Azumanga Daioh (あずまんが大王, Azumanga Daiō?) is a Japanese comedy manga written and illustrated by Kiyohiko Azuma, originally published in MediaWorks' seinen magazine Dengeki Daioh[2] from 1999 to 2002. It was drawn as a series of vertical four-panel comic strips called yonkoma and depicts the lives of a group of high-school girls during their three years as classmates.
It was adapted as an anime, Azumanga Daioh: the Animation, which was produced by J.C.Staff[3] and aired from April 8, 2002 until September 30, 2002. It was broadcast on TV Tokyo, TV Aichi, TV Osaka, and AT-X[4] in five-minute segments every weekday, then repeated as a 25-minute compilation that weekend, for a total of 130 five-minute segments collected in 26 episodes. The compilation episodes, which were the only versions to include the title and credits sequences, were released on VHS and DVD by Starchild Records;[5] the five-minute segments can be distinguished by their individual titles.
