VOLUME 2 OF HIT COMEDY TITLE DUE IN STORES NOVEMBER 18, 2003



HOUSTON, September 8, 2003-ADV Manga today formally announced a November 18, 2003 street date for Azumanga Daioh: Volume 2. This manga comedy, telling of the hilarious adventures of a group of Japanese high-school girls (including the precocious young Chiyo, who began high school a few years early!), ties in to the hotly anticipated Azumanga Daioh anime (forthcoming early 2004 from ADV Films). Azumanga Daioh: Volume 2 will be available at bookstores, comic/specialty stores and other retailers nationwide.



Azumanga Daioh: Volume 2

The second hilarious volume of Azumanga Daioh takes Chiyo and the girls from end-of-sophomore-year hijinks into the general silliness of their junior year. Includes two Special Edition comic segments: "Osaka's Half Day" and "A Day in the Life of Chiyo-chan!"
