Yotsuba is trying her hand at drawing, but a few ruthless art critics could squash her dreams. A new love for gangster movies will tear her away from her artistic endeavors, when this green-haired girl-turned-goodfella uses her trigger-happy tactics to douse her doubtful neighbors. But when Yotsuba's water pistol runs out of ammo, our hugable thug learns that revenge is a dish best served dry.

Yotsuba strives to master the game of rock-paper-scissors, becomes one with the water during a fishing weekend, and tries to get money from strangers to buy groceries.

"Hello! This is Koiwai Yotsuba, Yotsuba Koiwai ... um, YOTSUBA! Yotsuba moved with Daddy to a new house from our old house waaaaaaay over there! And moving's fun 'cos people wave! (Ohhhh!!) And Yotsuba met these nice people next door and made friends to play with (one of 'em acted like one of those bad strangers Daddy told Yotsuba not to go with, but it was okay in the end). I hope we get to play a lot. And eat ice cream! And-and-and ... oh yeah!...

The always-enthusiastic Yotsuba experiences a number of firsts in her young life, including riding a bike and visiting a ranch.
