Yotsuba is (in my opinion) one of the cutest mangas in the whole world. A manga is a style of Japanese comic books and graphic novels, typically aimed at adults as well as children. It is read from right to left instead of our left to right. It is a slice-of-life story following a 5 year old girl and her adventures as she discovers the world around her,with the help of her father and neighbors. It is funny,beautifully made and sometimes emotional.
