Manga 104 Yotsuba To Userrecs

Well, what's not similar? They are made by the same mangaka. They are both slice-of-life stories featuring young girls... doing strange, stupid, random, but funny things. And doesn't Chiyo-chan remind you of Yotsuba? (Facial wise... they have completely different... IQ points...) 

Same author and same feel~ Both have cute characters and good laughs. 

An obvious read for fans of the Azugirls. While Yotsuba doesn't have Osaka, it does have a nice flow and whatnot from not being in the 4-koma format. It also features the titular character of Yotsuba, who is slightly reminiscent of Chiyo, mixed with all the curiosity of a five year old.  

They are both written by the same author, Kiyohiko Azuma, are slice-of-life style manga's, are mostly centered around female characters, and have no real deep plot to them, while still being an entertaining and adorable read. 

Both of these series are written by Kiyohiko Azuma, though "Azumanga Daioh" is generally a yonkoma-style manga (four-panel) and "Yotsubato!"/"Yotsuba&!" is not. Both are slice of life, cute and generally innocent. They are comical and rarely ever get very serious or romantic, but the characters are memorable and fun. "Azumanga Daioh" has already ended and "Yotsubato!" is still being written.  

This is actually very simple. They are both similar, comedic and childish. They both are also from the same mangaka. Yotsuba& is maybe a little more childish than Azumanga Daioh. They are both very easy and quick to read. :3 

While pretty much a given, Azumanga Daioh and Yotsuba to! encapsulate the fun in the mundane, brimming with innocence from writer Kiyohiko Azuma. If you love either of these series, then you'll definitely enjoy the other. 

- Same author - Focuses on comedy - But one is aimed at older audiences and the other is suitable for all ages - Both develop good character relations and interactions 

Do you like Kiyohiko Azuma? His early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Azumanga Daioh came out in '99, I think he really came into his own, commercially and artistically. The whole series has a clear timing, eccentric sense of humor, and a new sheen of slice of life genre that really gives the manga a big boost. He's been compared to Arawi Keichii, but I think Azuma has a far more lighthearted sense of humor. In '03, Azuma released this, Yotsubato, his most accomplished manga series that is still ongoing to this day. I think that manga is his undisputed masterpiece, a manga so comforting, most people probably don't care about the plot continuity. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the author himself.  

Azumanga Daioh and Yotsuba to! both share the same situational comedy style of humor that you commonly find in your usual slice of life 4-koma manga series, while also having Kiyohiko Azuma's absurd and unique art style that makes the jokes land in both series land a lot harder and feel so much more charming. Both series share the fact that they're very easy to recommend and get into, even to anime watchers who would probably prefer to watch something over reading something. If I were to get an anime fan to start reading manga, and they already like the Azumanga Daioh anime, I would recommend them the Azumanga Daioh manga and then Yotsuba right after because of how easy Azuma's paneling in both works' is to follow, how similar the eccentric humor and familiar charm is, and the unique funny looking art style.  

Made by the same manga artist 

same author but personally i like yotsuba more yipyip 

Similar radical-thinking female protagonist, plot development, and 4koma style 

If you're a fan of Yotsubato you should definitely definitely read Ryushika Ryushika, the same type of comedy and an adorable main character who is discovering the world. 

little girls who like to discover the world everyday by their ways, Yotsuba&! is a bit funnier. Ryuushika Ryuushika has a great art, and fully colored If you wanted to read Youtsuba@! by Abe, Yoshitoshi's way, I recommend you Ryuushika Ryuushika 

About a little girl who always wants to know about everything and discover new things around her, in her daily life. She mostly interacts with her family and neighbour (but in Yotsuba&! she also interacts with her father's friends). Both manga are full are comedy. 

Yotsuba&! and Ryuushika Ryuushika follow the every day adventures of two sweet, imaginative girls, that look at their surroundings in a new light. They are appealing with their clever, witty dialogue that put a spin on the lifes everyday occurrences. 

Adorable episodical stories about a curious child with a vivid imagination. 

Both series revolve around the daily thoughts and activities of a young girl and her family/friends. Often providing an innocent, humorous, yet interesting take on things people may take for granted, such as weather, foods, animals, and more. 

