| My Thoughts: |
Another completely fantastic entry. I think part of why I enjoy this so much is because Azuma is writing this to amuse his readers and not really bothering with an overarching plot. I can simply put up my mental feet and just be amused with no thought process needed. While I don’t want with every book I read, a couple of times a month is just perfect.
I find it so amusing that Jumbo is using Yotsuba to try to interact with one of the neighbor girls that he’s interested in. And every time it goes wrong and yet he won’t do it himself. It is also extremely understated and doesn’t try to take over. THAT would ruin this.
Azuma simply does a great job of showing every day things, like elephants, through the eyes of a child who has never seen them before. And there is no filter. Man, I love that, it’s hilarious. I think this picture encapsulates this most thoroughly.
This sounds attractive, even to a curmudgeon like me!

This aimed exactly at guys like us. After reading this, then you can show a stoic, stony face to the world and tell them to feth off.

I see Yotsuba just works perfectly for you! Piotrek tried to sell this manga to me for a long time, and who knows – I might finally break 😉

I don’t know, I’m not sure you could properly handle all the cuteness without getting cranky and grumpy.

I’m feeling the five-star love for this series from you. If this continues, I’m going to have to check a volume out. It’ll make a nice change from the Judge Dredd Case Files I’m currently immersed in. 😁

I have this feeling that the lowest this will go is 4 1/2. So you might want to just jump in and try a volume 😀

How this one keeps on getting all the stars in the world from you makes me want to dive into it sooner rather than later! Glad to see so much love! 😀

And this is only volume 3. Part of it is that I’m deliberately spacing my reads so I don’t squall all the cute into a much smaller space. I want to savor it 😀
I hope I can convince you to read this!

I love the fact that this works even on the second read through. Also that you still use Feth as a curse word🙂score another point Gaunt🤘🏻

For some reason, typing it out is just very satisfying. And after today’s post on profanity, I’d prefer to not have real cursing going on in my writing 🙂
