The best day is always today. Kiyohiko Azuma is returning with his series “Yotsuba&!” to make 2021 a little better and teach us how every day can be enjoyable.
As we tag along with the everyday life of Yotsuba, the clumsy and ignorant little five-year-old girl, it takes us back to our roots and allows us to relive our adventurous minuscule world as a five-year-old.
KADOKAWA will publish the long-awaited 15th volume of “Yotsuba&!” on February 27, 2021, after nearly three years since the last volume was shipped.
Happy new year.

The manga has a very abrupt and stretched out the schedule, as its 14 volume was also released 2 years and five months after its 13th volume.
Regardless, Yotsuba&! is a gem among the wide-spread ocean of slice-of-life manga and has a very dedicated fanbase.
KADOKAWA previously confirmed that, when the 14th volume of the manga was released, it had printed 13.7 million copies in Japan itself.
The manga has been translated into 13 languages in 24 countries and has sold around three million copies abroad.
The series does not have a plot continuity; it focuses on the stories of Yotsuba’s daily voyage of discovery.
And I can assure you, it is very gratifying to be there with Yotsuba in all of her adventurous and enjoyable moments in her journey to discover new things.
The innocent perspective of a little kid without any care in the world will definitely make you realize how fun and sometimes meaningless things are in your daily life!
Although the comedy in the manga is not the type that will make you burst into laughter, a wide smile will stay on your face from the beginning till the end of your read.
Despite its popularity and success, Azuma has no plans for it to get animated as he claims that the art style and stories of Yotsuba&! are not suited for animation.
About Yotsuba&!
Yotsuba&! is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Kiyohiko Azuma. It has been serialized in the monthly magazine Dengeki Daioh by ASCII Media Works since March 2003.
It depicts the everyday adventures of a young girl named Yotsuba as she learns about the world around her, guided by her adopted father, their neighbors, and their friends. Yotsuba’s daily life is full of adventure.
She is energetic, curious, and a bit odd—odd enough to be called strange by her father as well as ignorant of many things that even a five-year-old should know.
