Excellent series!! Don't know why it took me so long to get into Yotsubato!
One of my favorite stories has to be the one where her dad and Jumbo have a badminton match face-off. It was so funny while they're arguing about it going out or in: Dad: "It went over the rope and then straight into the ground *drilling the shuttle cock into the ground* it went in at least 10cm!! Gettting it out was almost impossible!!!" Jumbo: "Shut up!! You're an idiot!! A stupid idiot!!!" Jam it back in, in the dark.

I started buying the manga as well after reading the scanslations. The overall quality of the book is much better of course, but I've started to feel some of the translation really doesn't seem to work. It could be because, to me, the translations done by A-M and others are more true to the original content of the manga, whereas ADV decided to change things so that the humor would be more obvious to western readers.
Stuff like: "Thank you, bishoujo Fuuka-chan!" being translated by ADV as "Thank you, Fuka! You're sooo attractive, Fuka!!" seems weird to say the least. The one that really gets to me though is in chapter 7, volume 1. When Fuuka asks Yotsuba what her father's job is, Yotsuba mistakenly tells her that her father is a "konyakuya" (a maker of traditional snacks) when in actuality he's a "honyakuka" (a translator). ADV changed it so that instead of a "translator", Yotsuba tells Fuuka that her father is a "train spotter". WTF?! How does that work?! Because later in chapter 24 I'm not sure how Fuuka and Koiwai's conversation in the supermarket will go, since Fuuka is still under the misbelief that he's a konyakuya.... Anyways, I'll be getting volume 3 in about a week's time. Does anyone know when ADV will be releasing volume 4? I can't even find any Yotsubato! manga listed on their website!!! How ya doing, buddy?

I just read ADV's volume 3 and I have a major gripe about it. In the final chapter (chapter 21) they've pretty much fucked up with the names and translation...... Spoiler:
The volume was funny but sometimes ADV screw us over.... This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I've heard a disturbing rumor (even more disturbing if it's true) that ADV have quietly dropped Yotsuba. Has anyone else heard this? I haven't really paid much attention to ADV Manga before Yostsuba, but I heard the same thing happened to Peacemaker Kurogane as well. Has ADV Manga always been this unreliable?
What are the chances of Yotsuba being picked up by someone else, like Viz or Tokyopop? :eyebrow: I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

By the way, I'm seriously missing out here. Better get chapters 33-36 before they disappear!!! I was speaking idiomatically.

Holy shit, Acer!! Those were AWESOME!!!! Where did you get them?!
All that just makes me wish more and more for an anime version to appear soon....... Oh please, please, please, please....... >_< What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

That Soramimi Yotsubato Remix is amazing! I didn't realize until watching it again that it's almost never the same!! I've played it so many times trying to see how many differences I could spot!!!
FELIPE NO

The link for chapter 41 doesn't work for me.....
Is it just me? What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Thanks, Qwarky!!
Yeah, this was a funny chapter. Yanda sure appears sparingly throughout the series. This is his what, only 2nd appearance in 6 volumes? Hope we get to see more of him. I anticipate a massive battle of wits later on. LOL!! Spoiler:
Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, just read ADV's volume 4 of the manga. Supposedly that in-joke concerning Koiwai's occupation comes back in the supermarket (remember in volume 1 they made Yotsuba tell Fuka that his job was a trainspotter?). Well, they totally ignored that and went with the original dialogue that meant he was mistaken to be a konyakuya. So, basically, they pretended the cock-up in volume 1 never happened, leaving readers who never read the scanslations to scratch their heads in confusion.
Man, why can't they take this shit seriously? They've still got grammatical errors and stuff as well.... There's nowhere I can't reach.

Ha ha, that was funny, "Something good turned into something bad..."!!
Also, for fans of the Yotsuba action figure, Revoltech is coming out with new figures to complement Yotsuba: Fuka (looks like no articulation though... ): And Danboro (Danboard)!!: Danboro has light-up eyes!! Holy cow!! This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

This chapter was okay. Ena's slip-up was funny though, and Yotsuba's confusion was priceless!
How ya doing, buddy?

Anyone know what's going on with Yotsuba? It's been 4-5 months since chapter 60 Yotsuba & Guests! was released.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
"This job would be great if it wasn't for the f@#$ing customers!!"
- Randall to Dante (Clerks) |
Yay! Chapter 61 has finally been released! Didn't even realize it!!
Wanna Fly? Spoiler:
lol, can't wait for the next chapter....wonder how long it's gonna take? There's nowhere I can't reach.

Part 2 of the Balloons story is out now:
Yotsuba chapter 62 ...plus more candy and heli fun! This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
"This job would be great if it wasn't for the f@#$ing customers!!"
- Randall to Dante (Clerks) |
Well, the chapters we find on 4chan are stuck at number 62, but it seems online manga sites are more up to date. Onemanga.com have upto chapter 65 so now I just read manga from there.
Chapter 64 with the pancakes was good, as was chapter 65 because of this: I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
"This job would be great if it wasn't for the f@#$ing customers!!"

Chapter 66 is out too.
The usual antics, though nothing special this time. I was speaking idiomatically.

Great, looks like Yen Press (who now own the North American license for Yotsubato! after ADV gave it up) has requested OneManga to remove the manga from their site...
...so no more Yotsuba until the official releases come out in book form. At least we shouldn't have to wait too long I guess. Volume 8 (featuring the cultural festival at Fuuka's school, the typhoon, the matsuri where everyone wears happi, and other stories) was released in April, and volume 9 (which I'm guessing will introduce Duralumin and show the hot-air balloons) will be out this December. How ya doing, buddy?

Ooh, now that sounds pretty good! Will check it out too!

Huh. MangaToshokan was forced to remove practically 70% of their manga due to pressure from publishers and whatnot. They've only very few manga left intact. I'm kinda' miffed because even stuff that hasn't been licensed in North America have been removed: stuff like City Hunter (licensed by Gutsoon Entertainment who then went bust) and Angel Heart are gone; even Highschool of the Dead is gone. (They've still got Nyan Koi! though).
They figure that only Chinese and Korean manhwa are still available... Apparently, OneManga pretty much still has most of their unlicensed stuff intact, and others... What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
"This job would be great if it wasn't for the f@#$ing customers!!"
- Randall to Dante (Clerks) |
Well, I guess I shouldn't really be surprised, what with MangaToshokan getting warnings about their manga and all....
But man, this sucks.... Can't believe that they're dropping everything, even the unlicensed and dead licensed manga too... Most amazing jew boots
