![]() ![]() I'm glad that the series had the constraint of being told only within the three years that the girls are in high school, because two chapters of about 20 strips for each month was more than enough. ![]() ![]() Some of the characters, such as loud-mouthed Tomo and idiot teacher Yukari, wore very thin within the first few chapters, while others I had trouble telling apart - in retrospect, I think that I probably thought many of the appearances of Kaori, Tomo, and the athletic girl (Kugara? Mugara?) were from the same person, unless they were in the panel together. It's not a bad series, but it is uneven, and it swiftly devolved into a Pink Shoujo Ghetto (thanks for the phrase, TV Tropes). ![]() I probably would not have even opened the cover, except that I have enjoyed Yotsuba&! so much and grew hopeful that maybe Azumanga Daioh was equally good. I was utterly bored when I saw an episode of the anime adaptation, and when I saw a few of the 4-koma in isolation, I had no desire to read more, so I never went out of my way to read the full Azumanga Daioh series until now, when I had the chance to read the omnibus version without exerting any effort to obtain it. Show More popularity doesn't let me understand the appeal for myself. ![]()
