== Yotsuba & Da Vinci ==

Literary magazine [[:ja:ダ・ヴィンチ|Da Vinci]] has a [http://web-davinci.jp/contents/sp1/ special feature] on Yotsuba&! in this month's issue, including an interview with [[Kiyohiko Azuma|Azuma-sensei]] (a pretty rare occurrence, I believe). Possibly an interesting source for this article? I tried to pick up a copy at my local Japanese library, but it was sold out already. [[User:Bikasuishin|Bikasuishin]] ([[User talk:Bikasuishin|talk]]) 16:03, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
:Sounds like a good source. I say go for it if you can snag a copy.--[[User:SeizureDog|SeizureDog]] ([[User talk:SeizureDog|talk]]) 16:10, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
: Yes, ''definitely'' a good source. If anyone can snag and use it, that would be a big help. —[[User:Quasirandom|Quasirandom]] ([[User talk:Quasirandom|talk]]) 17:52, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

== ADV Website dead ==

Our link to ADV's [http://www.advfilms.com/buy/manga/all-ages/yotsuba-/shop.aspx?categoryid=3351 Yotsuba&! page] is dead. In fact, as far as I can tell, they've removed all manga information, period, though they still have sidebar links as if it's there. Unless, maybe, their website is merely borked and/or my search fu is weak like a weak thing. This wouldn't be much of a problem, but we also use that site as a reference -- which is now dead. Can anyone dig up a replacement link from ADV's page? If not, time to look for a replacement citation. —[[User:Quasirandom|Quasirandom]] ([[User talk:Quasirandom|talk]]) 23:21, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

In addition to English reviews, there's also these reviews of the French editions (hat tip to [[User:KrebMarkt]] for these):

== Non-English publishers ==

Yo,

You are aware that all know (or so) non-English have now references in the [[List of Yotsuba&! chapters]]. We have to move those refs in here however i don't know how to put them. Right now putting them in the manga section feel a bit awkward. It would need some ironing to insert them. Thanks --[[User:KrebMarkt|KrebMarkt]] 18:10, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

: Yeah -- currently the [[Yotsuba&!#Manga|Manga section]] isn't really following the guidelines of [[WP:SS]]. Part of this is because of edits made to the [[List of Yotsuba&! chapters|chapter list]] when it went through FAC, which weren't mirrored back here. My suggestion is that we copy over the Lead from the chapter list then edit it down to remove things that aren't needed (such as statements that provide context). —[[User:Quasirandom|Quasirandom]] ([[User talk:Quasirandom|talk]]) 19:56, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

: "''Yotsuba&!'' belongs to a genre of manga called [[ikuji]] (child-care). Other examples of this genre include [[Baby & Me]] and [[Aishiteruze Baby]]."

: That's an interesting statement. ''[[Usagi Drop]]'' would be another example, I assume, as would ''My Girl'' by [[Mizu Sahara]] and ''Aiko Desho!'' by Masakazu Ooi. Time for some research. —[[User:Quasirandom|Quasirandom]] ([[User talk:Quasirandom|talk]]) 17:47, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

: Of note, the [[:ja:育児漫画|ja.wiki page]], which significantly does ''not'' mention ''Yotsuba&!'' or any example with a child older than a toddler -- and more usually an infant.

: Pity indeed. The thumbnail on the Idea page on the left of the first row is (on the left) a two-page spread from volume 5 and (right) the cover designs (with wraparounds) of the eight volumes. Plus all the stuff shown in the blog post. This is ... worth incorporating, if we can figure out where in Reception it goes. —[[User:Quasirandom|Quasirandom]] ([[User talk:Quasirandom|talk]]) 16:40, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

::From what i undestand IDEA is a magazine focused on [[design]] that issue is the first one manga & light novel cover/packaging design & art. Yotsuba&! was the case study showing a gallery on the whole franchise including non Japanese edition covers as mentioned in its French publisher blog but also advertisement & others support materials released.

