Well, what's not similar? They are made by the same mangaka. They are both slice-of-life stories featuring young girls... doing strange, stupid, random, but funny things. And doesn't Chiyo-chan remind you of Yotsuba? (Facial wise... they have completely different... IQ points...) 

Same author and same feel~ Both have cute characters and good laughs. 

An obvious read for fans of the Azugirls. While Yotsuba doesn't have Osaka, it does have a nice flow and whatnot from not being in the 4-koma format. It also features the titular character of Yotsuba, who is slightly reminiscent of Chiyo, mixed with all the curiosity of a five year old.  

They are both written by the same author, Kiyohiko Azuma, are slice-of-life style manga's, are mostly centered around female characters, and have no real deep plot to them, while still being an entertaining and adorable read. 

Both of these series are written by Kiyohiko Azuma, though "Azumanga Daioh" is generally a yonkoma-style manga (four-panel) and "Yotsubato!"/"Yotsuba&!" is not. Both are slice of life, cute and generally innocent. They are comical and rarely ever get very serious or romantic, but the characters are memorable and fun. "Azumanga Daioh" has already ended and "Yotsubato!" is still being written.  

This is actually very simple. They are both similar, comedic and childish. They both are also from the same mangaka. Yotsuba& is maybe a little more childish than Azumanga Daioh. They are both very easy and quick to read. :3 

While pretty much a given, Azumanga Daioh and Yotsuba to! encapsulate the fun in the mundane, brimming with innocence from writer Kiyohiko Azuma. If you love either of these series, then you'll definitely enjoy the other. 

- Same author - Focuses on comedy - But one is aimed at older audiences and the other is suitable for all ages - Both develop good character relations and interactions 

Do you like Kiyohiko Azuma? His early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Azumanga Daioh came out in '99, I think he really came into his own, commercially and artistically. The whole series has a clear timing, eccentric sense of humor, and a new sheen of slice of life genre that really gives the manga a big boost. He's been compared to Arawi Keichii, but I think Azuma has a far more lighthearted sense of humor. In '03, Azuma released this, Yotsubato, his most accomplished manga series that is still ongoing to this day. I think that manga is his undisputed masterpiece, a manga so comforting, most people probably don't care about the plot continuity. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the author himself. read more 

Azumanga Daioh and Yotsuba to! both share the same situational comedy style of humor that you commonly find in your usual slice of life 4-koma manga series, while also having Kiyohiko Azuma's absurd and unique art style that makes the jokes land in both series land a lot harder and feel so much more charming. Both series share the fact that they're very easy to recommend and get into, even to anime watchers who would probably prefer to watch something over reading something. If I were to get an anime fan to start reading manga, and they already like the Azumanga Daioh anime, I would recommend them the Azumanga Daioh manga and then Yotsuba right after because of how easy Azuma's paneling in both works' is to follow, how similar the eccentric humor and familiar charm is, and the unique funny looking art style. read more 

Made by the same manga artist 

same author but personally i like yotsuba more yipyip 

Both of these manga focus on the lives of high school girls and their ordinary day to day life. Except their life isn't really all that ordinary, crazy stuff happens all the time. Nichijou cranks the absurdity factor up by ten and presents you with a much wilder ride but the base premise is still there. Both still have lovable characters and both will give you a fun time. 

These manga talk about the daily life of some school girls and both have a ton of unpredictable episodic gags. Most of the characters are very similar, and so are the artstyles, really moē-ish.  

comedy slice of life with unusual stuff 

K-On and Azumanga Daioh have the same kind of pleasant charm. They're 4-koma series that revolve around a group of high school girls as they live out their lives. The main cast in both are lovable and have their quirks that make them stand out. They're enjoyable and funny reads that will brighten your day. 

Both are slice of life comedies that follow daily life of schoolgirls. 

has the same school life 4-koma feel, though School Rumble isnt a 4-koma. The humour in both series is very similar, and both have their heartwarming moments. 

Both are fun school slice-of-life manga. Azumanga Daioh has more gag-comedy than Azumanga Daioh, but they are pretty similar.  

Basically the same thing : every day life of high school girls, somewhat in friendly terms with their teachers. Even if Lucky☆Star has a slightly otaku-oriented humour, thanks to some characters such as Konata, Azumanga Daioh manages to take a wide view on Japanese culture in general.
