Synopsis

Chiyo Mihama is a child prodigy who has skipped several grades to end up in high school. On her first day, she discovers that her class is full of eccentric individuals. Sakaki, who towers over Chiyo, is aloof and intimidating; Tomo Takino is loud and annoying; Ayumu "Osaka" Kasuga is absentminded but great at solving riddles; Koyomi "Yomi" Mizuhara is obsessed with diets and loves karaoke despite her awful singing; and Kagura, who is a competitive tomboy.

As the classmates become good friends over time, they experience their everyday lives together—things like school, studying, going on summer trips, and engaging in all kinds of shenanigans!

Azumanga was, well outside of Lucky Star, my intro to true anime. Not the stuff 4kids put out. And wow, as a kid just entering middle school, I thought at the time I hit the jackpot. It was very relatable with a lot of it's real life personal issues and connections, but also extremely funny with tons of references that, well, most I didn't get at first *thanks omnibus that I got from Borders before it shut down*.

It's goofy, but realistic to a degree high school girl friendships (plus their also out there teachers) to a tee. Basically, it's what I think a lot of ...

I was always very closed off with the type of mangas and animes I watched, and never in my life did I think I would become obsessed with a manga and anime about a group of high school girls living their daily lives together...

One of my favorite mangas of all time. I love its characters and also its silly and nonsensical humor, which is handled in a 4-panel format in a spectacular way. I finished it around February and today as I write this I can't stop thinking about this series and the impact it had on me. The emptiness that leaves you when you ...

Mixed Feelings
I found Azumanga to be very mediocre. Like many other comedy mangas from around the same time period, I rarely laugh at the jokes or the funny scenarios the character finds themselves in. It is often puns, funny faces or playing on the distinct traits of the characters. Is is an easy read since it is written in a 4 panel format and is probably the reason I read it until the end. Some chapters were however a couple pages long, and these were the most interesting ones. So should you read it? If you like light humor in 4koma format in a high school ...
