ADV's manga division has announced the release date for the first Volume of Azumanga Daioh. This series is great, it's more of your typical newspaper comic than a comic book.

Azumanga Daioh Vol. 1
It’s not manga, it’s Azumanga (and it’s smart, fun and totally addictive)! Created by the iconoclastic Kiyohiko Azuma (hence the name), Azumanga Daioh is strongly character driven, telling the story of the precocious Chiyo (promoted to high-school at age 12), a group of her classmates, and their hilarious daily tribulations. Azumanga Daioh boasts exceptionally strong name recognition, including overwhelming fan enthusiasm about the anime series (forthcoming 2004 from ADV Films).

It's due out in September 16th and I can't wait.
