Kiyohiko Azuma’s classic school life manga Azumanga Daioh has recently received a special reprint, which is in fact more of a remake. Some 60% of the illustrations are said to have been redrawn, and Sakaki’s service bikini has received an upgrade.
All this is well received by fans, especially considering how easy it would have been to make only token modifications.

It kinda bugs me. It's like George Lucas trying to remaster Star Wars...
I'll take the one on the left.
doesn't make much of a diff. if its the same story i don't care
I thought bikini sakaki on the right is much better. wth is that huge space and weird water balloon breasts?
You've never seen real boobs.
Or he has never seen ugly boobs?
me and my adv azumanga daioh omnibus got nervous, but the new and old seem fairly equal in quality, which is a relief.
The old Sakaki in that picture has leaky boobs. They're all floppin' around, not attractive. Glad to see those saggy, underfilled bloatsacs have gone by the wayside.
And the boy on the bike has become a girl now! I wonder how he feels about that.
The old one looks way better. WTF?
But I already bought the whole thing the first time around!
...Ah hell, who am I kidding. I'm a sucker for all things Sakaki-san.
FUCK YA OSAKA!! :D
hmmm. . . .
i don't know why. . but i much prefer with the old one. .
Wait what? The manga is getting a reprint? This is news to me...
cute bikini =3
I prefer the old version on the left except for the bikini xD
I want to thank whoever made the decision to give Sakaki more cleavage!
SHISAA YAIBEMI!!!
SATA ANDAGI!!!
CHAMPURU!!!
PI..pi.. pikanyaa?
XD
who cares if you don't like the new sakaki bikini, look at the updated strips, that should change your mind on whether this version is better or not (answer: yes of course)
Of course not. Fixed
Nice, though i liked the older version more. Can't wait for the next Yotsuba&! volume. Thank heavens he's finally done with this.
Rewaiting for a new french's version...
Jesus!! Redrawn all volume??
I cant even finish 24 page manga!!
Sakaki-san TURNS ME ON!
sakaki is the best!
I wonder if this will be done for the later volumes as well.
It's understandable for this volume and maybe the next one, since Azuma's art style changed drastically early on and it took a while for the characters to take on their iconic appearances. But the third and fourth volume have pretty much the exact same look as the anime, and aren't all that different from his current style.
Do not want, especially the new design on Sakaki's panties. The old one was perfect and fit with the style of the actual cats; this one looks like a teddy bear.
Also lol @ replacing the one boy in the manga with a girl.
Transformation into an all girl manga complete!
sakakai goddess >....<
The most likely licensor for a re-translate (if any) would probably be Yen Press. They did Hidamari Sketch awesomely so they have the experience.
Tokyopop suck because they often can't be bothered to include colour pages, yet still charge more than the ones who do (Kodansha, Tanoshimi, etc).
Hmm, some of the panels look simpler (no shine on hair, less use of tone) and yet in others the backgrounds are much improved. Will have to see the reprint in whole before I really pass judgment.
WIN!!!
Sad, I think this is kind of a downgrade. Still, more power to the mangaka. Azumanga Daiou is wonderful.
I liked the old version better.
So which one is the new version? The right or the left?
me too, if you mean the bikini that is...
Yes, it covers more skin but it's somehow sexier
This is only the first volume, right? As opposed to a collection.
Ooh, I hope they (re)translate this.
yotsubato where?
You're an idiot.
Playing with "Danbot" or fondling Fuka's 'mountains'.(Squnting eyes) Hmmmmmmm.....aren't you 'knee san'/'o__o'?
"squinting"
gg
you noticed I'm using the office's computer
here's an icecream for you
Hey now, nothin wrong with Azumanga Daioh.
Osaka's brain is kinda wrong XD ROFLMAO!!
Don't double post.
I C wut U did thar... LOL :D
"Saury with rice...
Two big cups! "
nice breasts
No wonder Azuma San take so long to publish Yotsubato. Oh well better than certain manga artish
Besides drawing some porn doujins on the side?
