It has been serialized since January 2003 in the monthly magazine ''[[Dengeki Daioh]]'' by [[ASCII Media Works]], formerly [[MediaWorks (publisher)|MediaWorks]], and has since been collected into 16 ''[[tankōbon]]'' volumes. It depicts the everyday adventures of a young girl named [[Yotsuba Koiwai|Yotsuba]] as she learns about the world around her, guided by her adoptive father, their neighbors, and their friends. Several characters in ''Yotsuba&!'' were previously featured in a [[One-shot (comics)|one-shot]] manga by Azuma called "Try! Try! Try!"<ref name="Clayton1"/> The phrase ''Yotsuba to'' means "Yotsuba and," a fact reflected in the [[List of Yotsuba&! chapters|chapter titles]], most of which take the form "Yotsuba and [''something'']."<ref name="McElhatton1"/>
