowai-san taking Yotsuba to the mall (and subsequently a t-bear shoppe). As mentioned above, other story lines involve going to a Korean BBQ with Jumbo and Yanda (whom, while still hostile, Yotsuba seems to slowly be getting used to) and a day trip with the Ayase girls and Torako to a hot air balloon festival.
Little touches in one or two panels push things over the edge of greatness into perfection territory... such as the running gag concerning Yotsuba trying to get Fuka coffee, Asagi's glee at Yotsuba's clumsiness at play, and (my personal favorite) Fuka overhearing the Kowai's early morning Boxerman routine.
The art is the standard Azuma (author of Azumanga Daioh) greatness... though I do note that Torako isn't as exotic looking as normal. She usually has more dynamic poses... while she's not drawn as energetic as Asagi (who is often prone to very dramatic posing), she's just, well... not as COOL as she has been in previous entries. Maybe that's intentional, as she gets more used to life interacting with the entire Ayase clan and the Kowais (Yotsuba especially).
In the end, volume 9 is just as fun and cute as everything that has come before (barring last volume's typhoon chase down the street... first Yotsuba, then blank, then Asagi = gold!). I feel for Fuka as she studies for her entrance exams, and enjoy Jumbo's petty jealousies over Asagi when Yanda mentions her attractiveness. Yotsuba&, as always, is a lovely slice of life with a goofy kid in the center of it all, living and learning in her perpetual state of wonder.
I recommend a definite buy/read to all... this is manga at its best.

Slice of Life, which seems to be the author's speciality, Jan 1 2011

This review is from: Yotsuba&!, Vol. 9 (Paperback)
To look at any volume of Yotsuba, it seems like the writer/artist is someone who went to some kind of architectural design school, and these books are his thesis. Any building, any set piece where the characters are placed in, is exceptionally drawn, with what looks like perfect perspective and attention to detail. It looks amazing. The series overall seems directionless outside of the little contained stories within these volumes, and the growing characters and continuities that continue past those stories. Compare Yotsuba to the artist's other work, Azumanga Daioh, where the series had a definite ultimate direction (see the girls through their high school years), it's hard to foresee any conclusion to this series.With that being said, it's still really fun and enjoyable, with extreme emphasis on lighthearted. I've bought all nine volumes, and plan on seeing it through to the end, if it ever does, so the author's certainly doing something right. I'd even enjoy watching this transferred to an anime series, if it was handled as amazingly well as Azumanga Daioh: The Complete.

Continues to be funny and enjoyable, Dec 12 2010

This review is from: Yotsuba&!, Vol. 9 (Paperback)
To be honest, there's not much substantial to say here. The premise of this manga hasn't changed -- it's still following the adventures of young girl Yotsuba Koiwai -- and it's just as charming as ever. This is a great manga for all ages, and although I'd advise starting at the beginning, you wouldn't lose much starting here in the middle.
