History Manga / AzumangaDaioh

It's also notable for demonstrating that a manga and anime about high school girls can be popular and profitable by focusing on their personalities [[FanService instead of their bodies]], starting a trend [[LuckyStar which]] [[HidemariSketch continues]] [[KOn to]] [[AXChannel this]] [[Hitohira day]].

The title combines the author's name (Kiyohiko Azuma) with the word "manga" and the name of its original publisher (''Dengeki Daioh'' magazine) -- it can be read as the Japanese equivalent of an acronym for "Azuma's Comic Strip For Daioh Magazine" (''Dengeki Daioh'' being a magazine aimed mainly at [[{{Shonen}} younger teenage boys]], the general theme of the strip was to poke gentle fun at the audience's female classmates -- "Man, teenage girls are ''weird''...").

* PuppeteerParasite: Osaka thinks Chiyo-cha's pigtails are controlling her. To be fair, this was in a dream, and Osaka is... [[CloudCuckoolander Osaka]].

* ADayInTheLimelight: The six main girls all get one, while Nyamo and Yukari share one. [[SpotlightStealingSquad Sakaki gets several]].

* TheLinus: Chiyo, acing test after test while failing to understand sexual stuff any teenage girl would know by heart already.

* CompletelyMissingThePoint: Tomo fails to do some small favor for Yomi, who comments that she was stupid for having asked at all. Cue mockery of Yomi's "stupidity."
