Yotsuba to! addpermalink

Yotsuba reads like a heavily remixed version of Azumanga Daioh.  Both are by Kiyohiko Azuma, and both should be prescribed remedies for the blues.  Nothing on earth is a more potent cheerer-upper than Azuma's works =)))

Well, what's not similar? They are made by the same mangaka. They are both slice-of-life stories featuring young girls... doing strange, stupid, random, but funny things. And doesn't Chiyo-chan remind you of Yotsuba? (Facial wise... they have completely different... IQ points...)

Same author and same feel~ Both have cute characters and good laughs. 

reportRecommended by Tavia-chan

An obvious read for fans of the Azugirls. While Yotsuba doesn't have Osaka, it does have a nice flow and whatnot from not being in the 4-koma format. It also features the titular character of Yotsuba, who is slightly reminiscent of Chiyo, mixed with all the curiosity of a five year old.

They are both written by the same author, Kiyohiko  Azuma, are slice-of-life style manga's, are mostly centered around female characters, and have no real deep plot to them, while still being an entertaining and adorable read.

 Both of these series are written by Kiyohiko Azuma, though "Azumanga Daioh" is generally a yonkoma-style manga (four-panel) and "Yotsubato!"/"Yotsuba&!" is not. Both are slice of life, cute and generally innocent. They are comical and rarely ever get very serious or romantic, but the characters are memorable and fun. "Azumanga Daioh" has already ended and "Yotsubato!" is still being written.  

reportRecommended by PrincessN

This is actually very simple. They are both similar, comedic and childish. They both are also from the same mangaka. Yotsuba& is maybe a little more childish than Azumanga Daioh. They are both very easy and quick to read. :3 

reportRecommended by SpiritH0shi

While pretty much a given, Azumanga Daioh and Yotsuba to! encapsulate the fun in the mundane, brimming with innocence from writer Kiyohiko Azuma. If you love either of these series, then you'll definitely enjoy the other.

- Same author

- Focuses on comedy 

- But one is aimed at older audiences and the other is suitable for all ages

- Both develop good character relations and interactions

Do you like Kiyohiko Azuma? His early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Azumanga Daioh came out in '99, I think he really came into his own, commercially and artistically. The whole series has a clear timing, eccentric sense of humor, and a new sheen of slice of life genre that really gives the manga a big boost. He's been compared to Arawi Keichii, but I think Azuma has a far more lighthearted sense of humor. In '03, Azuma released this, Yotsubato, his most accomplished manga series that is still ongoing to this day. I think that manga is his undisputed masterpiece, a manga so comforting, most people probably don't care about the plot continuity. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the author himself. read more

Azumanga Daioh and Yotsuba to! both share the same situational comedy style of humor that you commonly find in your usual slice of life 4-koma manga series, while also having Kiyohiko Azuma's absurd and unique art style that makes the jokes land in both series land a lot harder and feel so much more charming. 

Both series share the fact that they're very easy to recommend and get into, even to anime watchers who would probably prefer to watch something over reading something. If I were to get an anime fan to start reading manga, and they already like the Azumanga Daioh anime, I would recommend them the Azumanga Daioh manga and then Yotsuba right after because of how easy Azuma's paneling in both works' is to follow, how similar the eccentric humor and familiar charm is, and the unique funny looking art style. read more

Nichijou addpermalink

Both are school comedies in a 4-koma format.

Very similar humor and the inspiration from Azumanga Daioh is very clear in Nichijou.

Nichijou is far more episodic and has some sci-fi elements, but the overall feel is the same.

Ashita wa Doyoubi addpermalink

Fun school time with friends. Azumanga Daioh and Tomorrow's Saturday follow schoolgirls in peculiar situations and everyday antics in a daily schedule.

Though, with both manga based on the same foundations, Azumanga Daioh is much more adventurous and crazed than Tomorrow's Saturday.

Both are heartwarming manga with Tomorrow's Saturday being a spin-off of Takagi-san and Azumanga Daioh being a widely known and loved manga by Kiyohiko Azuma.

Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun addpermalink

Both are humorous 4-koma set in high school. Azumanga Daioh doesn't have a romantic subplot, but it'll be sure to tickle your fancy if you enjoyed Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun and its humour.

Joshikousei no Mudazukai addpermalink

Stupidly fun high school life. Azumanga Daioh and Wasteful Days of High School Girl both follow high school girl groups forming a hilarious combination, in which, they all experience a silly, but fun high school life.

Both mangas have characters with similar personalities too such as, the weird teacher, the stoic and the idiot.

Both are good comedy manga with Wasteful Days being more comedic than Azumanga Daioh, which can feel a little more adventurous.

Joshi Kousei life. Both Aiura and Azumanga follow the lives of high school girls in their groups following the regular high school life.

Both are entertaining as each other, being more or less similar in aspects such as characters and story

Both are great, comedic series. The jokes are similar and some characters are also similar to each other. Mikubon is still must-read to Vocaloid fans, even if you didn´t like Azumanga Daioh

Love Roma addpermalink

Although the plots aren't very much like each other (AD is not romantic), I think these 2 series are quite similar in tone, as both show tiny little developments in the characters each chapter. They're also both very heartwarming in their own way without being sickly sweet.

GA: Geijutsuka Art Design Class addpermalink

These two manga are both random, lighthearted, cute, high school girl slice-of-life comedies. The mood of these manga are very similar and sometimes even the characters. Also, Azumanga Daioh has a broad, random range of subject matter while GA is more art-based, so the change of subject matter can be refreshing.

Both are top notch slice of life 4-koma mangas.

Wa! addpermalink

They are both in a school setting and "slice of life", if you like "Wa!" chances are high that you will like "Azumanga Daioh" as well. They both have the same kind of humor and Azumanga is as easy to go through as Wa is.

I feel that its one of those manga where you can take everything for face value; its not very heavy plot-wise and its simplistic nature is very relaxing and enjoyable.

Hope this helps!

Sonna Mirai wa Uso de Aru addpermalink

Both series are nice slice of life, though Azumanga is bit more on impact gags while Sonna Mirai wa Uso de Aru is bit more light hearted both series are good light read.

They both have the same kind of feel. A group of girls just goofing around a lot. Except in Seitokai there's one boy in the group and all the girls make really dirty jokes constantly.

Kyoukan Astro addpermalink

S.S. ASTRO is basically what you would get if the girls in Azumanga Daioh all grew up and became high school teachers. Same brand of humor, only in a (slightly) more mature light.
