Azumanga Daioh is a comedy yonkoma manga series written and illustrated by Kiyohiko Azuma, which revolves around six high school girls, as well as their classmates and teachers. Child Prodigy Chiyo Mihama enters high school at the improbable age of ten, and befriends five other teenage girls: intimidating but shy Sakaki, loudmouthed Genki Girl Tomo Takino, beleaguered Straight Man Koyomi "Yomi" Mizuhara, airheaded Cloudcuckoolander Ayumu "Osaka" Kasuga, and brash Passionate Sports Girl Kagura. Being episodic to the point of resembling sketch comedy, and largely lacking serious conflict or drama, the series has little in the way of conventional storylines, instead revolving around the ennui of everyday life....And despite having no real fanservice to speak of, it somehow invented the term "waifu." Yes, really.The manga was serialized in MediaWorks' Dengeki Daioh magazine from 1999 to 2002. Each chapter covers a month of the girls' lives, following the April–March Japanese school year and ending with graduation. In 2000, it received a spinoff short in the form of Azumanga Web Daioh; as the name implies, it was published exclusively online, immediately granting it historical significance as the very first "Original Net Animation," an online-based variant of the Original Video Animation format. The following year, the series received a theatrical short by J.C. Staff that later got turned into a full-blown televised anime adaptation, which aired on TV Tokyo from April to September of 2002 for 26 episodes. The TV anime expands upon the setting and characters while omitting other jokes.The Work Info Title combines the author's name, "Azuma", with the word "manga", appended with the title of Dengeki Daioh. It can be read in full as "Azuma's Manga for Dengeki Daioh". The magazine is aimed mainly at young teenage boys, so Azumanga Daioh is considered sh�nen, contrary to its premise and characters. However, since it lacks many tropes common in sh�nen, it's often mistaken for sh�jo, or occasionally for seinen.Its humor, especially in the manga, is heavily character-driven and often relies on Beat Panels, subtle changes in facial expression, mundane chit-chat, Running Gags, references to Japanese culture, and jarring shifts into absurdism. It's also notable for demonstrating that a series about high school girls could be popular and profitable by focusing on their personalities instead of their bodies. Its impact on Japanese media was strongly felt, as the formula and tropes that it popularized would go on to define an entire genre, the Schoolgirl Series.In 2009, to celebrate the series' tenth anniversary, Azuma wrote up a new series of "Extra Lessons" interquel strips, featuring the first (and only) new pieces of official Azumanga Daioh content since the end of its anime adaptation. That same year, a reprint of the original manga was put out featuring redone artwork by Azuma; while it wasn't a full front-to-back redraw, it did feature a good amount of touch-ups, especially for the first volume (where several characters originally looked very different from their later designs), and even included some new strips slotted alongside the old ones (separate from the "Extra Lessons" installments).The anniversary was also marked by the release of Osaka Expo, a memorial book split half-and-half between retrospective looks at Azumanga Daioh's influence on pop culture (such as marketing, merchandise, and even its international translations) and a series of strips drawn by guest artists who were influenced by the series, such as Hidamari Sketch author Ume Aoki and Nichijou author Keiichi Arawi. Since then, no new material has been put out, not even for the 20th anniversary in 2019.The series was originally licensed in the U.S. by ADV Films, who released English dubbed and subbed versions of the anime, as well as a concurrent translation of the manga throughout the mid-2000s. The license to the manga is currently held by Yen Press, who released their own translation in 2009. The anime license, after spending several years in limbo, was acquired by ADV's successor Sentai Filmworks in 2016.It also has spawned a lot of doujinshi and fan games covering various genres, such as Azumanga Fighter, a fan-made Fighting Game. | |

| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_11c0e7ee | comment |
Formal Characters Use Keigo: Chiyo speaks in a very polite manner in Japanese, which indicates her kind and precocious nature, as well as her wealthy upbringing. Tomo makes fun of this when she imitates Chiyo by ending all of her sentences in "desu yo", a polite ending participle, regardless of whether it actually makes sense. Unfortunately, this joke is mostly Lost in Translation as a result. | |

Must Have Lots of Free Time | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_13ef88c8 | comment |
Must Have Lots of Free Time: There are two unmarried teachers who are on friendly enough terms that they follow their students on vacation. This is probably an exaggeration of the closer relationship Japanese students have with their teachers. Also justifiable because Yukari and Nyamo do have a lot of free time — Yukari is such a jerkass that nobody except Nyamo will voluntarily associate with her, and both of them are single at an age where they'd be expected to be married. | |

Madness Mantra | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_141a6acb | comment |
Madness Mantra: Tomo and Kagura devolve into this when it seems like their summer break ended too fast. They keep repeating "today is a summer service day" (a day in the middle of summer break where students come in to prepare for the upcoming term). Osaka gets infected with it, too. It's really catchy. | |

Morning Routine: During a Chiyo-chan-centric episode/chapter, we see her daily morning routine before she heads out for school. Both the anime and the manga notably go out of their way to avoid showing her parents. | |

Heroic BSoD: Nyamo has a massive one the morning after she got totally drunk and gave some extracurricular education to the girls, and again when Yukari one-ups her with her mad Gratuitous English skills. Kaorin when she finds out that Kimura is going to be her new class teacher in her last year of school. It comes complete with a dramatic zoom-in and fading background, too! After a fun-filled summer, Tomo (and soon after, Osaka as well) refuses to believe that summer vacation has ended. | |

Title Drop: In the first episode of the anime, the logo appears, but then is cut off as it is hit by a baseball and flung out of frame. The same episode has a cutscene with Mr. Kimura walking with the logo on the back of his head. In episode 24, Chiyo is tackled by her dog Mr. Tadakichi, and then the logo and title are shown/heard for no clear reason. | |

Job's Only Volunteer: Tomo is the only one who willingly volunteers for the role of Class Representative, a role she's hopelessly unsuited for as an attention-seeking loudmouth; her mindset going into it is "nobody else will do it if I don't". It's subverted in that Chiyo is forced to volunteer and ends up winning the role, but Tomo's volunteering still leads her to become vice-president. | |

Japanese School Club | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_1e0e8f80 | comment |
Japanese School Club: Despite taking place in a Japanese high school, clubs play a relatively small role in the series; only two characters are part of clubs (Kagura is on the swim team and Kaorin is in the astronomy club). The possibility of joining a club is discussed by the other girls early on. Kaorin invites Sakaki to join the astronomy club, but rescinds her offer after being intimidated by Sakaki's glare, which Sakaki silently regrets. Tomo jokes that she could put her energy to use by joining the pep squad (which Yomi thinks is a perfect fit), while Chiyo asks about joining a "pet club", which the school doesn't have (to both her and Sakaki's disappointment). In the anime, Kagura also lampshades that all the other girls are in the "go-home club". | |

Another for the English speakers: the reason Tomo's repeating the food names over and over again in the Okinawa arc is because they sound like dirty innuendos. There's ukon tea, which sounds like "unko" (shit), and chinsuko, which sounds like "chinko" (dick). | |

The Friends Who Never Hang | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_1ed73929 | comment |
The Friends Who Never Hang: Downplayed, as while the main cast interacts often enough, they tend to form cliques that hang out more often than others, which leaves certain dynamics by the wayside. Sakaki and Yomi, for example, rarely interact one-on-one, and the anime cuts several of the moments where they do. | |

Late for School: Happens with Yukari every once in a while, which is noticeable here because she's the teacher. It's mostly because she commutes by bike (the car she uses for the summer trips belongs to her parents, so it's implied she can't use it regularly). She finally starts showing up on time once she gets Minamo to drive her to school. | |

Short Film | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_1f3dcfdb | comment |
Short Film: The anime received two pilot shorts while the manga was still running: The first was a four-minute web video in 2000 titled Azumanga Web Daioh, which revolved around Chiyo bringing a camcorder to school for a class project before Tomo grabs it and starts messing around with it. Unlike later animated Azumanga content, this one was done by Ajia-do Animation Works rather than J.C. Staff. Notably, the short had Nyamo voiced by Akiko Hiramatsu, who would appear in the 2002 anime proper as Yukari, making her the only VA from here to reappear in the main series. The second was a six-minute theatrical short in 2001, appropriately titled Azumanga Daioh: The Very Short Movie. It mainly consists of running through the most well-known jokes in the manga at the time in rapid succession as a way of demonstrating that it was indeed possible to faithfully translate a yonkoma comic — especially one as reliant on the format's intricacies as Azumanga Daioh — into animation. | |

Spice Up the Subtitles | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_21f394ce | comment |
Spice Up the Subtitles: The Yen Press translation has Kagura uncharacteristically call Tomo "retarded" for trying to model herself after Fujiko Mine from Lupin III; the equivalent Japanese dialogue is simply "baka", which is closer in tone to "stupid" or "foolish", and is translated as such everywhere else in the book.