This manga centers around a young girl, Ryushika, and her family and the daily shenanigans she gets up to because of her extensive and colorful imagination, just like Yotsuba. It's a sweet slice of life with comedic elements to it but focuses mainly on Ryushika and her siblings, instead of a parents (though they appear in the story too).  

Comedy manga about taking care of a rather special and very cute girl as a parent. While Yotsubato is more slice of life, Spy x Family has some action elements. 

Both have a daughter that get up to all sort of shenanigans both show the struggles and joy of raising a girl both have comedy that hit every chapter  

Both are very wholesome manga. The concept of this story really hooked me in, and the adorable interactions of the characters. It also has comedic points in it. Definitely worth a read on those who like slice of life, or maybe even romance. 

Both revolve around pesky children who wreak havoc on those around them. If you want to focus on fellowship and family life, both are excellent mediums to read. 

In my opinion, Anya is the best part of Spy x Family - largely because she reminds me of Yotsuba! While Yotsuba is a lot more energetic than Anya, both of them are delightful little weirdos whose antics always put a smile on my face. 

Both mangas are about a cute child. The parents have problems raising the child and the story is told in a beautiful and funny way.  

Both focus on a cute young girl and also their journey in the world. 

Nicola Traveling Around the Demons' World and Yotsuba&! are two age-appropriate manga centered a quirky little human girl accompanied by the adult that she travels with. The art is extremely well drawn and detailed, and each chapter feels like you're reliving a bit of your childhood again as she learns more about the world. Nicola's story is more based on fantasy than on regular ol' slice of life unlike Yotsuba's story, though. 

Both are cute, wholesome and carefree. Similar vibes, but Nicola has a bit more plot. For those who enjoy Yotsuba, this is a hidden gem 

Both involves a young girl without too much feminine clothing going on wholesome chaptersodic journeys on a world that is seen as mysterious to the main character  

They both have two energetic little girls and are about the community they live in. 

Simple slice of life stories. Both series consist of a small cast of characters including a young girl who is energetic, curious, and outgoing. Their personalities are similar and is often on the look out to discover new things in their lives. The relationship they develop with characters throughout their perspective stories is also something to take notice of. As a slice of life show, both series have a lot of realism and although lacks a complex story, makes it up with its unique comedy. I recommend both series for anyone interested looking for fun and laughter, especially those who are keen on checking out slice of life.  

Although the plots are not very similar to each other, the feel is very alike. They both have cute kids that are super duper funny and many other similarities. Yotsuba is longer by a lot though but, at the time I am writing this, there are 25 chapters of Barakamon and that is longer than a lot of other manga. After reading all the available chapters I was left wanting for more. 

It was a light and fun to read story! Both of them have a child main character that are living the best of their life as a child and doing daily activities that mostly just lots of playing. Reading it feels like unleashing our inner child and it feels nostalgic! 

Same style: adventures of everyday life (of 5-year-old girl and witch) with simple character art and beautiful backgrounds. 

Incredibly relaxing slice-of-life + comedy manga in which most chapters consist of a single day and have much of the same innocent humor of discovering new things. Both share a diverse cast spanning different age groups, as well as due to both occurring in small towns there is a sense of community and family in the cast as most people know each other. Flying Witch has elements of magic/supernatural, but Yotsuba handles even day to day activities like cleaning as magical experiences so it leads to the same types of experiences in the two. 

both are slice of life manga filled with comedy, both mc learn something they didn't know before, both have detailed art, and both are heartwarming. 

How does a view of the world of a 5-year old match the world of Alpha and Kokone? Discovery. You couldn't expect the discovery of the world by a 5-year old to be as peaceful and calm as YKK, but there are moments (like the astronomy) where things just work out right. There's more humor in Yotsuba, the artwork is of a very good quality, and the characters around her are well crafted. Well worth checking it out. If you don't read Japanese, then the French translations by Kurowawa.fr are released much quicker than the English translations, and can be bought from online french booksellers.  

Unbelievably cute slice of life mangas. Although for different reasons, since Yotsubato is more comedy and YKK is just life story-telling. 

Both are lighthearted slice of life series with a calm mood and serene atmosphere. They provide insight on everyday experiences without complex storytelling but retains its realism. The main characters from both series can be relatable and often interesting to see what their daily interests are. If you're the type of fan who is interested in a slice of life series with honesty and elegance, then I recommend these two titles.  

