5th day of Manga Advent Calendar 2015


5th day of Manga Advent Calendar 2015
Hello everyone, here is the fifth day of Manga Advent Calendar 2015.Now as I said as yesterday’s hint that the manga is the story of me as a weird child when I moved to a new town and all the strange antics I got up to. Today’s manga is Yotsuba&!
I remember when I bought this manga this year, it was a day when I was abandoned by people who have used to call my friends. As I was looking at the bookshelves they left the shop and got the first bus home whilst I was examining the books. I have first I was very panicked to forget where they were but after I figured out what happened I didn’t really care. I needed something to pick my spirits up as I was very upset at the time. I was recommended this book as its light-hearted nature would make anybody smile, it did make me smile. I always refer to this material whenever I am sad or upset as it has the habit of making me feel better about myself in the fun kind we which a cat would make you feel better but just simply rubbing its belly.
The story of Yotsuba&! Is extremely simple a young girl called Yotsuba Koiwai and her father moved to a new city and encounter many interesting individuals. The main story is teaching Yotsuba about the world around her, as she is only five years old. It is basically manga about the daily life of Yotsuba. It’s quite simple but it’s very easy to enjoy.
I really enjoy this story because of its pure simplicity within it, each and every chapter is its individual set story with a beginning and end in a conclusion so technically you could read any chapter out of context and it would still make sense as an individual story. I personally believe Yotsuba is the cutest five-year-old anime character I have ever seen and her inquisitive nature and the way she interacts with the world remains me of myself when I was younger. I was a very quizzical child always asking questions such as “why is sky blue?” or “what is really at the end of the rainbow?” And nobody really was able to answer my question at the time, so I sought out knowledge within books. I used to have a large stock of science and history books within my room so that I was adequately prepared for when I had a strange question. I’ve always had the enquiry for new things, and if I have the chance to try something new I always tried out at least once in order to have a reason if I should or should not do it again. Yotsuba in my opinion is what I want to be when it comes to approaching a new situation instead of being an outsider. I hope I will be much more involved in vibrant person in the New Year that is why I chose this manga to be part of my Manga Advent calendar.

 
I shall see you guys tomorrow for the 6th day of the Manga Advent Calendar, here is this hint for today. The manga I will be looking into tomorrow is a mystery oriented manga that has many twists and turns and a very deep plot with many confusing elements but once you get further and further down the rabbit hole you understand the story much clearer than from the beginning.


Bye for now