Adaptation Expansion | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_23473ae7 | comment |
One that only appears in the anime as a result of some slight Adaptation Expansion. When Yukari decides to make the class play sports instead of learning English, Osaka suggests that her team be called Team Sea Slug in an anime-exclusive gag, much to Chiyo and Kaorin's dismay. Later, during the class trip to Okinawa, Osaka finds some sea slugs while diving and starts playing with them in a bit carried over from the manga; Chiyo still isn't amused. | |

Go-to-Sleep Ending: Episode 12 ends with Chiyo-chan going to bed. Which is fitting because the whole episode involves her going about her school day, beginning with her waking up. When all the girls arrive at Chiyo-chan's house after Mayaa reunites with Sakaki in episode 24, she and Chiyo agree to sleep over for the night at the end. | |

Only Sane Man: Yomi is (relatively speaking) the most straightforward girl of the main students, who are all guilty for their stranger antics compared to her, something she herself often acknowledges. Nyamo is this for the teachers (at least, compared to Kimura and Yukari), although, like Yomi, she definitely has her occasional less-than-sane moments as well. | |

Playing Up the Stereotype: When Osaka transfers in from a school in Osaka, resident Genki Girl Tomo believes that she'll perfectly embody The Idiot from Osaka and gets disappointed when she turns out to be gentle and soft-spoken. Tomo angrily accuses her of being an imposter, and when Osaka tries to explain that Osakans aren't all loud and brash, she recognizes that it's not working and instead lightly strikes Tomo in an imitation of an Osakan Boke and Tsukkomi Routine. Tomo immediately and enthusiastically responds "You pass!" | |

Bilingual Bonus | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_294ed981 | comment |
Bilingual Bonus: Only counts if you're watching the Japanese dub, but look at the scene from the first episode in which Osaka's hiccups render her recorder-playing unlistenable. It's implied that the phrase Yukari was partway through writing means "What are you doing" in English. Another for the English speakers: the reason Tomo's repeating the food names over and over again in the Okinawa arc is because they sound like dirty innuendos. There's ukon tea, which sounds like "unko" (shit), and chinsuko, which sounds like "chinko" (dick). | |

Bland-Name Product | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_2b5ea43c | comment |
Bland-Name Product: Both the manga and the anime feature an amusement park called "Magical Land", a stand-in for Tokyo Disneyland. The anime makes this more apparent by featuring a parody of Splash Mountain's famous photo-op. In the manga, Chiyo, Osaka and Tomo end up working a part-time job at "Magnetron Burger", a knock-off of McDonald's, for a short amount of time. The anime removes these scenes, but still keeps a reference to the restaurant via a close up shot of a cup Kagura drinks from in the anime-original 19th episode. In general, this is averted in the manga: Yukari mentions buying a new PlayStation game, Sakaki looks up cats on Google, and Chiyo mentions going to... McDonald's, implying that Magnetron Burger is a knock-off in-universe. The anime also removes these references, with Yukari's case being changed to simply "a new game". | |

Embarrassing Hobby: One of Sakaki's defining character traits is her love for cute objects, which she collects. She's especially fond of plush dolls and has an even bigger soft spot for cats. But she hides it from her friends at school, because they have the wrong idea about her and she's too shy to tell them. So she'd be mortified if they ever found out. While there's never a big reveal moment, they eventually do figure out that side of her, and Chiyo even bonds with her over it. | |

Eskimos Aren't Real: In the Christmas Episode, Kagura stops to ask if reindeer are real.

Later on, when Tomo declares her intent to join Interpol, Kagura questions if the organization even exists, or if it was just made up for movies. Tomo is taken aback by this, and the two of them end up asking Chiyo if it's real. | |

Girlish Pigtails: Chiyo has pigtails that are shaped like footballs, showcasing her childishness despite her high intelligence. In her last year, she starts wearing them lower to indicate how she's matured. Yomi wears more mature braided twintails in the Extra Lessons of the manga, mostly to accommodate a gag where a cicada ends up on her back, but complementing her feminine fashion sense either way. | |

Playing Pictionary | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_35051d93 | comment |
Playing Pictionary: Sakaki's "dog" and "cat" plushies basically resemble flat discs with rudimentary features attached, and not even Sakaki can tell them apart. Chiyo and Osaka, at one point, draw pandas in an attempt to remember what they look like. Chiyo's panda looks a bit off, but Osaka's doesn't resemble anything, and freaks them both out. | |

| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_355007c3 | comment |
Brilliant, but Lazy: Tomo, of all people, shows signs of hidden intelligence. She got a 100 on a P.E. exam when she specifically studying for it to spite Chiyo. Later on, Tomo reveals to Kagura that she managed to get into their competitive high school solely because Yomi said she couldn't. Kagura's main takeaway is that Tomo puts too much effort into pissing people off. | |

Actor Allusion: Kurosawa apparently has a troubled past with a love letter that Yukari threatens to blackmail her with if she reveals any of Yukari's schooltime shenanigans. Kurosawa's voice actress, Aya Hisakawa, also played Sailor Mercury/Ami Mizuno, who gets a special in the anime and manga dedicated to a romantic notion of hers. In it, she's shown to have a strong aversion to love letters, culminating in an allergic reaction to some that are used to attack her in the climax. Kaorin's German voice actress, Kathrin Neusser, played Mayu from Elfen Lied, a character who looks very similar to Kaorin. | |

Hot for Student: While Kimura's self-admitted lust for teenage girls knows little to no boundaries, he appears to take a special liking to Kaorin, pulling strings to get her in his homeroom class and insisting that he use the nickname that her friends gave her, much to her despair. When Yomi finds out, she calls it worse than getting bullied. His last spoken line in the anime is even him declaring that he and Kaorin will be together forever, again to Kaorin's dismay. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: When you constantly and intentionally keep agitating a wild animal? You are going to get hurt. Tomo learns this the hard way; after playing with Mayaa like a doll, she gets scratched so badly that she has to get it stitched up at the hospital. This also applies to Sakaki and her constant attempts to pet the biting cat. It doesn't matter that they're small, these are still wild animals that shouldn't be treated like house pets or toys. | |

School Sport Uniform: The characters' gym uniforms use the archetypical shorts for guys and bloomers for girls. Kimura has a particular interest in the bloomers, and even asks the girls to tuck their shirts into their bloomers, much to their disgust. Their outdatedness is lampshaded by Yomi near the end of the manga (which began serialization in 1999, when bloomers were already being phased out of schools due to modesty concerns), to which Kimura insists that "bloomers will never die". | |

Sakaki looked at him like she was seriously considering killing him and, instead, as Chiyo was desperate due to how far behind she had gotten, gave Chiyo the single most heartwarming smile ever given in the history of anime, said it was okay and proceeded to obliterate the competition. | |

