Azumanga Daioh is a Japanese comedic manga by Kiyohiko Azuma. It was published in the young adult manga magazine Dengeki Daioh by MediaWorks from 1999 until 2002, after which it was gathered into four bound volumes and made available to the public. In May 2009, in celebration with the manga's tenth anniversary, three new chapters began publication in Shogakukan's Monthly Shnen Sunday under the title Azumanga Daioh: Supplementary Lessons. These chapters were published under the title Azumanga Daioh: Supplementary Lessons. The manga is presented in a format known as yonkoma, which is a sequence of vertical comic strips consisting of four panels each. It follows the lives of a group of girls as they progress through their three years as classmates in high school. Kiyohiko Azuma has been regarded as a "master of the four-panel form" for both his art style and comic timing, and the series has been commended for the hilarity that is driven by its oddball characters. Azumanga Daioh: the Animation, which was produced by J.C.Staff and shown on television from the week of April 8, 2002 until the week of September 30, 2002, is an adaptation of this manga that was turned into an anime series. It was shown on the TV Tokyo network and AT-X in five-minute chunks every weekday, and then it was shown again as a 25-minute compilation that weekend. In total, there were a total of thirteen hundred and twenty five-minute segments contained within twenty-six episodes. Starchild Records distributed the compilation episodes via DVD and Universal Media Discs; each of the five-minute pieces has a unique title that may be used to differentiate it from the others on the disc. In addition to the three Azumanga Daioh video games, there were also several soundtrack albums that were made available.
