I got myself (overpriced) volumes 3 and 4 from a local con in the spur of the moment. I realized they were overpriced, but it was the first time I saw Yotsuba&! manga for sale anywhere near the horrible little place I live. After thinking it through and reminding myself the I am a perfectionist to the bone, as a student, I sacrificed some food to get myself the rest of the series from ebay with the help of a friend.
And since I got the ball rolling, and I had spare money after saving some, I just got myself this little book in my picture.
Along with more starving, some similar acquisitions, life decisions and various fantastic news, this is painting to be the best year ever in a while for me.