Both have a simple vibe and a story about a father taking care of his daughter 

Before Chapter 25, there are quite a few similarities between Usagi Drop and Yotsuba&! - namely, the fact that both of these mangas feature a grown man raising a child on their own. Even then, their approaches do have some important differences, namely the fact that Yotsuba&! is primarily told from the perspective of the child whilst Usagi Drop is told from the perspective of the parent. I like to think of Yotsuba&! as a shining example of a "feel-good" read in that this is the kind of manga you'll want to pick up if you're feeling down and you need a mood booster. There's something rather reinvigorating to be found whilst reading the exploits of a toddler and the adults around her as she takes such delight with the mundane. It's impossible to read this manga without grinning or laughing at least once... you know, unless you're the kind of person who hates anything remotely light-hearted. Usagi Drop on the other hand shows a man without any experience with children trying to raise a young girl that nobody else wants to raise because she's a bastard child. Don't let this fool you though, because Usagi Drop is quite an endearing and light-hearted read. It shows Daikichi learning about what it takes to be a good parent and we get some rather nice characters along the way like Yukari and Kouki. Now this is where we discuss how your mileage will definitely vary between the two. Yotsuba&! has been publishing irregularly for 10+ years and Kiyohiko Azuma did state that he has no intentions of ending Yotsuba&! any time soon. The overall approach to the manga is incredibly SOL-oriented to the point where each chapter is more or less a self-contained story. Is there continuity in Yotsuba&!? Of course! Events from past chapters are referenced every now and then, but that still doesn't change the fact that the manga has a sort of episodic structure to it. Character development isn't one of Yotsuba&!'s strong suits either as in the 10+ years that this manga's been publishing, virtually every character is more or less identical to when they started out. There have been minor changes over time, don't get me wrong but there hasn't been anything substantial in terms of development that's worth talking about. Yeah... Yotsuba&! isn't the kind of manga you'd want to read if you're after an intricate plot with multi-faceted individuals. The same can't exactly be said about Usagi Drop. Whilst the first ~24 chapters are certainly very similar to how Yotsuba&!'s always been, the remaining chapters are more or less an entirely different beast altogether. A time skip occurs where Rin ends up a teenager and Daikichi's well into his late 40s/early 50s and by this point, Usagi Drop gets bizarre as it covers Rin's growing [i]romantic[/i] feelings for Daikichi. Yeah... to this day, I question what the fuck Yumi Unita was on when she thought this up. I would say that you could only focus on the first ~24 or so chapters but the problem is that Usagi Drop is 62 chapters long so all this Rin/Daikichi romance crap goes on for ~60% of the manga's run. It's kinda hard to NOT look past this bullshit when it takes up the majority of the manga's runtime. Utlimately, I prefer Yotsuba&! but Usagi Drop isn't without merit. Just do yourself a favour and don't read past Chapter 24 of Usagi Drop and you should be good. Anyway, that's all for now! Peace :)  

Both are laid-back manga with relatively young male characters trying to raise little girls. While Yotsubato! is told more from the child's (Yotsuba's) point of view, Usagi Drop is told more from the dad's (Daikichi's) point of view. Usagi Drop probably has a more calm feel than Yotsubato!, and is a touch more dramatic. But it's still very cute with a nice art style. (Warning: If you read Usagi Drop, stop after volume 7. Yes, that's not very long, but trust me, the plot starts to go downhill in volume 8.)  

Both manga are comedic slice of lives that showcase the joy and innocence of childhood; with their child characters getting into all kinds of mischief. If you enjoy one for its humour, relaxation and depiction of childhood you'll definitely love the other. 

Similar feel and similar characters 

Iyashikei comedies that center around the hilarious and heartwarming antics of young girls. Both have beautiful and incredibly thoughtful art styles that put a surprising amount of care into the minor details and backgrounds. They also use both visual and language-based comedy to great effect. Neither of them have a strong plot, but the character writing is good enough to keep you constantly engaged! 

Very strong in the slice of life theme, neither has any real story, yet is better than many others with. Both Yotsuba and Akari see the world in a very innocent way, both very enjoyable. Yotsuba&! is more comedy oriented than Aria, though. 

