  <default_description>From the nutty mind of Kyohiko Azuma, creator of the hit manga Azumanga Daioh comes the story of the new kid in town - little Yotsuba, a green-haired and wide-eyed girl who doesn't have a clue... about anything! With no knowledge of the world around her, and an unnatural fear of air conditioners, Yotsuba has her new neighbors' heads spinning. Join the hilarious exploits of an out-of-this-world schoolgirl as her befuddled friends attempt to uncover the secrets behind this strange child in Yotsubato!</default_description>

She's both an amusement and an irritant to her neighbors who are three girls ranging in age from just a bit older than Yotsuba to colleg...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/18433368">more...</a>]]></body>

As a language learning tool, you really couldn't pick a better manga because the stories are so ordinary, so everyday, packed with regular words, few katakana cognates, and verbs you can actually use.

    <body><![CDATA[Oh my gosh this book and all the others (I have only read five) are simply ADORABLE! Yotsuba is an alien to all things, but that just makes her even more cute! The other characters are awesome just the same! This book will make you fall off your laughing and saw 'aw' so much you get yelled at!<br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76999403">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Ongoing read volumes 1-6<br/><br/>Funny manga about the ongoing adventures of a precocious and unique child.  By the same author as Azumanga Daioh (あずまんが大王) also a very funny manga.  I don't really like comedy manga so much but this one is great.<br/><br/><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yotsubato">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yotsubato</a>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74682186">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[So, I'm kinda waiting for the other shoe to drop on this one. Who the heck is this goofy kid, where did she come from, and why is she so spacey? But in the mean time, I'm cracking up. This is really slapstick humor, from cicadas in the house to getting stuck in the bathroom window. Fun to read.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It's fun, and because it's a graphic novel I find the slapstick stuff particularly funny.  I'm intrigued to find out why Yotsuba is sooo....different...and now I finished the book and it's still a mystery!!!  I guess it's motivating me to read the second book?  I'm glad I've finally read a manga.  I...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73781981">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Read it for English class. Graphic Novel Unit. Real funny. Yotsuba's real random. :D<br/>HURRAY FOR THE RANDOMNESS. I finished this the first day I got it. Jumbo's just jumbo-sized. UGH. Now for those entry things in that blue packet... Good thing is that I don't have to read bit by bit now. :D]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[SO CUTE!  This is the perfect series to read if you're in a bad mood - you can't feel anything but happy when you're reading it.  I concur with Jason: I wish Yotsuba was real!  Thank you Jason for your  recommendation of this series!]]></body>