::: It is indeed a Japanese magazine focused on design -- they've interviewed type designers from all over (especially Europe) and furniture designers; a recent issue focused on book design in China. "Case study" is a good way of putting it. —[[User:Quasirandom|Quasirandom]] ([[User talk:Quasirandom|talk]]) 20:11, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

== Yen edition changes ==

One significant one: Fuka has been changed to Fuuka. Since guidelines say that, if there's multiple versions of names in English, use the "best-known" one, and this edition is only just out (mine arrived from Amazon today), I think we should hold off on changing this in the article. Thoughts? —[[User:Quasirandom|Quasirandom]] ([[User talk:Quasirandom|talk]]) 00:51, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

: Wouldn't it be easier to use Fūka throughout?  [[User:DBailey635|David Bailey]] ([[User talk:DBailey635|talk]]) 09:23, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

:: The problem with that is, per [[WP:ENGLISH]], we have to use a spelling of (one of) the official English edition(s) -- specifically, the best-known English spelling. And Fūka is never used by either ADV or Yen, only Fuka and Fuuka, respectively. —[[User:Quasirandom|Quasirandom]] ([[User talk:Quasirandom|talk]]) 14:08, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

BTW, does anyone have the new volume 5? I'm wondering what Yen Press did with Danbo/Cardbo's name. —[[User:Quasirandom|Quasirandom]] ([[User talk:Quasirandom|talk]]) 17:51, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

== Do we have a fluent Japanese speaker in the house? ==

From the [http://plaza.bunka.go.jp/festival/2006/manga/000252/ committee interview] of Azuma on winning the Japan Media Arts Award:

: Q5: 作品をつくるうえで最も苦労する部分、またはこだわる部分はどこですか？

: A5: 一番苦労するのはネーム（セリフ）。やりたくないくらいです。こだわるのは、説明しやすいところでは画面のつくり方でしょうか。記号と写実のバランスとか。人物と背景が乖離（かいり）していなくて、キャラクターが「そこにいる」感じをどう描くか。漫画になりすぎないように描く感じといいますか。

Based on the [http://plaza.bunka.go.jp/english/festival/2006/manga/000510/index.php English transcript], this looks potentially useful as Development info, but the official translation is slightly garbled. Can anyone come up with a fluid translation, to confirm this? (I know the "name" is the storyboard version done as an outline -- thank you ''[[Bakuman]]''.) —[[User:Quasirandom|Quasirandom]] ([[User talk:Quasirandom|talk]]) 15:59, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

A slightly more fluent translation:

: Q5: Please tell us the most difficult or considerable part when you create your work.

: A5: What I struggle with the most is the "name," [TN: manga jargon for first draft, equivalent to a [[storyboard]] ], that is, creating the story or dialog. It’s so hard that I don’t even want to do it. What I care about, to give an example that is easy for me to explain, is how to design a picture, so that there is a balance between symbols [TN: not sure about that word] and realism. How to depict the touch [TN: ??] of a character being "really there," where the character and the background do not lose contact with each other. What I would hope for is that it (the picture) does not become too cartoony.

Made by revising the official translation, rather than starting fresh -- because I'm not ''that'' fluent yet. With this, I think we can expand a bit on the Development section. —[[User:Quasirandom|Quasirandom]] ([[User talk:Quasirandom|talk]]) 16:55, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

== Fuka versus Fuuka ==

Given the Yen editions are way outselling the ADV ones, at least for new volumes, a reasonable argument can be made that Fuuka is becoming the more commonly recognized romanization of Miss Wind-Scent's name. Thus some of the recent changes to the article. Time to change the mentions to Fuuka (with a mention of Fuka as alternate spelling in her character description)? Discuss. —[[User:Quasirandom|Quasirandom]] ([[User talk:Quasirandom|talk]]) 17:33, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
* Agree. Note that the French translation spelling is Fûka :p --[[User:KrebMarkt|KrebMarkt]] 18:59, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

: The demographics we list on Wikipedia comes from the intended audience of the magazine the manga is first published in. This is usually the only way that we can get reliable sources for that demographic, other than from the author's own mouth.
