[edit] Introduction
Azumanga Daioh is an anime and manga series created by Kiyohiko Azuma. Notably for its unique approach and nearly all-girl cast of characters, it has spawned three distinctive stylistic movements in its fandom.
[edit] About
[edit] The AzuFic
Although there have been many Azumangah Daioh fanfictions published, the AzuFic is distinguished by following the characteristic pattern of one of the anime episodes, in which a comic theme is stated and then riffed upon as opposed to following a typical story progression.
[edit] Shoujo-ai
Since virtually the entire cast is female, a large proportion of shoujo ai and femslash has been written in this fandom. Aside from the two principal teachers, Yukari and Nyamo, the most popular pairing among the students has been the Tomo/Yomi pairing.
[edit] The Recast Stories
One of the major themes of many stories is to cast the Azumanga Daioh characters in stories from other genres in place of the original characters. The best known example, Azumanga Daioh IN SPACE! by X to the Zoltan, is a re-working of the original Star Wars trilogy.