Relatively minor, and not the primary focus of the series, but it's there. The beach episodes are most prominent. Yukari lampshades it by name in the anime; when she heads to the school pool wearing a bikini, she outright says that she's "going for more fanservice this year". Actually, the anime seems to have added several extra scenes set at the pool or the beach for the exact reason of fanservice (such as Tomo posing in a bikini in her New Year's dream). | |

Loves Me Not: Kaorin pulling the petals off a flower to determine whether she would be in the same class as Sakaki for second year (but the more conventional question is definitely in the subtext). The first flower yields a negative and she starts having a major panic attack, but before she can pull the last petal, Yukari gives her another flower that she can start over with. The same thing happens, except it's Mr. Kimura who offers the flower (to the horror of both Kaorin and Yukari). A pile of stems and petals later, Kaorin decided to just go ahead and look at the roster. To her relief, she is in the same class. | |

| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_500696c6 | comment |
Seinfeldian Conversation: Quite a few conversations between the characters tend to be about random, mundane topics. Osaka, being the Cloudcuckoolander she is, is often the one who starts these. | |

Painting the Medium | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_5009999d | comment |
Painting the Medium: The Japanese version of the manga uses a number of different fonts and text weights to indicate changes in tone of voice. This is carried over to the Yen Press translation, which, among other things, writes Chiyo's dialogue in a slightly bolder font to indicate her higher-pitched voice. | |

| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_5076ccdb | comment |
You Say Tomato: Chiyo-chichi pronounces it "to-mah-to". Justified, as this actually is the standard Japanese pronunciation of the term ("トマト"), though he still pronounces it this way in the English dub. | |

Moe Couplet: Sakaki and Chiyo. Chiyo is already cute on her own, but her cuteness can multiply with Sakaki's presence, making her seem like a protective Cool Big Sis to the impressionable Chiyo-chan. Osaka and Chiyo can be this way, too, just by the way of being the top two cutest girls of the main students. | |

Book Ends: The very first chapter, April 1999, features banner art of Yukari in formal wear lamenting how depressing the title of the opening strip is. The very last chapter, March 2002, features banner art of Yukari in formal wear expressing pride in the conclusion of the series. In the anime adaptation, the girls' final summer vacation in August 2001 begins and ends with nearly identical scenes where Osaka comments on the sight of Kagura's chest. In the first version of the scene, she asks how far Kagura's tan goes, and when she sees her tan lines, she remarks that Kagura could go naked in public without anyone noticing because they match the outline of her swimsuit. In the second version, she asks Kagura if she looks like broiled saury and compares her breasts to "big bowls of pea rice." Both times, Yomi angrily warns Kagura not to take Osaka seriously. | |

Invisible Parents | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_5369c081 | comment |
Invisible Parents: None of the main characters' parents are ever seen on-screen, beyond Chiyo's father (who may or may not be a giant, floating, talking cat) and, in the anime only, Kaorin's mother. The girls' parents are frequently mentioned in passing, and sometimes appear just off-screen, but are otherwise intentionally absent. The only adult supervision they're given is by their teachers, who may as well be teenagers themselves. | |

Hero of Another Story | |

Hero of Another Story: Literally with the cameo of Kokoro Kosaka in the first school festival episode. She is the main character of Wallaby, a short-lived manga authored by Azuma. She is the girl looking at the stuffed animals when Osaka tells her that they are buildings and places in Osaka. Wallaby himself appears in her pocket, but only in the manga version. Incidentally, the last chapter of Wallaby actually sets up this cameo, ending on Kokoro telling Wallaby about a school festival she's going to. | |

Adaptation Distillation | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_5a40d6a | comment |
Adaptation Distillation: A fair amount of content and jokes from the manga don't make it into the anime, such as everything involving the McDonald's Expy that Chiyo, Osaka and Tomo briefly work at (though a close up shot of the cup Kagura drank from in the 19th episode reveals that it came from that same restaurant), any of the scenes where it's raining, or the dream Tomo had involving Chiyo and a button. Since some events happen earlier in the anime, Kagura's involvement in certain scenes is also removed entirely due to her not joining the main cast's class yet, most notably her absence from the anime's version of the Hiccups chapter. | |

Boyish Short Hair: Tomo cuts her hair short in her third year to imitate the look of Ryoko Hirosue (or Ayumi Hamasaki in the anime). Kagura's hair is also short to match her tomboyish personality, complete with Hot-Blooded Sideburns. Chihiro's hair makes her look quite boyish compared to the other girls, to the point that you could mistake her for a boy if she weren't wearing the girls' uniform. | |

Among other incidents, When Nyamo gets a memory foam pillow, Yukari hits her and calls her "damn bourgeois," and when Chiyo gleefully states that she's had matsusaka beef (which is both highly-prized and highly-priced) before, Yukari smacks her in the face. | |

Obviously Fake Signature: In March 2001, Tomo bribes her way into Chiyo's 12th birthday party by claiming that she'll gift her an autograph from famed Yomiuri Giants infielder Kazuhiro Kiyohara, taking advantage of Chiyo's love of the baseball team. In the next strip, Tomo gives Chiyo the autograph, only for the latter to discover that it's just a blocky rendering of the kanji for Kiyohara's name, which Tomo gladly admits was her own handiwork. Chiyo's only response is to give the "autograph" back to Tomo while trembling with rage. | |

Title: The Adaptation: The short film is called Azumanga Daioh: The Very Short Movie, and the anime is called Azumanga Daioh: The Animation, presumably to mitigate the Artifact Title of no longer being a manga. ADV's English translation of the manga, in a somewhat confusing recursive example, was renamed Azumanga Daioh: The Manga. | |

Measuring Day | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_65158166 | comment |
Measuring Day: A recurring event throughout the series, as with actual Japanese high schools; the first of these notably introduces the fact that Tomo's mocking of her friends' appearances and habits is actually rooted in her own insecurity about herself. | |

Super-Deformed | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_652c32fa | comment |
Super-Deformed: The series frequently has characters shift to this style as a means of accentuating its comedy; the manga most commonly does this in its first volume, though it occasionally pops up in the second and third years as well. | |

Premature Aggravation | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_66278f29 | comment |
Premature Aggravation: When Yukari finds a stray cat and tries to get the girls to take care of it, Sakaki starts thinking of what she would name it if she could take it home. This quickly leads her to dream up an elaborate and tragic backstory for the kitten, until she finally reduces herself to tears, much to Kagura's confusion. | |

The One Guy: Outside of pets and Chiyo's dad, there are very few male characters in the entire series. Among the only recurring ones are Kimura, a recurring background student named Ohyama, and another recurring background student whom fans refer to as "that one dude" (his most memorable appearance is when he gets his bike stolen by Yukari). | |

Untranslated Title | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_68a77024 | comment |
Untranslated Title: The series is named Azumanga Daioh regardless of what region it's released in, thanks to its Pun-Based Title (which can be read as either "Kiyohiko Azuma's Manga for Dengeki Daioh" or "Emperor Azumanga") being impossible to adequately translate. While the US CD release of Let's Sing: Azumanga Daioh Vocal Collection gives official English-language titles for several image songs and even the opening theme ("Ear-Playing-Tricks Cake"), Tomo's image song "Poi Poi Peace" retains its Japanese name rather than using a translated one (e.g. "Throw-Away Peace"). | |

Chiyo being the cute Class Representative, Tomo the Class Clown, Osaka who is easily influenced by the others. Which leaves Yomi the Straight Man having to either correct the mistakes, or discipline the girls. | |

Canon Marches On: An incredibly minor one. The anime shows that Kaorin doesn't swim in open water due to having motion sickness (much to her dismay when she sees Sakaki in the water). The manga's Extra Lessons, released seven years after the anime, show that Kaorin doesn't have any problem being in the water. | |

