Official Series Text: "Ayumu transferred from Osaka to Chiyo's class early in the year. Much to her chagrin, Tomo's unilateral decision to nickname her "Osaka" is adopted by everyone almost immediately and her real name barely comes up anymore. She is rather spacey, always falling asleep in class or being otherwise distracted, but she is not intentionally inattenttive... that's just the way she is."
She is one of my faves. Despite being such a spacecase, she is a very sweet girl. I suppose there's a little of her spaciness in all of us at some point, I guess that's what makes her so endearing. She also has a funny "country" accent. I guess the Japanese feel that Tokyo is "en vouge," and Osaka is more "down home." I've had this piece done for a long time, but my scanner issues held back this release. Hope ya'll like it.
I just realized the words "accent" and "chan" where cut of on the scanning. Sorry about that.
Azumanga in my country, Osaka's Real name is Ayumu Haruhi.
awesome shadings too!
Yay! Osaka!!
