Manga

Anime

The anime ran in 2002 and would end that same year, adapting most of the manga into 26 episodes. The anime is a good slice of life and in my opoion, one of the most iconic and the best !

Some of my fav episodes would be: Graduation Ceremony, both of the cultral fest episodes, school trip, Sports Fest, 2nd Year, and Miss Sakaki. (But i love so many episodes ^0^)

The soundtrack of the anime really brings the slice of life vibe in and is a plesure to listen to.

Ova and pilot

Before we got the anime, in 2000 a short test pilot of sorts was made to gather intrest. It's called Azumanga Web Daioh and just like most azumanga stuff, is easily found on youtube. You would be able to pay to dowlaod the short, and after feedback, azumanga would be adapted into the anime we all know and love :3 Its just the girls playing with a camera then making a timecapsule, with some small desgins looking differnt

The OVA on the otherhand, has VERY HIGH QUALITY animation. And was a AD in movie theaters for the anime ! I adore this OVA and its a nice short !

Honary Yotsuba section

Yotsuba is a manga spanning from 2003 to present, with 15 volumes released and a 16th on the way ! (I believe) It follows the young Yotusba Kowai, her dad, neighbors, ect just hanging out as she learns new things (thats how i'd put it). Yotsuba unlike it's precurser, has and most likely never will have a anime. As Azuma believes it is not suited for one.

I own 5 volumes of yotusba, and ive read 1-3. Yotsuba is fun protag and the art is adorable ! Some ppl desribe Yotsuba as a fusion of Osaka and Chiyo-Chan, and i kinda see it ? Only a little though . . .

Some of my fav chapters are: I'm sorting and finding my fav parts wait

Basically if you like Azumanga, good chance you'll like Yotsuba, and its good for more wholesome manga in genreal !