Mischievous Body Language: Tomo is prone to mischief face, despite the fact that she's Book Dumb and a shining example of The Friend Nobody Likes. Chiyo once unwittingly provoked her to action by stating that if she lost the keys to her family's beach house, they'd be in trouble. Tomo got a scheming look on her face before seizing the keys and throwing them in a grassy field. When she suggests it would be funny if she did it again, her childhood friend Yomi has Sakaki restrain Tomo while Chiyo unlocks the door. | |

Covers Always Lie: The covers for the ADV Films DVDs make the series look like a fanservice anime when it's nothing of the sort, showing the girls in a very unflattering light◊: exposed stomachs, embarrassed expressions, and skirts that are dangerously close to being blown upwards by the wind. Granted, they're frames from the opening animation... very strategically chosen frames. The Sentai Filmworks◊ re-release uses artwork that's more faithful to the series' tone. | |

Sailor Fuku | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_7c4b9d2 | comment |
Sailor Fuku: The high school where the series takes place uses sailor uniforms for the girls' uniform, though with elastic ties instead of the typical scarf or bow. The winter uniform is salmon pink with long sleeves, while the summer uniform is blue with short sleeves. In the manga, Yukari and Nyamo dress up in an older version of the school's uniforms during the third year's costume race, with the primary difference being that the collar is the same color as the top. Kimura suggests that the girls wear their sailor uniforms in gym class, and later goes after Yukari and Nyamo in the aforementioned costume race, implying that he might just have a sailor uniform fetish. When Chiyo's grade school friends graduate to middle school, they wear the classic navy blue sailor uniforms with red scarves. Chiyo expresses jealousy that she'll never get to wear one like theirs because she skipped ahead to high school, but they note that they are not likely get into her school. | |

When Ms. Yukari asks her to choose her favorite thing from an expensive catalog, Chiyo points out an ice cream set, and Ms. Yukari gets angry at her for it, asking her if she's being childish or just showing off her rich background. | |

What Does She See in Him?: Nobody can figure out what Kimura's wife sees in him, to the point that Tomo and Osaka consider calling the police. In the end, they learn Mrs. Kimura happens to be a kindhearted (if naïve) person, who apparently either doesn't seem to be aware of his leerier habits or flat-out doesn't mind them. She says her taste in men is simply out of style, like how '70s trousers came back in style in the '90s. None of the girls buy into this. | |

Slice of Life | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_7e081ea0 | comment |
Slice of Life: One of the most iconic and well-known examples in manga and anime, enough that it became the Trope Codifier of the Schoolgirl Series sub-genre. The entire series is focused on the daily lives of six schoolgirls and all of the antics they get into during their three years of high school, with very little serious plot or conflict beyond that. | |

| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_8426d2ac | comment |
Inherently Funny Words: During the class trip to Okinawa in July 2001, Osaka fixates on Okinawan language, finding its heavy use of long syllables amusing. After Chiyo teaches her how to ask "Is that a Shisa?" in Okinawan ("Shisa yaibīmi?"), she uses the phrase as much as she can. Later, she bursts into giggles when she hears the Okinawan word "osenmikocha" (a room of prayer in Shuri Castle), and when she goes to tell Tomo about it, she can't even finish her sentence because she's laughing so hard. When she spots chanpurū at a buffet the following evening, she immediately names every type they have and loudly shouts "Chanpurū!" after finishing her meal. Finally, in the second July chapter, she fixates on the word "s�t� andagī", a type of Okinawan pastry, repeating it constantly. Every time she speaks Okinawan, she overstresses the long syllables. | |

All Animals Are Domesticated | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_8661b469 | comment |
All Animals Are Domesticated: Zigzagged. Sakaki's plight is portrayed as a realistic aversion, as she's trying to pet feral cats, explaining why they're so territorial and hostile towards her. But it's played straight with Mayaa, a wild cub who acts like a pet kitten. These opposing portrayals are justified: the cats she's petting, regardless of whether or not they're feral, all find her to be large and imposing. These traits, however, are what Mayaa saw in his own mother, hence his affectionate behavior towards Sakaki. | |

Yomi responds by asking for a hundred trillion yen, which Tomo tries to get her to pare down to a more realistic amount; Yomi's response to that is to suggest ten million yen instead. Later, when Tomo asks Chiyo the same question, she responds with the star on top of the train station's Christmas tree, with Tomo ribbing at Yomi by describing Chiyo's wish as purehearted. | |

Laser-Guided Karma: Tomo threw a temper tantrum at Yomi and chased her through the cafeteria trying to hit her with a lunch tray. Instead she hit Yukari, who then had a much more justifiable reason to whale on her with two trays. It's also a double example since earlier in the same episode Yukari and Tomo had both been yelling at and hitting Yomi due to jealousy over the fun she had in Hokkaido. | |

According to Kagura, Santa's presents are paid for by the government, he's a master lockpicker (to get into houses without chimneys), he makes deliveries by flying at Mach 100, and he can do it because he isn't human. It's all moot once Chiyo reveals she knows Santa doesn't exist. | |

In addition to the "Azuma's Manga for Dengeki Daioh" reading mentioned above, Azumanga Daioh can also be interpreted as "Emperor Azumanga"; the manga itself would title one strip after this alternate reading, jokingly describing Osaka as the "Empress of Forgetting". The characters also discuss this in the anime during one On the Next segment, concluding that if the series is "Emperor Azumanga", the preview must be "Prince Azumanga". | |

Sakaki initially leaves him in the wild, as she knows that the Iriomote cat species is endangered and should not be kept as a pet. However, Mayaa later found his way from Okinawa to Japan to find her after his mother was hit by a car, and is staying with Chiyo-chan until Sakaki gets her own apartment. | |

School Festival: Comes up in the first and second years. Both times, the first suggestions given are "coffee shop" and "haunted house", which are rightfully pointed out to be clichéd. In the second year, they consider combining them into a "haunted coffee shop", but Osaka vetoes it after imagining herself failing to serve tea while hopping on one leg as a karakasa. In the end, they go with a stuffed animal shop for the first year, and a stuffed animal café for the second, with cute uniforms to match. Chiyo even dresses up as a penguin the second time, to adorable effect. | |

A Day in the Limelight: The six main girls all get one except for Tomo, while Nyamo and Yukari share one. Sakaki gets several, one of which is shared with Kagura. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: It probably wasn't intentional on her part, but in the first summer vacation arc while the girls are talking about TV show murder cases, Osaka starts describing a situation in which it happens to them, with the murderer ultimately turning out to be Osaka herself. Two summer vacations later, Osaka walks into Yukari's bedroom, holding a knife... The movie that Sakaki and Chiyo (the latter only in the manga) watch at the movie theater, which is about a cat traveling far in order to reunite with its owner, is very similar to what happens near the end of the series when Mayaa travels across Japan to find Sakaki after his mother is killed by a car. Similarly, every time Chiyo-Chichi appears in Sakaki's dreams, Sakaki needing to find "a real cat" is mentioned. This turns out to be Mayaa. | |

Continuity Nod | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: After finding out what she missed out on when she declined the other girls' offer to go with them on summer vacation, not knowing Sakaki would be going, Kaori made sure to go with them by the third year. An interesting minor bit of continuity concerns a background student, a glasses-wearing boy named Masaki Ohyama. He's first named in one of the manga's earliest strips, where it's revealed he got a perfect score on a test Yukari assigned. After Yukari picks him to be the first term's class president, we find out at the end of the year that he had the highest overall grade in the class next to Chiyo. Following that, he disappears for two years until the graduation ceremony... where it's revealed he became the Student Representative, apparently maintaining his high grades off-screen. | |

