I think Yotsuba was the very first book club done on the WaniKani forums (that’s a bit before my time here), but once you get to volume 3 you’ll find Google Sheets spreadsheets.
In that sense, reading Yotsuba it gets easier the further you make it =D
That’s a relief!
Anyone know what this says? The vocab is:
Previous page she just said her name, is she describing what the kanji of her name mean or something…?
Page 71 in vocab sheet, 77 if u include the TOC etc
Close. She’s conveying the kanji used to write her name.
The name ふうか can be written differently with various kanji, such as 楓果 or 颯夏. She’s telling Yotsuba that her own spelling is 風香.
Of course, Yotsuba being a little kid has no idea what kanji are, so she doesn’t understand what Fuuka is talking about.
Sometimes I feel a lot like Yotsuba whenever I have to try and write out a name I’ve only heard in speech…
Cheer up, you could also be trying to pronounce a name you’ve only seen in writing.

thank youuu
another question!
Why does the art style and text get really bad randomly (see bottom panels)
I presume this is from Yotsuba’s point of view (simplified) but I also think maybe its a manga thing I am not used to?
It’s a manga thing you’re not used to. Also, it’s not really bad, it’s just simplified. Chibi-style.
chibi akari my beloved…
it’s also pretty common in anime too! not just manga (at risk of stating the obvious)
In both, it’s usually used for some over-exaggerated or comic effect
Omg I’m gonna cry. I tried to start reading this a lot of times, always getting frustrated, but today I managed to read the full first chapter 
Finally I can read fun native material and not that dull graded texts
