Crossposted at WordPress, Blogspot & Librarything by Bookstooge’s Exalted Permission Title: Yotsuba&! #14 Series: Yotsuba&! Author: Kiyohiko Azuma Rating: 4 of 5 Stars Genre: Manga Pages: 224 Format: Paperback Copy Synopsis: Yotsuba has a ton of adventures. She learns to make bead necklaces and helps her daddy run his business. She also gets a princess dress from one of her neighbors and goes to yoga. Then the big adventure is when she and daddy go to Tokyo. They eat cotton candy and crepes and see aliens in the park! Then they meet daddy's sister who gives them a car. They go to a fancy restaurant which has big pans of pudding. Yotsuba is happy. My Thoughts: Well, it's been 3 years since I read the previous volume. Even longer than the wait between 12 and 13. I think this is done. If it is done, this was a great way to end things. Yotsuba has tons of little adventures, is as cute and bold as always and ends the book in a car on a highway than can go “anywhere”. Unlimited possibilities, isn't that what childhood should be? I read my review for Vol. 13 and many of the same things apply. This wasn't funny even while it was super cute. I didn't have a problem with that this time around, probably because it's been so long since I've read any Yotsuba&! that I kind of forgot it started out as humorous and not just cute. This definitely was cuteness overload, in a good way. The manga-ka definitely nails the whole cute kid thing spot on, probably to the idealization level. Not having any kids of our own, I can't tell. But I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to take your cues for real life from a manga, so I bet I'm safe. I just checked and there have been 4 more chapters released between 2018 and now in the monthly magazine Yotsuba&! is in. This volume has 7 chapters, so we're talking at least another year or 2 before there is enough material for another tankoubon. I'm ok with stopping this now. It ends on a great note and with no over-arching plot, there are no loose ends to tie up. ★★★★☆ I've been reading this out loud to my daughter for years, even this week when she was home for her first break from her first year of college. We burst out laughing together repeatedly at the cuteness of Yotsuba's amazing perspective on the world. Sure, this is pretty gentle humor, with the big adventure of this volume being an outing to Tokyo, but I'd be hard pressed to think of a series that has consistently given me as much joy as this one.

From Wikipedia
After helping Koiwai move a new table upstairs, Jumbo presents Yotsuba with a set of beads; an intense necklace-making session ensues for the trio. Miss Stake invites Fuuka and Yotsuba to join her for a free trial session of yoga; as the older girls struggle, Yotsuba exhibits astonishing flexibility. Yotsuba reads the story of Cinderella; inspired, she ties ribbons to her hair and is infuriated when Koiwai fails to see her fancy long hair. Going next door, Asagi immediately recognizes her as a princess and makes a fancy dress for Yotsuba using plastic trash bags; after she returns home for her bead necklace, Koiwai makes up for his earlier faux pas by asking the self-proclaimed Princess Zapunzel for a dance. The day before their trip to Tokyo, Yotsuba asks her neighbors and friends for places to go; Mother Ayase suggests Ginza, Asagi suggests Shibuya and Shinjuku, Ena suggests Tokyo Tower, and Fuuka suggests Harajuku specifically to eat crepes, which she calls stylish. Torako suggests Daikanyama but then gloomily asserts there are no fun places for kids in Tokyo. To prepare for their trip, Koiwai buys a smartphone and Yotsuba accompanies him to buy a sushi dinner at the market. Jumbo and Yanda visit later that evening to help Koiwai with his new phone and ask Yotsuba where she would like to visit when they arrive in Tokyo. At the train station, Yotsuba helps Koiwai buy a ticket and they board a train to Ikebukuro Station, where they transfer to the JR East Yamanote Line. The pair stop in Harajuku for cotton candy and crepes, and then Koiwai gets a text message from his sister Koharuko suggesting they all meet in Yoyogi Park. At the park, Yotsuba spies on three women dressed as aliens, who she successfully convinces to not destroy the earth. Koharuko reminds Yotsuba they traveled to Tokyo to pick up Koiwai's new car, a Mini convertible, and takes them to a buffet at a luxury hotel restaurant for lunch. After a filling meal, Yotsuba and Koiwai set off for the highway in their new car.
My Thoughts:
When I read this a year and a half ago, I went into it with the expectations of it being funny. With this re-read of the whole series, I think that “cute” is much more fitting than any humorous description.
The backstory of the following scene is that Yotsuba and her dad have gone to Tokyo to pick up a car from Yotsuba's aunt and they meet in a park. Yotsuba sees some women dressed up as aliens and stares at them from behind a tree. One of the girls decides it would be fun to chase Yotsuba and she runs back to her dad and aunt, where her aunt tells her that she needs to ask the aliens to not destroy the earth.
There is another volume after this one, but it won't be coming to american audiences until September of this year. That's according to Yen Press, the publishers of the english version:
