Based on the NCRL, here are some comics you may want to look at picking up at your friendly local comic shop tomorrow:If you've been paying attention, it will come as no surprise that the Pick of the Week is Yotsuba&! vol. 4 by Kiyohiko Azuma. It's funny, it's adorable, it's smart, it's clever, and it's manga. What more do you want for your $10?
