Nichijou, Vol. 1 by Keiichi Arawi
1.0
...Basically, from what I can tell, this series REALLY wants to be Azumanga Daioh.
The problem is, it isn't. At all.
In Azumanga Daioh, we get the quirky interactions of basically normal high school girls who could be a little kooky (Tomo, Yomi), or outright eccentric and weird especially when it comes to dreams and daydreams (Osaka). In Nichijou...everyone is weird, and in ways that aren't really comprehensible. Azumanga Daioh excels in being a cute, humorous "slice of life" style story. This series...seems like it wants to be cute, humorous slice of life, but it's just waaaay too out there in too many ways to be funny (in fact, I'd go so far as to call it "un-funny"), relatable, or even cute.
