☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe fourth volume of the beloved slice-of-life manga series continues the daily adventures of Chiyo, Osaka, Sakaki, Tomo, Yomi, Kagura, and their eccentric teachers at a Japanese high school. This collection wraps up the girls' final year, capturing their graduation, lingering crushes, and the bittersweet farewells that mark the end of an era. A.D. Vision's English edition preserves the quirky humor and gentle character moments that define Azumanga Daioh's enduring charm.
In "June Part-1," Sakaki is shaken after reading online about the death of an Iriomote wildcat—her old friend from the class trip—only to be ambushed by Kamineko, who’s gathered the stray cats into a gang. Just as things turn dire, a surprising ally steps in to help. Written by Kiyohiko Azuma and illustrated by Azuma with inks by the same, this 2004 issue from A.D. Vision features a cover by Kiyohiko Azuma and a team of artists including Jorge Alvarado, Shannon Rasberry, and others.
In "October Part-1," the school's sports competition takes an unexpected turn as Osaka prepares for the bread-eating contest with unorthodox dedication, Mr. Kimura rallies the girls with a spirited cheer for their new athletic costumes, and Tomo’s usual antics keep everyone on edge—just as the season begins to shift.
In "October Part-2," Yukari’s class edges ahead in the cheerleading competition thanks to Chiyo’s undeniable charm, but the final event brings a tense showdown with Nyamo’s team. With the outcome hanging in the balance, Yukari’s nerves reach a breaking point over the thought of losing to Nyamo.
In "November Special," Sakaki is struck by a news story about an Iriomote wildcat’s death—her old friend from the class trip—just as she’s riding home with Chiyo. Their quiet moment is shattered when Kamineko, leading a gang of stray cats, ambushes them. But just as things look dire, a familiar face appears to intervene.
In "January Part-2," the girls gather at Chiyo's house to study for college entrance exams, with Chiyo—already having passed—doing her best to guide them despite her own lack of urgency. The quiet chaos of their study session unfolds with familiar humor, as each girl brings her own brand of distraction and determination to the table.
Chiyo’s valedictorian speech leaves the audience breathless, while Yukari shares a heartfelt farewell with her homeroom. Yomi receives unexpected news that lifts her spirits, and the six friends step forward together into what comes next—each with their own quiet hopes and shared memories.
