The appeal of the manga

Yuzuki-san Chi no Yon-Kyōdai has sold over one million copies since it started publication in 2018 and won the prestigious Shogakukan Manga Award in its 66th edition in 2021, specifically in the shojo division. It is published by Shogakukan through the Betsucomi magazine.

Part of the appeal of the series has been the character dynamics between the Yuzuki brothers. They are all very different from one another and that adds to hilarious and very fun interactions among the four of them. The story is also set in everyday life, which allows the reader to build a quicker connection because their challenges and situations are often a lot more relatable.

The Yuzuki brothers are also quite entertaining on their own and that adds to the appeal of the manga. There is also a lot of heart in the story, as the relationship between the four siblings feels very genuine and likable, which is something that plays a big role in why it has become such a huge success in the shojo market. The anime adaptation is set to take the series’ popularity to a whole new level, provided it is executed well.
