Recently got vol. 6 (and only one more chapter to read).

Lots of fun (as usual). Finally we get confirmation of Yotsuba’s age — she claims to be 6, but her father says that she is still only 5. She gets her first bicycle — and gets grounded for following Fuuka to school (and disappearing from home without any warning).

A very family friendly series.

Yotsuba is senien!!!
Holy McDonald Toys! I never noticed all my friends (which are all girls) say when the next one will come out. It so doesn’t appeal to pervy adults! My dad read it saying it’s right for my age and my friend’s too. My guess is that the author didn’t want for that to happen just thought “I’ll do a little kid’s comic ha ha ….it’ll be like so popular!” SEE I PROVED IT!!!

[...] been a while since I read Yotsuba&! Volume 2. There’s just something about reading stalled/canceled series that I don’t like. But [...]

1. The ADV website hasn’t been updated since like 2002….
2. The fact he thinks it’s aimed at older men comes from the fact that it’s demographic is seinen. Not to mention most series never appeal to JUST their demographic(ie: Naruto is shonen but it appeals to like…boys and girls, infact there might be more girls reading it in the US.)

Oh and I’m just wondering, but is Azumanga Daioh for pervy men or nostalgic men? (Though I don’t think many men will remember freaking out about their breasts.^_^’)

How strange. We have the first five Japanese volumes — and they use furigana extensively. There is some occasional hand-written text — and if this consists of kanji, it gets no furigana.

Curiously, Yotsuba’s utterances tend to use hiragana — where the remarks of other characters saying the same words are more likely to use kanji.

BTW — what is your basis for assuming this is aimed at adult males — as opposed to a fairly wide general audience (both male and female). (Just wondering).

[...] Hung’s been raving about these. Picked up the first volume to give it a try, getting the other 2 was pretty much a no-brainer. Yes, it’s that good. I actually lent them to my sister for a bit — note: she had never read manga before — and she came back demanding the next volume, which by the looks of things could very well be delayed a while.

shirokiryuu: I just picked up Angelic Days Volume 2 at the bookstore today, so it’s STILL being published. If they had done it only because it was an extra on the box set, I suspect Vol 1 would’ve been the end of it.

With luck, Yotsuba’s not been completely abandoned. Otherwise, we’ll have to wait for Del Rey to ride in for the rescue. Heck, they’re even doing Air Gear.

Coincidenty i just read this volume today.

About Angelic Days, i think ADV manga only released it because it was an extra on the Evangelion box set.
