Seeing as how ADV Manga is notoriously bad at handling good series (or outright canceling them with no notice), and it has remained mum about Yotsuba&! #6 for quite some time, this is good news! I was on the verge of thinking we’d never see another Yotsuba book published in English…
To give ADV their dues, they announced that they were putting their manga division on hold to re-focus on Anime (translation, anime is our core business, and the economy+sales=no extra cash for sidelines (manga)). I’m just happy that they released/sold the lisence to Yen so we could start buying these again.
