The funny adventures of Yotsuba Koiwai continue in Kiyohiko Azuma's second manga series of the precocious little girl living with her single parent father and the fun she has with the gentle hyperthyroid Jumbo and the Ayase family next door, including the mother and the three daughters, the tall and attractive blonde Asagi, Fuka, the responsible daughter who often ends up the butt of Yotsuba's antics, and Ena.Things start with Yotsuba, Ena, and her friend Miura going out drawing together, and the difficulty of being honest about how one draws (or can't draw) without hurting one's feelings. Ena is torn between her friendship with Miura and not wanting to hurt Yotsuba's feelings. In this case, it's the way Yotsuba draws, which is in outlines without detail. Hey, she's just a kid.Things get funnier afterwards. After watching a gangster movie on TV with her father and Jumbo, the ever impressionable Yotsuba takes her water pistol after blasting them both, then makes her way to the Ayase household, causing all sorts of silly mayhem and speaking the gangster talk, and blasting everyone in sight. "Ha ha ha ha ha! Water came outta your nose, Fuka!" she says.The most hilarious adventures involve Yotsuba and a magic marker. Yotsuba is minding the house while her father is taking a much needed nap. After drawing a picture of her father on her cardboard box of personal things, a.k.a. the Yotsubox, she includes a beard on the picture, and then, on her sleeping father!!! Her laughing expression upon her prank is just precious! Fearing she'll be scolded, she tries to erase it, but hey, they don't call'em magic markers for nothing, right? And since when is mayonnaise supposed to wipe off magic marker drawings?"CAKE CAKE!