Animals Hate Him | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_9fd18130 | comment |
Animals Hate Her: Sakaki. All she wants is a cat — or at least to get near a cat. Episode 9 shows just how far the universe goes in thwarting her: the entire episode comprises incidents where Sakaki tries to get close to a cat or a cat replica, and is denied — someone else gets the last copy of a cat book, a robotic cat breaks down before she can pet it, etc. That's not even getting into the biting cat, whose sole purpose in life, it looks like, is to bite Sakaki and remind her that her favorite animals hate her. Still, she does end up winning two cat plushies from a crane game. It isn't until very late in the series that this trope begins to relax in her favor. | |

Later, during the second athletics festival, Tomo, Yomi, Chiyo and Osaka all throw to determine who gets to ride on top during kibasen. Osaka throws late, and still loses. | |

Overly Long Gag: Lots of them, more so in the anime, to accommodate for the manga's extensive use of Beat panels. Most notable is probably Tomo's "Why in the heck?" sequence in her dream, which takes up exactly two panels in the manga but goes on for a good 30 seconds in the anime. | |

| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_a43fd672 | comment |
Continuity Overlap: During the first school festival in the manga, Kokoro Kosaka (from Azuma's concurrent series Wallaby) shows up at the girls' plushie booth. She keeps the eponymous Wallaby in her coat pocket, though he doesn't appear in the corresponding anime scene. Over in Wallaby itself, the final chapter ends with Kokoro offering to take Wallaby to a culture festival at her friend's school, which leads into the cameo in Azumanga. In the Extra Lessons, Tomo wears a "Kodomo Usagi" shirt, a brand which is often seen in Yotsuba&!; the latter series is often implied to take place in the same continuity as Azumanga. | |

Blown Across the Room | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_a4916876 | comment |
Tomo usually attempts to fill the role of the boke, though nobody is willing to be her tsukkomi — Yomi, the usual victim, tends to tune her out for her own sanity. In the first episode, when Tomo learns they've got a new transfer student from Osaka, she asks Yomi to be the tsukkomi to her boke, despite her protests. Tomo reacts to Yomi's completely unenthusiastic "nandeyanen?" with a take where she leaps across the room, clearly demonstrating her hyperactive nature. | |

New Year, Same Class: And it's not because Yukari didn't feel like learning new names or anything like that. Subverted in the case of Kagura, though. She got transferred to Yukari's class in Year 2 because Yukari wanted to make sure that, hands down, her class won the athletic festival. | |

Ascended Extra | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_a65288e2 | comment |
The manga took an interesting approach near the beginning where, aside from a few main characters (Chiyo, Sakaki, and Tomo), the rest of the cast was a rotating set of nameless students who would regularly interact with one another, in what seems to be an experiment to suss out interesting dynamics between them. Yomi and Kagura ended up being bumped up to the main cast through this, while others weren't so lucky: Kaorin, despite attempts to avoid this trope. In the early chapters of the manga she has roughly the same prominence as Sakaki or Yomi, but from around the time Osaka is introduced Kaorin starts to fade into the background. The demotion is solidified by the time of the first summer trip, which she doesn't join. She's still a regular recurrer in later comics (even getting a few new appearances in the Extra Lessons), but her fate as an extra is sealed when she's transferred to Kimura's class in the last volume. In the anime she isn't demoted as quickly (or as far), but she's also more obviously a supporting character from the start. Chihiro, Kaorin's best friend. She starts out as a recurring character who frequently hangs out with Kaorin and Yomi, even sharing the latter's Only Sane Man tendencies in contrast to Tomo. She seems like she'll be a main character and even gets a name tag in the first episode. But as the series goes on she appears less often, and by the time the third year starts up, she becomes a non-speaking background character who doesn't even get a single line of dialogue in the final episode, while in the manga she straight up vanishes and is never seen again except for a very brief cameo during the final sports festival. | |

Tomo has an Imagine Spot where she combines Chiyo's intelligence, Sakaki's athleticism, and Osaka's forgetfulness. She apologizes for her late arrival to class, leaps high into the air, and pulls off a graceful somersault. Her friends look up in amazement as she lands perfectly in her seat, answers Yukari's question with ease, and declares that she forgot her textbook. | |

He's shown in the 2009 print of the manga, and ends up being a downplayed example (larger than average, but still a realistic size for a cat). | |

| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_ac801075 | comment |
Mascot's Name Goes Unchanged: Most honorifics in the English dub are translated, with the exception being Chiyo. She is always called "Chiyo-chan". This led some fans to believe "-chan" was a part of her name and everyone was on a Full-Name Basis with her, as the series was translated in a time before dubs began to leave honorifics alone. Part of why it was translated was likely due to this, however it's also hard to translate "Chiyo-chan" to something that both sounds right and fits the Mouth Flaps. | |

Group Reacts Individually: Episode 14, the girls have gone to Chiyo's family's beach house for the summer, where Minamo "Nyamo" Kurosawa managed to over-imbibe while trying to keep Yukari, a fellow adult, from drinking. During her period of inebriation, she gave the girls an informative talk about the birds and the bees, which was shown with Relax-o-Vision. The next morning, a hung-over "Nyamo" has no memory of what happened the night before, and wonders why Sakaki is running away from her in embarrassment, and then Chiyo-chan, a Grade Skipper, asks her, innocently enough, about the things "Nyamo" told them the night before, to "Nyamo"'s horror. Sakaki, a regular student, is blushing and looking away, Chiyo is confused, The Knuckleheads (Tomo, Osaka, and Kagura) are showing her respect and reverence, and Yukari is delighting in "Nyamo"'s discomfort and confusion. | |

Holding in Laughter: In one set of strips set during December 2000, Kagura tries to keep Tomo from spoiling Chiyo's presumed belief in Santa and scrambles to explain how he can deliver gifts to everyone around the world. When Chiyo reveals that she already knows that "Santa" was just her dad, Sakaki has an Imagine Spot based on the conversation, in which said father is the yellow catlike creature from a dream she had at the start of the year. The thought is so funny to Sakaki that she presses her hand over her mouth and shudders holding in her laughter, with Osaka asking if something's the matter. | |

Usually it's because of her poor sleep schedule, preferring to doze off rather than get up on time, while other times it might be due to things like showing up to the wrong class or getting stuck in line for the newest PlayStation game. Eventually, her friend and coworker Nyamo starts driving her to school, allowing her to start showing up on time more often. | |

Packaged as Other Medium: The Japan-only 2009 reprint is designed to resemble a set of school textbooks: the covers feature characters on a minimalist background with nothing else beyond the title and author's name, while the interiors feature a similarly standardized design style throughout. | |

Everyone Has Standards | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_b4a6ae4c | comment |
Everyone Has Standards: As weird as Osaka can be, she's not incapable of being weirded out herself. Particularly by Kaorin's insistence she wouldn't mind if Sakaki was a guy, and Tomo and Yukari at their craziest. She's also genuinely concerned when Sakaki breaks down imagining Chiyo's dad as Santa Claus. Despite the "entire male student body" being impressed with Kimura's... "honesty", many male background students are shown looking uncomfortable with his antics in other scenes. | |

Epic Fail | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_b4eff8a8 | comment |
Epic Fail: During one summer trip, Yukari spins out hard in the yard while trying to get out... and it turns out she accidentally put the car in reverse gear. Osaka is frequently depicted as struggling in... a lot of things... but one thing that goes beyond typical boundaries is her attempt at predicting the weather. She tosses her shoe in the air to see which way it'll land... and ends up kicking it into the back of a passing truck. | |

