Yotsuba! =]

Info

Yotsuba&! (よつばと! Yotsuba to!) is an ongoing Japanese comedy manga series by Kiyohiko Azuma, the creator of Azumanga Daioh(I'll talk about this later!). It is published in Japan by MediaWorks, now ASCII Media Works, in the monthly magazine Dengeki Daioh and collected in eight tankobon volumes as of August 2008. It depicts the everyday adventures of a young girl named Yotsuba as she learns about the world around her. Several characters in Yotsuba&! were previously featured in a one-shot manga called "Try! Try! Try!" The phrase Yotsuba to means "Yotsuba and," a fact reflected in the chapter titles, most of which take the form "Yotsuba and something."
The manga was licensed for English language distribution by ADV Manga, which released five volumes between 2005 and 2007. Volume six was supposed to have been released in February 2008, but was delayed indefinitely in order to focus on ADV's core business of anime. Yen Press announced at New York Comic Con 2009 that they acquired the North American license for the series, starting with volume six scheduled to be published in September 2009. As of February 2009, Yen Press does not yet have the rights to reprint the first five volumes but is looking to acquire them.

Yotsuba's Character

Yotsuba Koiwai is a cute, fun loving girl who is always getting into mischief.
Yotsuba's daily life is full of adventure. Yotsuba Koiwai is..... well.... a typical 5 year old, energetic, enthusiastic, amazed by everything, curious, and a bit odd – odd enough to be called strange by her father as well as ignorant of many things that even a five-year-old should know. Because of this, the most ordinary experience can become an adventure for her. As the days progress, she makes new friends and shows those around her that every day can be enjoyable.. In volume one Yotsuba's father is noted as saying "She can find happiness in anything, nothing in this world can get her down". This just reinstates that fact that she is a very happy girl. Yotsuba is also very forgetful, so much so that she has even forgotten her age a one point. Yotsuba is also noted as being a foreigner by the other people in the manga. When she first moves into her new house she is still confused by the moving process and tells Fuka that her house is "Way over there" while pointing to the left. Also Yotsuba does not know where she comes from but when people ask her, her response is "To the left".
Come on. How can you resist that face?!
For some reason Yotsuba is scared of all things that resemble a bullseye.... this is never explained but hilarious events ensue because of this.
