Even though it is set in contemporary suburban Japan, there are still so many elements that resonate with my childhood in Kawasaki more than 45 years ago. And what I find wonderful is that a couple of third grade boys at the small Catholic school where I'm the librarian have begged me for more Yotsuba&! (I donated the first volume to the library a year ago.) I've promised them more, so I better look for it in the local bookstore - school starts in less than a month!

However, if ADV is on the skids, I hope that whatever Japanese company licenses the property gives the rights to some other publisher ASAP. Vol 6 is, what, a year off schedule?
