Yotsuba&! (よつばと!Yotsuba to!) is the ongoing and current series by Kiyohiko Azuma. It is published in Japan by MediaWorks, now ASCII Media Works, in the monthly magazine Dengeki Daioh. In English, the manga was licensed for English distribution by ADV Manga, which released five volumes between 2005 and 2007. The manga follows the everyday adventures of a young girl named Yotsuba Koiwai as she learns about the world around her, guided by her father, the neighbors, and their friends. Some characters in the manga were previously featured in a manga called "Try! Try! Try!."
Volume six was supposed to have been released in February 2008 by ADV Media but was delayed indefinitely in order for them to focus on the company's core business of anime. Yen Press announced at New York Comic Con 2009 that they had acquired the North American license for the series and would be reprinting the first five volumes along with volume six in September 2009, continuing with later volumes.

Piotrek waxed lyrical about this manga before, many times, and for a long time I just nodded amiably and continued not to read it ;). I guess tastes change, though, and about a year or two ago I gave Yotsuba&! a try – and never regretted it. While it starts slowly and somewhat clumsily, it quickly finds a way to one’s heart. Admittedly, the first few tankobon volumes were just okay for me, and filled me with suspicious questions, such as “how a single male in early thirties can become an adoptive father of a four-year-old girl?” or “why are we seeing a spread of a teenage girl showing off her curves to a bunch of single guys twice her age?” Yup, I had my doubts. For a “realistic” manga, a slice-of-life comedy, this was going in strange directions.
I’m glad I persevered, though. Having read many more manga titles since I kind of got acquainted with (can’t say used, I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it) the objectification of female body in manga in general. I chalked it up to the specific
