Yotsuba is invincible. "WAKAPPA!"

As for a one-sided romantic affair i've seen crushes that make much less since, at least its not Yanda... heh.

Hm-hm, indeed! I bow down to you, sir. Excellent points. Maybe I should just point out a reference to the first couple of chapters in Yotsubato! especially when Fuuka was trapped in the Kowai's bathroom door (I hope that's not a spoiler). Her expression and outbursts when confronted by Asagi seemed as if, in her mind, her actions implied something risque.

Iuno--Fuuka is just an oddball, in my mind. Maybe I'm the crazy one.

Cheers.

Dunno if you missed it or what, but we pretty much had this same discussion with Dee a few posts up if you'd like our views on it.

Ciao.

Wow--I'm so totally post-psychic.

Cheers.

I just picked this up off #lurk and wow! So far this is looking to be a great series!

Ciao.

yay, 43 is out: http://4chan.biz as usual.

Cheers.

Wow! Earlier than usual, or maybe it's just me. Thanks for the heads up!

Ciao.

I think its a bit later then usual, seeing as i normally get it a few days after the FMA translation. Then again that was a day or so early this year, so maybe it was right on time.

I thought this one seemed like 2 separate mini episodes for some reason. Anyway

Spoiler:

Yeah, this seemed to build up the next episode quite a bit, though i seriously wonder why Ena curled up in a ball, strange that. Not as strange as actually riding a mono-cycle anywhere, those things are hard to get to move. From my experience with the things (monocycles that is) Yotsubas going to get at least one chance to get somewhat injured in the next episode, especially considering shes still on training wheels on her bike.

Overall it was a good episode though like always.

Cheers.

Not really my favorite chapter, nothing really happened (or less than usual anyway).

Spoiler:

Apparently a unicycle trend started in Japan recently. I thought that the "curl up in a ball" thing was a translator-note worthy joke, assuming she read it wrong. =/ I thought Yotsuba's pose when she saw the building was funny, but I wasn't sure if there was something I wasn't getting.

I got the impression that this was one of the first translations this particular translator did, not that I'm complaining.

Ciao.

Spoiler:

I'm pretty sure that Yotsuba confused TOMARE with some like sounding verb that meant roll. I'm no Japanese expert, but I'm pretty sure that was the joke. I liked Miru-Miru's lying to Yotsuba about being a princess. She's even breaking school rules. I think she's even trying to set up Yotsuba for the injury. >_<

Anyone have any Grandma theories? I so no relation to Dad or Yotsuba altogether. Probably just a close and elderly friend that Yot attatched to.

Cheers.

Spoiler:

I tend to assume grandma as Mr Koiwai's mother. I tend to also assume thats the grandparents they used to live with before they moved to where they live now. (from chapter 3 about air conditioners) "Grandma didn't have one in her house huh. It was because grandpa hated them."

As for relationship between Yotsuba and Grandma, assuming the age she must have been adopted at... its quite expected that she would just consider Mr Koiwai's family as her family, just like she considers Mr Koiwai as her father. And having lived with them for some time, the connection is even stronger.



Oh, and actually, I somewhat wonder how much Yotsuba is really even aware of the adoption... even if she does know about it, it seems a rather small thing to her. Probably she hasn't figured it out yet, and no ones taken the time to explain it to her. I know a few kids that didn't know they were adopted tell they were well into their teens. Not like it really should matter too much in the current situation. Not unless one of her parents (who abandoned her) randomly shows up, but thats the kind of mellow drama crap i really am not expecting from this series.

Ciao.

Since the Yotsuba anime is inevitable, and since Azuma usually plays a key role in the sound development of his animes, does anyone have any ideas/theories of who'll make the voice act roster or wishlists for voice actors/seiyu's for the show?

I'm hoping they actually give the part of Yotsuba to a girl of similar age. Voice acting is such a big thing in Japan but it's so rare that they actually get a 30 year old woman who can decently play a 3-5 year old girl. It's even worse in Korea.

I'm thinking Yuki Matsuoka for Yotsuba--mainly because of her analogous work in Hale Nochi Guu and her close work with Azuma in Azumanga Daioh. She's one of my favorite actors--but even so, I'd much perfer the authentic sound of a young girl. She doesn't even have to be a brilliant actor--the role of Yotsuba is just one of those things you really can't mess up.

Cheers.

Most indeed there's just something authentic about a real young girls voice over an adult one, and on another note isnt Yuki M. the one who play the voice of Kuriko from Maburaho?

Ciao.

I'm not sure.

*checks wiki

Yep, I was wrong. She did work in Maburaho. Wow, she really gets around. You know, I think she'd make a perfect Mirua.

Cheers.

I can never seem to get 4bizchan to work for me. I don't know if I am doing something wrong, or if I just have horrible luck

Ciao.

Anyway to get the Rapidshare chapters? I'm trying to collect it all together for a friend (and myself, of course).

Cheers.

Maybe the address is wrong, it's http://4chan.biz/ then all you have to do is click on the chapter you want. I believe it'll give you a .zip file. If not, it may be .rar--which may mean that you'll have to download winRAR (which is free) but the latest version of zip should open .rar types too.

Let me know what chapters you need and I can host a link for a while.

Ciao.

I need chapters 27-38. Thanks, btw.

Cheers.

Azumanga Daioh was once a weekly manga Daioh Manga. But Yotsuba only comes out once or so every month. Does anyone know if Daioh has switched it's publication schedule since?

Cheers.

Well it's said Dengeki Daioh was originally a quarterly publication, then bimonthly, then monthly, and its name was changed to Monthly Comics Dengeki Daioh. I'm not sure at which point Azumanga was published, but it's no wonder if the schedule changed.

Ciao.

Do you know anything about how Azumanga Daioh was published? I'm under the impression that the comic strip was done weekly. That'd be amazing if one page of all four volumes of Azumanga took up one month of publication.

Cheers.

It's out on the 21st of each month.
Parts of the next chapter was "leaked", a day early.

Spoiler:

There's something about going to a farm with Jumbo, but they cancel because Yotsuba gets a fever. Kowai then drags her to the futon and makes her go to sleep. That was just 3-4 pages though.

Ciao.

A V1 translation has been released of chapter 44. Great chapter, not laugh out loud funny, but very charming again. Coffee milk is made with black cows!

http://staff.gamingforce.com/qwarky/...44_English.rar

Cheers.

It's out at 4chan.biz now too.

"Is that where there are cows and cows?!" <3

Ciao.

And yet another person has succumbed to the power that is Yotsuba! It's a very endearing series. Although downloading 26 chapters of it at work may not be the smartest thing to do . . .

The third chapter surprised me though. I've only read the chapter intro page but to see global warming as one of the chapters was unexpected.

Additional Spam:
Ok, just finished the third chapter . . . That was really funny. Turned a serious subject into a very funny situation. Gotta love Yotsuba. Thanks Qwarky for the links.

Cheers.