Mistaken for Pedophile | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_b4fb00f6 | comment |
Mistaken for Pedophile: In one April 1999 strip, a male teacher disciplines students for forgetting to do their homework by smacking them on the head with a rolled-up magazine. When he gets to Chiyo, she becomes a shaking, stammering wreck, resulting in him simply tapping her on the head out of sympathy. Two students in the background are seen with thought bubbles that read "lolicon..." (in the English translation, they think "he likes 'em young"; in the Spanish translation, they outright call him a pedophile). The 2009 reprint removes the thought bubbles, only displaying the students' resigned facial expressions. | |

Airplane Arms: Subverted; Osaka tries this during a relay race, but it only slows her down. Then again, Osaka isn't a very good runner to start with; she even loses to Chiyo. Although in this case, the idea isn't that it will make her run faster; she reckons the other racers won't be able to get past because her arms are in the way. | |

Lost in Translation | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_b7920c43 | comment |
Lost in Translation: The Bruce Lee "Blue Three" joke relies a lot on the quirks of Japanese pronunciation — both phrases are pronounced as buruusurii. While the English manga was able to get around this by rewriting the joke, the anime dub doesn't explain where "Blue Three" comes from, which makes it very confusing if you don't already know the joke. During the Okinawa school trip, a running gag involves Tomo finding a random food product and repeating the name to Yomi repeatedly while waving the box in her face. The joke, which tends to go untranslated, is that these Okinawan products' names are extremely close to sounding like naughty words in standard Japanese. (Chinsukou -> Chinko (Dick), Ukon Tea -> Unko (Poop)) | |

Chihiro to Kaorin, and to Tomo and Yomi early in the manga. Most if not all of her screen time is just her being Kaorin's friend, while in the manga she also started out as a third wheel to Tomo and Yomi's dynamic who was then quickly phased out. | |

Color Failure: The anime adaptation repeatedly makes use of this as a means of displaying particularly extreme cases of shock or distress.

My Life Flashed Before My Eyes: When the girls talk about going to the zoo, Osaka mentions that she wants to see pandas and her life flashing before her eyes. For a more typical example, this seemed to have happened to Chiyo when she rode in Yukari's car. So much so that when someone brings it up, she seems to have flashbacks, screaming out for an old man unfortunate enough to be caught in the Yukarimobile's path. | |

Berserk Button: Osaka's pretty laid-back and easy-going...but do not split your chopsticks improperly, or you'll get the full brunt of her anger, as Tomo found out. Don't tell Chiyo's "dad" that his face resembles that of former prime minister Yoshiro Mori (Bill Clinton, in the anime dub). Especially don't tell him that he isn't a real cat. Even if he says so himself. Yukari has several of these, but probably her biggest one is her Vitriolic Best Bud, Nyamo. Also, don't say that you like ice cream more than Matzusaka Beef, or that you had all the snow crab you could eat. | |

Yukari wakes up early and is immediately greeted with the sight of Osaka towering over her, wielding both a knife and an eerily vacant grin. | |

Meanwhile, his wife is quite the looker, with Tomo (Osaka in the anime) describing her as very pretty. The contrast is enough to blindside the girls when Kimura reveals that the two of them are married. | |

Intentional Engrish for Funny: One of the few examples in a non-English work.

Intra-Scholastic Rivalry: Class 3 (Yukari's class) and Class 5 (Nyamo's class) have a longstanding rivalry that typically gets played out during the yearly Sports Fest. This is largely fueled by the animosity between Yukari and Nyamo, who could best be described as frenemies. The only member of Class 5 that we get to know by name is Kagura, and she ends up in Yukari's class the very next year to serve as a ringer in this very rivalry. | |

Big Friendly Dog | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_c78c0896 | comment |
Big Friendly Dog: Mr. Tadakichi, a "man of character". Though he's far less hyper then most examples of this trope, being friendly in a more relaxed way. He's also one of the only animals that lets Sakaki pet him. | |

Unexpected Kindness | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_c9e20e01 | comment |
Unexpected Kindness: Occasionally, Mr. Kimura the notorious Dirty Old Man does something decent (i.e. donating to charity and picking up litter), which surprises the girls. They think he must have some good in him, and then it's immediately subverted when he says something perverted, proving them all wrong. | |

Cloudcuckoolander: Osaka is by far the biggest airhead in the series, and possibly Anime as a whole. So much so that she provides this trope's Anime & Manga page image. The rest of the main cast also apply to some degree, with Kimura-sensei and Sakaki being the most notable examples (but in very different ways). | |

Mundane Made Awesome: Osaka, Kagura, and Tomo combining their test scores for the sole purpose of beating Chiyo. You'd think they were trying to form Voltron or something. Tomo has an Imagine Spot where she combines Chiyo's intelligence, Sakaki's athleticism, and Osaka's forgetfulness. She apologizes for her late arrival to class, leaps high into the air, and pulls off a graceful somersault. Her friends look up in amazement as she lands perfectly in her seat, answers Yukari's question with ease, and declares that she forgot her textbook. The act of breaking chopsticks is made to look awesome a number of times. Yukari's sea-parting Engrish monologue, raised practically to A God Am I levels. Yomi's reaction to the buffet in the Okinawan hotel. Limiter override! During the snowball fight in episode eighteen, Kagura throws a snowball at a petrified Chiyo, only to be caught, juggled, and thrown back at Kagura by Sakaki, moving at ridiculous speeds in a manner that would not have looked out of place in an action series. | |

Asleep in Class | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_d2431598 | comment |
Asleep in Class: Osaka falls asleep often in class, and usually gets smacked for it by Yukari. Chiyo wonders if it's because she stays up late at home. At one point Kaorin falls asleep in class, and Kagura attempts to wake Kaorin up by poking her with a pencil, only to stab her in the back of the head when she wakes up with a start. Yukari herself sleeps in class sometimes. Particularly notable in that she's the teacher and usually is the one to get after Osaka for doing the same thing. | |

Clingy Sleepers: When the girls get the photos back from their first summer vacation together, Kaorin, who was unable to attend, is horrified to find a picture of Tomo sleeping in the same futon as, and clinging tightly to, a sleeping Miss Sakaki. When asking to know why (Kaorin has an unrequited crush on Sakaki), all Tomo can offer by way of explanation is that she tends to cling to things in her sleep. When Kaorin further demands to know why, Tomo shrugs and says there's no real reason. | |

The Unfettered | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_d839c530 | comment |
The Unfettered: Sakaki and Kagura have much more personal roles, unlike the other four girls. Sakaki though sensitive, just wants to adore and love cute animals (especially cats). Other than that, she mostly keeps to herself. Kagura didn't join the main cast till later, she's more focused on her sports and physical education. But reacts badly to bullying or teasing, and isn't as deep or intuitive as Sakaki. | |

Breakout Character: Osaka got considerably less focus than the other main characters in the first volume of the manga (partially due to coming in later than the others), but due to her popularity, got a much greater focus from the second volume onward. The 2009 re-release of the manga features Osaka on the cover of the first volume, rather than Chiyo, and she was the namesake for the official fan book released the same year, Osaka Expo. | |

The Shameless | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_ded51fd1 | comment |
The Shameless: No matter what insults are thrown her way about her laziness, poor grades, or Jerkass behavior, Tomo is blissfully oblivious. One example is when, during a Beach Episode, Tomo, hearing Chiyo say that if she'd lost the keys would have them all in trouble, seizes the keys from her and tosses them into a field. While everyone is hunting for the keys, knowing how she has already inconvenienced everyone, says that it'd be funny if she found the keys and tossed them again. Yukari Tanizaki makes Tomo look like an amateur. She Drives Like Crazy, makes unreasonable demands of her childhood friend Nyamo, is not quite The Alcoholic, but near enough that Nyamo worries about her drinking around her students on vacation, and makes bets with other teachers about her student's performances during the Sports Fest (though she at least bets in favor of her own class). She even gives a speech in Engrish about how she is not afflicted with shame, and is merely fascinated by the Japanese view of the subject. Mr. Kimura has absolutely no qualms about telling his students that he became a teacher because he "likes high school girls". He's married and has a daughter, but he openly shows a great deal of interest in Kaorin, despite her constant efforts to rebuff him. | |

