The good news is, there's now a great new way to experience this series. ADV recently released Azumanga Daioh: The Omnibus, collecting the entire series in one volume. Financially, it's a no brainer. All four volumes of the original series will run you about $40, but the hefty omnibus, which prints on larger paper, comes in at a solid $25. Granted, you might get a hernia from trying to lift the sucker, but you'll get that from laughing at the storylines anyhow. The convenience of having it all in one volume seems to be the only real advantage, as I saw nothing major in the way of additional material, save for some explanatory material at the end to explain some of the jokes that might fly over a Western reader's head. Still, a cheaper price tag on larger paper is enough to bring me on board, and hopefully will open the door for anyone curious about the series to take the plunge. Read Full Review
