(あずまんが大王 [Azumanga Daioh] #2)
by
It's not manga, it's Azumanga (and it's smart, fun and totally addictive)! Created by the iconoclastic Kiyohiko Azuma (hence the name), Azumanga Daioh is strongly character driven, telling the story of a group of high-school girls and their hilarious daily tribulations.

Even better than the first volume! Some of my favorite scenes are in this volume, mostly coming from Osaka, Sakaki and Tomo. Azumanga keeps being a wonderful feel-good comedy manga and is a great way to cheer up on a cold autumn day!

Azumanga Daioh Vol.2 is even more amusing than the first volume and it's mostly due to Miss Yukari's crazy antics. The second volume kicks off in January with the gang returning from winter holidays. Lucky for us, this motley group entertains us with all their hilarious monkey business all the way into August, ending the volume with summer break.
For a series with nary a plot, it is superbly entertaining and leaves you with such a happy feeling (like being smothered in puppy kisses) ...more

A 4-koma manga filled with comedy and craziness. Very random.
At points the comedy had me laughing, and at others, it didn't really hit me. The comedy, however, was funnier in this volume.
Every strip has comedy in it, whether you realize it or not, marking this book as down right comedy.
***** Stars, and I will be advancing on!
Has anyone else noticed that Tomo's hair keeps getting longer??
SPOILER SCENE!! IT'S A REALLY FUNNY ONE!!
Tomo: "Adult relationships involve sex, right?"

I thought the first volume took some getting into, when I put it down and picked this one up, it just "flowed". Sakaki is my favorite character, playing with Japanese schoolgirl stereotypes. Also, I like cats. The dream sequences are hilarious (The creepy cat-dad thing!) and really get across immature "school girl" humor. Half of the time I wasn't laughing because the joke was funny, but laughing that the characters thought it was funny. It's a very difficult thing for an author to do that, and

Always a good re-read as well!
Took me a while, but I worked through another volume.
As before, there's a lot that's taken from the anime, so when I think about it the scenes from the anime are what I think about. The book ends with the trip to Chiyo-chan's family's vacation home and the summer festival, where Nyamo gets drunk and explains the Facts Of Life to some of the students. One of the funniest strips in the book is entitled 大人の世界 ("Adults' World") and has no dialogue, just Tomo and Ōsaka listening and becoming increasi ...more

The antics continue with more page space for some of the newer characters like Kagura. It’s also easier to tell the characters apart now that the art style is settling into a more stable pattern. The only character that still throws me for a loop is Kaorin. If you don’t know who I’m talking about, you’re in the same boat.
This end of this volume also has the famous scene featured on Anime America (look them up on YouTube, they’re great). The drunken sex ed lesson. Don’t worry though, the dirty st ...more

A reread.
The first one is funnier than this but still entertained me.
Tomo is always the funniest, craziest, weirdest. I feel like seeing part of myself on her lol

This was another cute, light, and at times funny title in the series. I enjoyed it more than volume 1, so I will continue on with volume 3.
Very funny manga with further adventures of the class, each of which has their own funny personalities. Mr. Kimura, the creepy teacher actually has a pretty wife which amazes everyone. Some of the characters have funny dreams. For summer vacation, Tomo is even more obnoxious, throwing the key to Chiyo-Chan's parents beach house in the bushes and keeping everyone up all night and getting up early. Sakaki still pines for an animal, the normally sober p.e. teacher Miss Kurosawa has to drink too muc

Absolutely adorable! I read it so fast, it's a shame I don't have the next volumes yet. All the characters have their own particularity and make their group of friends unique, and I love this about Azumanga Daioh.
The only thing that really bothers me is that creepy professor - whose name I forgot, but anyways. He's always making coments about the girls, and is portrayed as a pervert, so I don't like the comedic way he's seen. It would be better if he didn't exist at all, tbh. ...more

6.5/10
My general thoughts about the series are here.
This second volume was a bit less funny to me than the first, maybe because of the repetitive patterns. Also, in this volume there is not always a gag at every strip, like at the beginning of the series. Sometimes the same gag is constructed over two or three strips.
Anyhow, still a nice reading to put a smile on your face!

This was just okay. Maybe 2.5 stars. The underlying obsession with the size of the breasts of a lead character I thought a bit much. The lecherous teacher a stereotype. It clouds what could be a decent story. My students haven't flocked to this series, but maybe by the copyright this is dated material.

The translation here is better than it was in the first volume, but still a little stiff. The humor is more fun and more thoughtful, as well, but it's still a little cliched, with some easy "breast size" jokes. It's interesting to see this as a step toward the later absolute genius of Yotsuba&; it's also instructive to look at how the anime took these jokes and made them shine.

this is way cute! I enjoyed volume 2 more than 1, probably because I was already familiar with the characters. i still love Sakaki the most, but i grew to like the other characters a lot more. I think I would have given this 5 stars if it weren't for kimura. I just hate creepy characters like him, totally unnecessary!

This is a fun series to read! The characters are so cute, and the humorous situations made me chuckle. However, the first volume, and especially this volume, contain some inappropriate jokes. I would not recommend for even a 13 year old to read this. Older readers, read with caution.
As with the first Azumanga Daioh, the series continues to capture the quirky personalities, antics, and experiances of the characters. Yukari, in particular, is very amusing. But she's always that way, isn't she? Ahhh.... you have to love Azumanga Daioh.

i love this manga... since all the main characters are girls, it reminds me a lot of my high school days... totally recommended. ^^
HILARIOUS AND A ONE OF A KIND!
This one is just as good as the first and maybe better. I love the new jokes that they put into this one. But the 3rd must be better!
Funny, but not amazing. Too much perv humour.
so funny. sakaki and cats is my favorite running gag. mr. kimura horrifies me, but the sight of his square mouth always cracks me up.
i would love to read it
Comical, cute, still to many boob jokes.
As cute as the first volume, this had me laughing out loud. It's just a lot of fun.

In addition to Natsuki Takaya, Bisco Hatori, and Aya Nakahara, Kiyohiko Azuma is one of my all-time favorite mangakas. He's so talented! I love Azumanga Daioh and Yotsuba&!, they are so amazing:)
