Annotation:
Yotsuba moves with her adoptive father to a new town.  She experiences swings and air conditioners all for the first time.  Yotsuba becomes good friends with her neighbors, who help her explore her new world.

Personal Reaction:
This manga has a lot of humorous moments.  She did things that most people would know not to do, and it was presented in a funny way.  The main character also mixes up words, which adds to the humor.  The pictures are straight forward black and white drawings.
