Instead of having the detailed story-line that you typically find in most manga, Azumanga Daioh relies on a simple comic-strip style to caputure the day-to-day life of 5 high-school girls (Chiyo, Tomo, Sakaki, Yomi, and “Osaka”) and their eccentric homeroom teacher Ms. Tanazaki. There’s no complex plot or superpowers, just the usual high-school situations: laboring over homework, falling asleep in class, hanging out after school, and making fun of your teachers behind their back.
For those of you more on the Deathnote or Bizenghast tip, do be aware the art and humor is mighty “kawaii” - so if cutesy characters aren’t your thing, you might want to sidestep this title...
Still, Azumanga Daioh is so funny that you just can’t put it down - The fact it’s a comic strip makes it both unique and fun to read.
