Class is in session for the long-awaited comedy series Azumanga Daioh! Join charming Chiyo-chan, closet softie Sakaki, rambunctious Tomo, studious Yomi, bashful Kaorin, and oblivious Osaka as they brave instructors at the fringes of sanity, dodge murderous volleyballs, and grapple with unceasing homework, ultra-impossible quizzes, and an unrelenting case of hiccups that makes for some rather hilarious “cures!” And that’s just beginning! So crack open those books, copy those notes, and get ready for a serious lesson in laughter with Azumanga Daioh!” (Quoted from the ADV Films Sypnosis for the Anime Series)
