Yotsuba&!, Vol. 14, by Kiyohiko Azuma

2019-06-10-yotsuba-vol-14-by-kiyohiko-azuma

It's been years since I read a volume of Kiyohiko Azuma's Yotsuba&!, and even longer since I've reviewed one. Part of that is due to the author's extremely intermittent publishing schedule (there was a three-year gap between his last two books), but a lot of it was because it took me a long, loooong time to adjust to the editorial changes that took place between the fifth and sixth volumes...

Weekly Book Giveaway: Yotsuba&!, Vol. 14, by Kiyohiko Azuma

2019-06-10-weekly-book-giveaway-yotsuba-vol-14-by-kiyohiko-azuma

This week's Book Giveway is the 14th volume of Kiyohiko Azuma's universally beloved Yotsuba&!. It's taken me years, but I've finally adjusted (mostly) to the new publisher and their translation style, so I think I can give this a fair shake. A full review will follow shortly, and this giveaway will run through 7/5/19...

Yotsuba&! Vol. 1, by Kiyohiko Azuma

2005-12-21-yotsuba-vol-1-by-kiyohiko-azuma

Nothing much happens in the first three volumes of Kiyohiko Azuma’s Yotsuba&!. The series features a preschool-age heroine with green hair, boundless energy, and a blissfully innocent attitude. Entire chapters are devoted to things like moving a TV, doing the laundry, or visiting a department store...
