A wonderful heartfelt ending to one of my favorite series. Azumanga is such a lovely and adorable manga, and it's entire four-volume run was near perfect, in my opinion.

This series as a whole is very cute! I really enjoyed them and I would highly recommend them for middle school aged girls. I absolutely loved that Sakaki finally got a cat in this volume. That's really all I care about haha.

Azumanga Daioh is a 4-panel manga that follows a group of girls from the start of 10th grade through graduation. I was pleasantly surprised at the continuity, as I'd expected each strip to be separate and random. The humor is what I'd expect from the author of Yotsuba&!, that is, absolutely hilarious. Everything is silly about this, from the ten-year-old genius who skips ahead to 10th grade, to the skeevy male teacher who says he wanted to become a teacher because he likes high school girls, yet

I loved the Azumanga Diaoh anime and always think of it fondly, so I was worried to read this series, fearing it wouldn't live up to what I remember. After reading volume 1 I was feeling less than confident that I was going to like this series, but I had the same issue when I started the anime. And, just like with the anime, the more I read the more I loved it. Osaka is great! And Chiyo is adorable. And I would recommend this series to anyone.

The series was cute and covered a lot of brief little stories - some students succeeded in a goal and others just carelessly floated by as they intended. The teachers never seemed to evolve during the three year period, but there is almost an expectation that once you become an adult, you are relatively static in your ways. I will definitely check out this mangaka's other works.

The hilarious and touching conclusion. School trips, graduation, and college exams. But above all, lasting friendships.
I’m a bit sad that it’s over, but three years goes by fast. Sorry Kaorin, you still didn’t get much page time. But it’s official, Sakaki is my favorite character.
This series has 4 volumes.

I feel like the manga only really starts hitting its potential towards the end, when it softens and really lets the characters experience Good things - still within this comedic context, of course, and still in Azuma's soft, weird pattern of setup and not-necessarily-a-punchline. (Plus, Kimura-sensei hardly appears at all in this volume! Yaaaaay @@)

In their last year of high school! the class goes on its Senior year field trip to Osaka. Chiyo chan and Osaka have fun saying everything in Osakan (with words taken from their tour literature). Sakaki finds a cat that is drawn to her, its a rare endangered Iriomite cat--or Yamapikarya--a spotted wildcat with rounded ears. They are the size of domestic cats but very rare. They leave it on the island. The next week Sakaki is about to be ganged up on by several angry cats and 1 cat comes to her re

This was such a great book overall, and I loved it the whole series through! It's so sad to have it end. But what I like to say is when something ends, it's really the start of a new beginning.
***** Stars for this volume, and the overall series! ...more

This one was definitely my favourite out of the four. It kind of made me feel sad, seeing them all finishing their school days and all. But what made it the best, I think, was (view spoiler) It was the best!

This is so wonderful series that I want it! Although there were some jokes that didn't work because they were translated into Finnish. It would have also been nice if they would have left all of the -san, -sensei, etc. endings in the translation.

This was a light and fluffy finish to a light and fluffy series. If you're looking for something fun and the exact opposite of serious, I recommend this series.