The genre of both is best described as slice-of-life. Both deal with the generally calm and relaxing details of a character's everyday existence. The chief similarity between Yotsuba and Akari is that both are eternal optimists who find wonder in everything they experience. Akari is able to reflect in a more sophisticated way on the wonders she discovers, but both characters' initial reactions are often comical in their intensity. 

There is a strong feeling of slice of life in both Aria and Yotsubato. Both series has an elegant atmosphere and details everyday experiences at its finest through storytelling. Whether it's indoors or out in the community, there is elegance with its background settings. Both series' main characters can also be very fun to get attached to because of their diverse personalities. Anyone who wants a bite out of slice of life must seek these two series out. In my eyes, it doesn't get more classic than this. 

Shirogane no Nina and Yotsubato are classic slice of life stories. The main female protagonist have similar personalities and is always curious about the world around them. Through interactions with other character, they learn more about life and its fundamentals. Both series lack a general story/arc but makes it up for its charming comedy. The dialogues also convey itself naturally with articulate standards of realism. I recommend both series for anyone interested in a charming slice of life of the coming ages. 

Nina often feels like an older version of Yotsuba. The two manga have similar a atmosphere, although the other characters in Shirogane no Nina get a fair amount of focus, while Yotsubato is mostly focused on Yotsuba. 

Both titles have a similar artstyle and comedic voice. Also both slice of life. 

Similar setting and premise, that is, laid-out stories on a small town about the people who live there and how the heroine influences on their lives, but more focused on school shenanigans, reflecting on the past, the road to adulthood, a bit of romance, and everyday life mysteries (with a lot of detective trivia). 

Both hilarious manga about a young girl who is living with a single father. Both also include a large cast of funny/interesting characters, who are part of the everyday life of the main character.  

Both feature father and daughter relationships, an ample dash of humor, and a gentle atmosphere. 

My Girl and Yotsuba to! They are stories about girls living with their single dads, both girls in both stories are very cute and look for happiness where they can, but My Girl is a more emotional and dramatic manga, while Yotsuba to! It is a comedy. 

Childcare theme, while Yotsuba has an increasing amount of comedy panels (which "My Girl" kinda lacked), Yotsuba is still missing drama, which is totally fine, just read "My Girl" to cover up for that dissatisfaction. 

Children and child-like girls under the care of an older relative. Umaru and Yotsuba are childish characters that cause mischief for their caretakers making their lives troublesome but interesting. While Umaru is older than Yotsuba they both share a carefree and vibrant personality. The themes are also different with Himouto! Umaru-chan using Otaku culture such as video games and anime/manga in its humor, while Yotsuba follows a more general slice of life theme and a child's curiosity. Though the themes may be different the implementation and execution of said themes are handled in a similar way. Overall they are both enjoyable slice of life manga sharing a child/parent relationship and in Himouto! Umaru-chan's case, younger sister/older brother.  

Cute kids doing cute antics. Two titles that will draw laughs and sighs as they celebrate the innocence, evanescence and nostalgia of childhood. 

similar laidback SOL comedy about a man raising his daughter, both have realistic art styles, which reflects the realistic characters, I'd say if you liked the art, humor, and general feel of Yotsuba you'll enjoy Sen to Man (except Yotsuba's reaction faces are way better) main difference is that the daughter in Sen to Man is already in Junior High, so she acts more independent and grumpy (like a real teenager) 

Both mangas are lovely slice of life. Also, both mangas features a sweet little girl who explores the world through her own steps. If you liked one of these mangas, you will surely like the other one too ♥ 

Both series represent slice of life with creative fun and a lighthearted atmosphere. Although they deal with a different premise, both series consist of a wonderful cast of characters with sincere comedy. The every day events and interactions these characters formulate moments that you can't help but smile. Shinryaku Ika Musume adapts more fantasy tropes while Yotsubato takes on a realistic route with its direction. Recommended for fans of slice of life. 

Both feature comedy shorts and weird characters guaranteed to make you laugh.  

both are about 5 year old children who seem to do some mischievous acts and get into trouble. the titular characters are usually very afraid of their parent(s) after they do something wrong.
