Then there are the teachers as well, the irresponsible Yukari, the reliable Miss Kurosawa (aka Nyamo) and the perverted Mr. Tomo is the wacky and annoying hyper-energetic girl, there's Yomi, who is level-headed and even a bit of a cynic, there's Osaka, who is the spacy girl with logic no one understands, there is Sakaki, painfully shy with a seemingly hidden love for cute things, there's Kagura, athletic and blunt, and finally, there is Chiyo-chan, an adorable naive 10-year-old genius. The characters, I'd have to say, are the strong point. Azuma obviously improves throughout the series, and cause the artwork to be a bit inconsistent (as you'll notice with Chiyo-chan's pigtails!). Kiyohiko does a better job with the art in Yotsuba&!, even though the art in Azumanga Daioh is also pretty well done. Since it mostly consists of four-panel strips, the art is not detailed, The humor is random and strange at times, but that makes it all the more funny.Īlthough I can't say I like the art as much in the first volume, the art in Azumanga Daioh is rendered well in most of it. It's plot is nothing heavy, certainly nothing dramatic or romantic, and sometimes it doesn't even make sense.

I adore slice-of-life manga, which would be the genre that suits Azumanga Daioh best. I'm surprised that there are no reviews written for Azumanga Daioh, although there are many for the anime.
