Imagine my surprise and delight when I spied these two volumes in a local bookstore!<\/p>\n<p>These volumes continue the story of Yotsuba, a young orphan from Okinawa; I believe these books play on the racism often found against non-Japanese in Japan. Yotsuba is naive and at times a bit dense, but sometimes of course brilliant. I think the drawings are simple yet take advantage of the comic book form to provide a nice setting for the action that is Yotsuba&#8217;s life.<\/p>\n<p>Volume 6 revolves around Yotsuba getting her first bicycle, and Volume 7 involves her quest to visit a ranch where she &#8220;meets&#8221; some sheep and milks a cow.<\/p>\n<p>I highly recommend all 7 of these volumes &#8211; I hope more translations are on the horizon!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"translate_block\" style=\"display: none;\">\n<hr class=\"translate_hr\" \/>\n<a class=\"translate_translate\" id=\"translate_button_post-3090\" lang=\"en\" xml:lang=\"en\" href=\"javascript:show_translate_popup('en', 'post', 3090);\"><span>Translate<\/span><\/a><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/google-ajax-translation\/transparent.gif?resize=16%2C16&#038;ssl=1\" id=\"translate_loading_post-3090\" class=\"translate_loading colorbox-3090\" style=\"display: none;\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Yotsuba&amp;!, Vol. 7 Author: Kiyohiko Azuma Paperback: 208 pages Publisher: Yen Press; 1 edition (December 15, 2009) Language: English ISBN-10: 0316073253 ISBN-13: 978-0316073257 Title: Yotsuba&amp;!, Vol. 6 Author: Kiyohiko Azuma Paperback: 208 pages Publisher: Yen Press (September 15, 2009) Language: English ISBN-10: 0316073245 ISBN-13: 978-0316073240 I completed the first 5 books a few months [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[151,654,289],"class_list":["post-3090","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-books","tag-japan","tag-yen-press","tag-yotsuba"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2w3Qj-NQ","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3090","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3090"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3090\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3090"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3090"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3090"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
