The longest summer

It took more than three years but it has finally happened.
Summer.
Has.
Ended.
(in Yotsubato!)
Something HAS to happen in this manga now. A new season symbolizes change in most sane works of fiction**. The last straw for me was when she made clothes out of garbage in the previous chapter. Strap her to Ena and take her to school. Spit in the face of child labor laws and give her the Binchou-tan treatment. I don’t care anymore, just do something different for once.
** Yes, Ichigo Mashimaro is obviously not a sane work of fiction. Yes, Ichigo Mashimaro and Yotsubato! are serialized in the same magazine.
