Azumanga Daioh chronicles the every day life of six female high school student and two of their teachers. Chiyo Mihama, a ten year old child prodigy, she some times struggles to fit in with the other girls; Sakaki, who is obsessed with cute animals even though they hate her; Ayumu "Osaka" Kasuga, a spacey girl who has a skewed perception of the world; Koyomi "Yomi" Mizuhara who is aggretive toward her annoying best friend; Tomo Takino, her energy is only rivaled by her lack of sense; Kagura, very sporty and has a one sided athletic rivalry with Sakaki; Yukari Tanizaki, their home room teacher; and Minamo "Nyamo" Kurosawa, the physical education teacher.
The secondary character are Kimura-sensei, a creepy male teacher who is obsessed with teenage girls, and Kaorin, a female classmate who has a crush on Sakaki.The story covers three years of tests, talking between classes, culture festivals, and athletiv events at school. Also, the time spent traveling to and from school, studying, vacations at Chiyo's summer beach house and at a theme park called Magical Land. The story ends with the main cast graduating, and their plans for the future. The story general has a realistic tone, but has occasional bursts of surrealism and absurdity. Such as, Osaka imagining Chiyo's ponytails being "unscrewed" from her head and an episode showing all the character's New Years dreams.
Azumanga Daioh is a sweet story about a group of friends going through high school. It can be goofy at times, but always cute and funny. The girls all have their own personalities that work well with each other. They all are friends have enjoy being around each other.I recommend this to any one who wants an easy read. It light fun and cute.
Next week I'll be doing Trigun.
