This definitely deserves all the stars. I laughed so many times while re-reading this that it wasn’t funny (ha, get it?).
I think the following page from this volume perfectly encapsulate Yotsuba:
I’ll talk about specifics in later volumes but for now, I just had fun reading this. If you’ve ever wondered about picking up a manga to try, this is the one. Even an old battle hardened, warhammer40K reader like myself finds it irresistibly cute.
Didn’t know that cute was in your wheelhouse, but this looks nice; reminds me of My Neighbours the Yamadas…

I have not seen that anime (or read the manga if it was). Was it light and fun?

Very much. Little episodes in the life of an ordinary family, very delicate. Light and fun like your online persona!

Well, once I’m done with Yotsuba (there’s 14 volumes) I might check out that. I really do like light, fluffy, slice of life manga.

Piotrek will surely comment on this – he’s a fan! And I must confess I still haven’t gotten around to reading it… 😅

Have to admit, I am not a huge fan of comedies, but there are noteworthy exceptions. This is one of them. Have you ever read/seen Urusei Yatsura? That for me is another exception!😊 Looking forward to more of your posts for this one! 😀

This is as much cute slice of life as humor. But if you read the first volume and do/don’t like it, you’ll have the same experience for the rest.

It is. I have a feeling that is going to be a refrain from me for most of this series 🙂

Battle hardened 40K Reader you say. Haahaaha that got me. Looks like I’ll be looking out for Yatsuba books in future.

Will definitely give it a try at some point. For it to get all the stars without a single niggle is impressive, I must say! 😀

I’m just glad vol 14 ended where it did so I don’t have to feel like I need to wait for any more.
