Yotsubato! Comic 10

About this product:

The 10th volume in Azuma Kiyohiko's brilliant work of "slice of life" child's-eye view manga is here. Yotsuba is the wide-eyed and naive protagonist, the little girl for whom everything is exciting and new, surrounded by a cast of supporting characters who seem to know that life is just a bit more enjoyable when reminded by her how wondrous the world really is. Called "Japan's answer to Calvin and Hobbes", Yotsubato! Is both easily accessible to beginning readers of Japanese (featuring furigana phonetic katakana characters next to all of the kanji, for easy reading and reference) and full of a gentle humor that transcends the language and pervades the simple style of Azuma's art. Each chapter is titled "Yotsuba and..." something, introducing us to Yotsuba's experience with a given event, concept or thing. Volume 10 contains chapters 63-69, and includes "Playing with Yotsuba", "Yotsuba and the Hot Cake", "Yotsuba and Jumbo", "Yotsuba and the Electronics Store", "Yotsuba and Home Appliances", "Yotsuba and the Lie", and "Yotsuba's Reunion", where she encounters one of the most famous cardboard robots in manga history for a second time. 200 pages of B6 manga, from Dengeki Comics.
