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.

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

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.

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.

Both are cute school mangas.

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.

Mikubon addpermalink

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

Slice-of-life 4-koma with quirky schoolgirls hanging out together and awesome comedic timing.

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.

Both are really relaxing comedy mangas about groups of friends.

Seitokai Yakuindomo addpermalink

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.

Hidamari Sketch addpermalink

Both are series about the day to day lives of high school girls. They both feature a cast of quirky characters and both have a laid back feeling. Both series also share a similar sense of humor. If you like one you're sure to like the other!

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.

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.

Tori Koro addpermalink

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

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. 

reportRecommended by doubletaco

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!
