Chihiro

Chihiro made her comics debut in the very first issue of A.D. Vision's Azumanga Daioh in 2003, stepping onto the page during the Modern Age alongside a charming ensemble that includes Sakaki, Yomi, Kaorin, and the irrepressible Miss Yukari. The series had a brief but beloved run, and while Chihiro's four catalogued appearances keep her footprint modest, she's part of one of the most warmly regarded slice-of-life manga adaptations to reach Western readers in that era. For fans of the title, tracking down every character in this tight-knit cast is half the fun — and Chihiro is a genuine piece of that puzzle.
