Sweet! I’ve got a friend that’s been waiting on the new Yotsuba forever! He’ll be ecstatic, I’m sure.

Thanks for pointing out the Asano books from Viz. I completely glossed over those when ordering and didn’t realize they were by Asano. I really enjoyed Solanin and will give his other work a blind buy.

Denmad — sounds really great! I love relationship-oriented stories (with added quirkiness!) so I think this will be right up my alley.

Dan — yup, Yotsuba&! is pure awesome. I’m so glad you enjoyed it and obviously the readers in your town must have very good taste!

Hi, Danielle!

I picked up Yotsuba&! based on your recommendation, and I love it!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more endearing protagonist than Yotsuba. It’s good to see that more of the series will be published here. It must be popular–all the volumes at my library system were both checked out and on reserve.

Moyashimon is really great, though you will find the “kawaii bacteria” part is actually bait… The real hook are all the people surrounding Tadayasu, and how complicated their relationships become.

All in all a pretty funny story, glad to see someone licensed it because most fan translators had lost interest due to all the technical agriculture terms that still appear in masse.