Broken Record | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_e085feeb | comment |
Broken Record: A staple of the anime adaptation, which frequently uses repetition to make up for the fast-paced nature of the manga and how poorly that would translate to the screen if adapted literally. This leads to an Overly Long Gag or two quite a bit in the series, with such scenes like Chiyo repeatedly asking Sakaki if she stole her height and Tomo performing the same punchline in a dream ad nauseum for over half a minute. In the manga, one strip starts with Yomi asking Tomo if she recorded a show like she asked her to, only for Tomo to casually admit that she forgot. Yomi calls herself an idiot for trusting Tomo, and Tomo responds by shouting back "idiot!" Tomo then proceeds to keep shouting "idiot!" over and over again, which freaks Yomi out and results in her clutching onto Tomo like she's malfunctioning; the strip is even titled "Broken VCR." | |

Artistic License – Child Labor Laws: In August 1999 and July 2000, Chiyo gets a part-time job at Magnetron Burger despite being ten years old. The manager is fully aware that she's underage, but believes she needed the money and got a fake high school ID to apply. In the 2009 reprint, he instead hires her because she already has encyclopedic knowledge about the restaurant and can recount the prices of specific orders off the top of her head. | |

The Troublemaker | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_e24b2739 | comment |
The Troublemaker: Tomo makes a lot of trouble for everyone, accidentally and on purpose. This includes challenging them to various, often pointless, contests like trying to race Sakaki, or telling her classmates that the illness Yomi suffered that kept her from coming on an outing was because she slept naked (she didn't, but Tomo was happy to spread the story, anyway). The best (worst) example is when the group takes a trip to Chiyo's summer home. Chiyo comments how it would be terrible if she lost the house's only key. Cue Tomo grabbing the key and tossing it into the forest, just for a laugh. | |

| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_e24d2d5c | comment |
Reptiles Are Abhorrent: Played with; one Extra Lessons strip sees Tomo and Osaka approach a group of turtles on their commute specifically to flip them over and watch how cute they look wiggling around on their backs, only for Osaka to remember at the last minute that turtles are covered in germs and shouldn't be touched— right after they had already touched several, still holding a pair in their hands. | |

Art Evolution | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: It took a while for Azuma to perfect the designs of the main characters, and by the time he does his entire style has shifted into a more consistent, rounded appearance. Osaka is the most noticeable difference; her early design has tired Tareme Eyes, but it isn't until around volume 2 that she receives her signature wide-eyed stare. In general, the early issues also rely more on exaggerated proportions to carry the gags, while later ones keep a more grounded style focusing more on facial expressions. In early chapters, Chiyo's pigtails looked more like real hair before they were simplified into their famous bun-shaped appearance. Background art also improves as the manga goes along. Early comics often take place in featureless, blank areas, while the last few feature the meticulously detailed scenery that eventually became a hallmark of Yotsuba&! The tenth anniversary reissue of the manga has a lot of the art redrawn in a style more consistent with Yotsuba&!, with volume 1 in particular receiving the most changes. The new art includes more detailed scenery, and makes Chiyo look a lot like Yotsuba herself. This is also carried over to the new Extra Lessons chapters. As for the anime, the style noticeably changes between the Azumanga Web Daioh pilot (which has designs reasonably accurate to the manga, but with 3D-rendered backgrounds), Azumanga Daioh: The Very Short Movie (which has a very fluidly-animated style with heavier shading and sharper edges), and finally the televised series (which has more limited animation, but characters designs more faithful to the manga). | |

Athletically Challenged | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_e4b4a89e | comment |
Athletically Challenged: Of all the girls in the main cast, Osaka is the worst when it comes to sports. Among other things, she can't pass a volleyball and spikes it sideways when attempting to serve, she claims to struggle with floating in water, and she consistently loses every foot race she partakes in, even when competing against Chiyo, a ten-year-old. Much of this is rooted in her overall poor motor control and lack of flexibility. | |

Flight, Strength, Heart: Parodied in one of Tomo's Imagine Spots where she gives herself Chiyo's intelligence and Sakaki's athletic ability, and Osaka offers her forgetfulness. The theoretical super-Tomo shows up late and without her textbook, but does a triple flip into her seat and gives a perfect translation. | |

Expy | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: Before the manga began, Azuma was well-known among doujin circles for his Neon Genesis Evangelion fanwork; as a result, the early style and characterization of the series takes heavy influence from NGE, though in a much more lighthearted setting. The most obvious expies are Yukari (of Misato, down to the Beergasms), Tomo (of Asuka), and Sakaki (of Rei). All three characters diverge significantly from their sources as Azuma finds his footing, though Yukari still keeps a lot of Misato in her. Azuma also drew several Tenchi Muyo! and Final Fantasy VII doujinshi, and these franchises were also influences on his characters: Chiyo = Sasami, Tomo = Ryoko, Yomi = Ayeka, Osaka = Mihoshi, Sakaki = Tifa, Chihiro = Yuffie. | |

Page-Turn Surprise: In November 2001, Sakaki is attacked by a horde of cats, when suddenly, a cat appears in the way! It isn't immediately identifiable yet, to those who didn't connect it to the foreshadowing and haven't seen the anime. We see a close-up of Sakaki's eyes... and turn the page to find a full page of Chiyo latched on to Sakaki, who's looking down at the Iriomote cat she met on the school trip! | |

The Load | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_e68b72 | comment |
The Load: Chiyo and Osaka in any athletic competition (apart from cheerleading competitions, where Chiyo's cuteness gives her the advantage). Chiyo because she's about three-foot-nothing and fifty pounds soaking wet, and Osaka because she's, you know... Osaka. The "Bonkurazu" ("Blockheads" or "Knuckleheads" depending on the translation) — Tomo, Kagura, and Osaka — in just about anything. Minamo outright calls them "unreliable" in one of the Extra Lessons chapters, since they seemingly can't get anything done without losing focus and goofing off. | |

| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_e7cb46d3 | comment |
Satellite Character: Chihiro to Kaorin, and to Tomo and Yomi early in the manga. Most if not all of her screen time is just her being Kaorin's friend, while in the manga she also started out as a third wheel to Tomo and Yomi's dynamic who was then quickly phased out. Miruchi and Yuka-chan, Chiyo's friends from grade school; their purpose is mostly to be comparative examples of "normal" kids. Kimura's wife to Kimura himself; her ditziness mostly serves to add an extra layer of comedy to Kimura's Jerk with a Heart of Jerk status. | |

Freudian Slip: In February 2002, the girls are studying for entrance exams; Yomi is stressed out because she's already failed two of hers. Tomo tries to warn her that one of her books is going to fall off the table, but accidentally says "Watch out! That's gonna fail—" before covering her mouth and turning away. In the original Japanese text, she nearly says ochiru, which means both "to fall" and "to fail an exam", before catching herself. | |

When Kagura throws a snowball at Chiyo, Sakaki catches the snowball right before it hits Chiyo, swerves around, and immediately throws it right back at Kagura. She just barely misses her, and Kagura even comments on how cool it is. | |

Two-Teacher School: Yukari and Nyamo are, apparently, the only teachers who are invested in their students' personal lives. We do see other teachers, most notably Kimura, but no one wants to remember that one teacher who only appeared in one scene very early on and made Chiyo freak out. There's also a music teacher and second gym teacher seen very briefly in the anime, and in the manga there's an older teacher named Goto who's known Yukari ever since she was a student at the school and tends to still scold her. In the anime he only gets a cameo appearance. | |

