( ) I had read this series before when I was a kid, but revisiting it I think I have a lot greater appreciation for the subtleties of the humor now than then. There were a lot of parts of this that made me laugh super hard, and if I'm being honest most of them were Osaka's lines, I didn't remember anything about her character from the first read through but I think this time she was definitely the funniest, if not my favorite. It's kind of hard to keep track of the characters the first time around, cuz they all have the same face and so you basically have to use hairstyles to tell them apart, but that gives the series high re-read value cuz at this point I'm very familiar with all of them. Sakaki was always my favorite because she's so relatable, but honestly so much of this comic is so frank and candid about feminist topics i'm almost surprised it was written by a man. I say almost because the worst part of this were Mr Kimura's parts, I don't really think that he added anything and it's terrifying the way his character normalizes straight up pedophilia. So that's a MAJOR detractor from this series. To end on a positive note though, something I didn't remember as a kid was all the sapphic subtext (or more than subtext!!) between Ms. Yukari/Ms. Kurosawa, and Sakaki/Kaorin. It was cool how much of a non-issue it was, and I can't see books written in 2021 putting lesbian representation in without the author smugly patting themselves on the back for it. So that was absolutely a breath of fresh air! Reading this brought back so many nostalgic feelings and I'm excited to revisit the rest. Cute and funny stories about a group of girls in high school. I'm reading these with my almost 11-year-old daughter. Azuma's use of the four-panel strip format gives the story a fast pace yet still allows it to develop beyond a series of gags. Unlike Yotsuba& this series is for older readers and while most of it is very sweet there is a running subplot about a creepy male teacher that's played for laughs. I don't care for this series at all so I'm stopping at volume 1. My older son loaned this book to me saying that he really likes the anime of this series, and I should like this manga because it's really silly. I can't keep the characters straight, except for Chiyo-chan. I like her because she reminds me of five-year-old Yotsuba in another series that I like much better by the same author. I am missing much of the humor in this book. I don't like the four strips down because some of them carry on to other four-strips, and some four-strips stand alone. It's all very confusing to me. Mr. Kimura is a despicable and creepy character. He's a high school teacher who gets his kicks by hanging around the teenage girls he is supposed to be teaching. Ugh! I have to add here that this series has an extremely high rating and is mostly loved by other readers. Oh. well! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

It's not manga, it's Azumanga (and it's smart, fun and totally addictive)! Created by the iconoclastic Kiyohiko Azuma (hence the name), Azumanga Daioh is strongly character driven, telling the story of a group of high-school girls and their hilarious daily tribulations.
