    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The title of the show is essentially meaningless. The comic strip on which the show is based was written by Azuma Kiyohiko, and "Azumanga" is an amalgalm of his name and "manga", the Japanese word for comic books. "Daioh" comes from "Dengeki Daioh" ("Great Electric Shock King"), the monthly Japanese comic anthology in which the comics originally ran.

      • [Osaka is looking around the classroom, turning her head, eyes wandering in a crazy pattern, unfocused]
      • Kaorin: Osaka? What are you doing?
      • Ayumu 'Osaka' Kasuga: [still moving her eyes and head about] You know those tiny bubbles inside your eyes you sometimes catch? Yeah, I'm trackin' 'em down as we speak.
      • Kaorin: [dumbfounded] ... I see. Goooood luck with that.
      • Ayumu 'Osaka' Kasuga: [distantly, carrying on] Uh-huh. Uh, thank you...
