Azumanga Daioh
Azumanga Daioh chronicles everyday life in an unnamed Japanese high school in Tokyo, following the trials and triumphs of six girls: reserved Sakakis obsession with cute animals, Chiyos struggle to fit in with girls five years older, Osakas spacey nature and skewed perspective on the world, Yomis aggravation at an annoying best friend, Tomo, whose energy is rivaled only by her lack of sense, and Kaguras efforts in sports and school. The story covers three years of tests, culture festivals, and athletic events at school, after-school life at the nearby shopping district, at Chiyos large house, vacations spent at Chiyos summer home on the beach and at Magical Land, a theme park. It is generally realistic in tone, marked by occasional bursts of surrealism and absurdity, such as Osakas bizarre imaginings and an episode featuring the characters New Years dreams.
