Yotsuba is ridiculously funny, super cute, and something I wish had more chapters than it currently does, because I'm all caught up already. So many hilarious moments, seriously, there is no reason not to read this one. I'm sure anyone could enjoy this manga. It's just this little girl and her dad living in Japan and with Yotsuba's personality it makes for a very entertaining read. I like it better than Azumanga Diaoh as well, not to knock that one since Azumanga is great as well, but Yotsuba, man, funny and feel-good through and through. Can't wait 'till the mangaka gets back to this.
Ai-Ren on the other hand feels like it's gonna become depressing. Well, I already know it is, it was recommended when I was seeking similar series to Bokurano with regards to character circumstance. A guy who's gonna die gets this person who's had their personality modified to be supportive of someone and help them live out their final days. It's kinda sad reading it, it's fun following the protagonist and Ai-Ren through the different things they do but Ai-Ren is definitely artificial and of course for the protagonist to be spending his final days like this... well, we'll see where it goes. Only thing I'm not digging is this futuristic bs they're kinda interweaving into the story, about how civilization has advanced so that breeding is no longer necessary and just all this nonsense that really is not interesting in the least. It could do without that.
Android Kikaider is probably my next anime. I haven't watched an anime through in a while and this doesn't seem like a bad place to start again, it doesn't really have an anime art style but the first episode is intriguing, apparently it's actually quite a sad series so I'm sure depressing times are ahead for me in this one. I'm not totally into it yet, also I'm not huge on robots and stuff so the fact that this centers on one is somewhat of a turn-off but I'm holding out, it's a short series so even if it gets stale it won't be so bad. The first episode at least gives the series promising potential.
