Yotsuba&!, Vol. 5 (Volume 5)

It almost motivates you to have your own child. Almost. Reading the antics of a young kid and single father back in pre-2010 time is such a whimsical and fantastic thing.

5 volumes of Yotsuba, can we ever get enough of her? Apparently the answer is no (and we are not even up to date since there are 7 volume released so far, 8th volume is not released since it is still being serialized). Volume 5 includes some of my favorite stories, Cardbo and Yanda just to name a few. In this volume we are introduced a new character named Yanda (who was mentioned back all the way at volume 1 for those who want to know) and he instantly becomes Yotsuba's enemy. This marks the first time you will see Yotsuba being very angry at one person and you don't want to miss this. Yet another slow release, but I am glad this was released, hopefully the next volume will come out within the range of 3-4 months (hopefully). As always, do yourself a favor and get this volume if you are fan of the series, want to try something new, or just tired of same old manga stories.

Sunshine and happiness fill the pages of this manga! The adorable life adventures of an adorable green-haired girl celebrating summer!

The Yotsuba&! series tells about a young girl who just moved into a new neighborhood. As with the other volumes, Yotsuba&!, Vol. 5 made me laugh. I find it fascinating how Yotsuba finds joy in the simplest of things. A few scenarios I enjoyed included Yotsuba meeting her father's junior, Yanda (hilarious encounter), Yotsuba going to the beach, and Yotsuba helping her neighbors with their chores. This series is good for children as well as adults.

Print quality seems nice, like all 4 previous volumes.

My 11 yr old daughter has fallen in love with the Yotsuba series and this book was no exception. These fun stories are episodic and can be read intermittently and do not have to be read all at one sitting. Great manga series for kids.

This has got to be up there in my top reads. The characters are so cute and the stories make me laugh every time. Highly suggest picking it up!

Wonderful delightful adventures of innocent Yotsuba as she enjoys daily life with gusto! The day visit to the beach was especially fun! Enjoy Everything indeed!
