Yotsuba & Cleaning!

Finally an update!

Daddy finally has a name(after 12 years!), Yotsuba helps Granny clean everything and Fuuka believes a paper plastic bag to be a cat.

Content-wise as good as always, but what's with the art? The characters look very...lazy. Everyone's drawn quite sloppily and simplistic. Especially Kowai and Fuuka look way different. The backgrounds are great as usual and Grandma is okay, but the others...I really hope, Azuma doesn't go the Togachi Way of manga publishing
In 9/10 cases, the worst thing about an anime is its fandom.

YOUSUKE!!!!YOUSUKE!!!

plastic bag moment was the best thing ever

YOUSUUUKE!!!!

I guess the art would change after a year, doesn't look much like what it was, but it's not really a problem

KOIWAI YOUSUKE??? THATS HIS NAME?

Yooo, the last two panels are giving me a eerie feeling, shall'nt overthink for now -3-.
gone bai bai

WAIT WHAT? They just revealed his name like that out of the blue?

And not even kidding, literally one page before it I was thinking if they're going to reveal it one of these days. Then it just happens.

Wow.

So happy it's finally out! Love Yotsuba's Grandma and that "showdown" thing she and Yotsuba had at the start lol. Fuuka is cute as always, and Koiwai finally has a name!

Don't like how abrupt the ending seemed though.

Maybe it's the art? The art style's been shifting for a while (eg. compare first chapter to saw few chapters ago). This chapter doesn't look particularly different from recent chapters to me.

Wow.


Grandma Kowai is the first character that actually is in the position to prefer his given name. Every other character either doesn't know the name(Fuuka-tachi), have no contact to another Kowai or are Yotsuba. It's just natural.

Yeah, Azumas Art is always developing(compare this chapter to his early doujins), but normally he's improving his style. This felt like a small step backwards, or more like drawn in a hurry. There are even some panels where there's incorrectly applied Screentones! That's a beginners mistake.

I find it hard to believe that I just read a new chapter, but I'm very happy about it

Fuuka's character design looks different from what I remember

There was a hint about buying a new house. Azuma might want to introduce some new neighbours in the future

Eyo we finally found out his name, only took 10+ years. Somehow the style seems unfamiliar, especially comparing the "poorly" drawn Yotsuba with the detailed grandma. The bag scene was funny tho.

So his name's Yousuke, huh? He'll always be daddy Koiwai to me.

The fact that they talked about buying a house made my stomach fall. I feel like the author is going to end the manga soon.

But at least there was a new chapter after nearly a year-long wait. Quality content, as always.

Wow... it's back...

I wouldn't say that Fuuka's design has changed, she is just making lots of comical/weird faces. And Yousuke has bedhair and tired eyes.

Precure referenced!!!!