Covert Pervert: When Tomo puts Yukari and Minamo on the spot about their love lives, Sakaki quickly re-enters the room and can be seen peeking from behind Yomi and Tomo, while trying to listen in. Then she inches forward to make sure she doesn't miss anything. It gets hilariously subverted the following year (two scenes later in the anime), as she ends up hearing more than she would have liked and couldn't look Minamo in the eye the following morning. Though Yomi and the others were very appreciative. | |

Boke and Tsukkomi Routine | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_eee69e44 | comment |
Boke and Tsukkomi Routine: Tomo usually attempts to fill the role of the boke, though nobody is willing to be her tsukkomi — Yomi, the usual victim, tends to tune her out for her own sanity. In the first episode, when Tomo learns they've got a new transfer student from Osaka, she asks Yomi to be the tsukkomi to her boke, despite her protests. Tomo reacts to Yomi's completely unenthusiastic "nandeyanen?" with a take where she leaps across the room, clearly demonstrating her hyperactive nature. Yukari tries to perform a routine in class with Osaka. After asking Osaka who should play the boke and who should play the Tsukkomi, she hits Osaka over the head for saying she (Yukari) should be the Boke. Chiyo unwittingly plays the tsukkomi to Tomo's boke in one instance, correcting her on the Japanese name for December, leading Tomo and Osaka to protest. | |

Goofy Suit: For the first year's cultural festival, the students design a mascot costume resembling a cat in a bowtie. Tomo goes on a rampage while wearing it, to Yomi's distress. Chiyo asks to wear it, but due to her height, it doesn't fit her well and ends up creeping out Tomo (and later Tadakichi-san, when Chiyo takes it home). Chiyo's asked to wear a penguin mascot costume for the second year's cultural festival, to match the theme of their exhibit (a stuffed animal café). The suit severely limits her mobility, but she's happy to wear it, and everyone around her finds it a major source of Cuteness Proximity. | |

It's A Small Net After All | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_f09d379 | comment |
It's A Small Net After All: Invoked, but actually averted. When Sakaki tries to search for cats on Google, she first enters the generic term "cat" and gets thousands of non-specific results. She then enters "Iriomote cat" (an equally generic term) and the first result shows her a plot-relevant news story about an Iriomote cat, Mayaa's mother, who got ran over by a car. This makes sense; the Iriomote cat is a critically endangered species, so the recent death of one would be a leading news story and a high-ranking search result. | |

Keep It Foreign | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_f22f395f | comment |
Keep It Foreign: In the English dub of the anime, Yukari becomes a "language teacher." It's the same for the first issue of the translated manga. The second issue got a new localization team and switched to her being an English teacher, though some other English-language gags are inexplicably changed to French and German. The Yen Press omnibus also keeps her as an English teacher. | |

Real Men Take It Black: Yomi, who otherwise has a serious Sweet Tooth, takes her coffee black, prompting Chiyo to comment on how mature she is. Tomo implies that this is a recent switch Yomi made for one of her diets, which is quickly confirmed when Yomi tastes it and mutters "yuck" under her breath. | |

Sitting on the Roof: In the manga, the group sit on the roof to each lunch one time, with Chiyo having to hold Osaka back from attempting to jump off and float on the breeze. In the anime, there's a second example where Tomo, Osaka, and Chiyo all fall asleep on the roof. Minamo is not happy. | |

Drives Like Crazy | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_f96f188c | comment |
Yukari Tanizaki makes Tomo look like an amateur. She Drives Like Crazy, makes unreasonable demands of her childhood friend Nyamo, is not quite The Alcoholic, but near enough that Nyamo worries about her drinking around her students on vacation, and makes bets with other teachers about her student's performances during the Sports Fest (though she at least bets in favor of her own class). She even gives a speech in Engrish about how she is not afflicted with shame, and is merely fascinated by the Japanese view of the subject. | |

Food and Body Comparison: In a scene exclusive to the anime adaptation, episode 22 features two nearly identical scenes that bookend the girls' summer vacation in August 2001. In both of these scenes, Kagura shows her chest to Osaka after the latter inquires about her tan, with Osaka commenting on the sight before Yomi tells Kagura not to take her seriously. In the second version of the scene, Osaka asks Kagura if her tan makes her look like broiled saury (a type of edible fish common in the ocean waters near Japan), and after getting a look at her breasts, she compares the sight to "big bowls of pea rice." | |

| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_fa4cfe0e | comment |
Translation Punctuation: Because the manga focuses on a group of classmates in an ESL class, Gratuitous English is fairly common. While some translations opt to Keep It Foreign, the Yen Press translation instead uses guillemets (« and ») to distinguish when the Japanese cast is speaking in English. | |

Cherry Blossoms: Prevalent in episode 19, as a means of tying into its more tranquil atmosphere compared to the rest of the series (it being original to the anime adaptation). The anime's credits sequence also features cherry blossoms quite a bit, tying into the soft tone of the closing song "Raspberry Heaven". | |

Brick Joke | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: After Osaka mentions she can't eat spicy foods in episode 2, Yomi tricks her into eating a croquette flavoured with cayenne pepper. During Yukari's rant about rewards for winning the sports festival in episode 15, Osaka mentions that a cayenne pepper is a type of chili pepper to Kagura. Kagura obviously doesn't get it. In the third beach episode, Osaka says she's jealous of Sakaki's large breasts. Tomo responds, saying she's been growing too. Osaka reminds Tomo that she was put in the same chest size group as her and Chiyo by Yomi in episode 4, much to Tomo's dismay. One that only appears in the anime as a result of some slight Adaptation Expansion. When Yukari decides to make the class play sports instead of learning English, Osaka suggests that her team be called Team Sea Slug in an anime-exclusive gag, much to Chiyo and Kaorin's dismay. Later, during the class trip to Okinawa, Osaka finds some sea slugs while diving and starts playing with them in a bit carried over from the manga; Chiyo still isn't amused. One of Sakaki's encounters with the biting cat is cut off by Kagura whacking the cat on the head, which scares it off; when Sakaki asks if it's possible to just talk out the issue, Kagura responds by pointing out that you can't talk to cats. Later, after Sakaki adopts Mayaa, she tries to take Kagura's advice to heart by whacking him for slashing Tomo's hand open, only for everyone else to respond that Tomo deserved it for treating him like a toy. Both times it's played for comedy. Osaka gets hay fever every March, with gags focused on the odd way she sneezes (generally written as "hechyo"). When graduation rolls around in March of their final year, there's a tiny "hechyo" in the audience, with everyone wondering what it was. | |

Ephebophile: Kimura states that he became a teacher because he likes high school girls. In fact, Osaka asks him in the manga whether Chiyo really counts as a High School girl, since she's so much more a Grade Schooler. He insists: "High School is High School". Later on in the manga, a scene comes up featuring Nyamo and Yukari dressed as high school students to participate in a costume race. In one of his most hilarious moments, Mr. Kimura comes out of nowhere—dressed as a high school student himself—to give 'Yukari-senpai' a love letter. Perhaps he just has a fetish for school uniforms. | |

The Idiot from Osaka | |
| Azumanga Daioh (Manga) / int_ff191f42 | comment |
The Idiot from Osaka: The overarching joke of Osaka is that she subverts the "loud, fast-talking, money-grubbing Osakan" stereotype, instead being a soft-spoken space cadet. Tomo expects her to be this trope and frets about having a rival, yet seems disappointed when she doesn't fit the bill. Osaka wasn't even born in Osaka — she was born in Wakayama and lived in Kobe and Osaka briefly. | |

Old Maid: Yukari, despite being in her mid-20s (which is, in Japan, the point where she would be expected to settle down), is implied to have never been in any romantic or sexual relationships, unlike Nyamo, who admits while drunk to having been very active in those departments. Ironically, Nyamo has similar issues with maintaining steady relationships and even wishes to get married during her New Year's shrine visit (according to Yukari). | |
