Azumanga Daioh/Haiku

Nyperold's Vast Collection of 'Azumanga Daioh!' Haikus

Teacher's chain comes off
When a student stops to help
Takes the bike and rides

—Nyperold

Just in time for class
Three sizes are a secret
But it's the wrong room

—Nyperold

New transfer student
Good thing in a small package
She's just ten years old?!?

—Nyperold

Cooking is so fun
Yay, it's ready! Or is it
Not cooking at all?

—Nyperold

Master and student
Chihiro's helping Chiyo?
Other way around

—Nyperold

Making her own lunch
And string figures, good at them
Not tongue twisters, though

—Nyperold

Forgotten homework
Chiyo cowers at the front
Tap power reduced

—Nyperold

Cooking is so fun
Yay, it's ready! Cookies, cake!
Don't tell them to wait!

—Nyperold

Sakaki's scary
Vet, florist, stuffed toy vendor?
Maybe really nice...

—Nyperold

Sakaki is cool
So say all the other girls
...What was that cute thing?

—Nyperold

"Are you in a club?
I'm in astronomy club.
Would you be..." *runs off*

—Nyperold

What a nice spring day!
Look, a doggie being walked!
Stretch, and then go run

—Nyperold

Oh, hey, it's a cat
Should I try to pet it? Yeah.
What could it hurt-- *CHOMP*

—Nyperold

"Why's your hand wrapped up?"
"Maybe he was in a mood."
"Did she have a fight?"

—Nyperold

The same cat again
Good mood? A second attempt
Ends up the same way

—Nyperold

Tomo Takino
Hyper is her middle name
Or just "Wildcat"

—Nyperold

Yukari? I'm late!
Standing out in the hallway
Not that teacher cares

—Nyperold

Lasting five minutes,
Then ten, fifteen, and twenty,
At which point she falls

—Nyperold

Challenging Chiyo
Neither know the answer. Yay!
Now she says they're tied

—Nyperold

Going out for bread
A speedy return! Too bad
No one was timing

—Nyperold

Racing Sakaki
Starting with an advantage
Moving mountains back

—Nyperold

Tomo's in the lead?
Not for long; she falls behind
She's the runner-up!

—Nyperold

Another transfer
But she comes from Osaka
A new tsukkomi?

—Nyperold

Introductions made
Teacher expects Kansai-ben?
Reluctantly done

—Nyperold

Osaka busts myths
Takoyaki expected
"Nandeyanen?" "YAY!"

—Nyperold

Get it together
Paying attention in class? No.
Busy saying it

—Nyperold

Nickname acquired
But it's after her hometown
Now it's stuck for good

—Nyperold

Follow Osaka
Watch her wait at the crosswalk
Whoops, it's red again...

—Nyperold

Notice Chiyo-chan
She's a super-smart student
Not a smart aleck

—Nyperold

Osaka's spacey?
Soap slips, and handkerchief falls
Now it's soaking wet

—Nyperold

Those tiny bubbles
In my eyes make me track 'em
And miss everything

—Nyperold

A scream? Huge cockroach!
Tomo pursues, swatting friends
Before killing it

—Nyperold

Now it's on her book
Yukari cannot advise
Too squeamish to help

—Nyperold

Osaka races
Chiyo is slightly faster
Is she just too smart?

—Nyperold

Now for volleyball
Splitting into groups of six
What? Ten million yen?

—Nyperold

Served by Chihiro
Chiyo and Yomi set up
Sakaki's great spike

—Nyperold

What's Osaka's aim?
To be just like Sakaki
Not to take her out

—Nyperold

Tomo's power serve
Pegs the back of Chiyo's head
Will she be okay?

—Nyperold

Overhead passing
Osaka and Chiyo-chan
Get their facials here

—Nyperold

Osaka totters
Balanced badly, scaring them
Until she sits down

—Nyperold

Opening her lunch
Tomo finds a nice surprise
All her top three foods!

—Nyperold

Concentrating hard
Osaka pulls carefully
Splits her chopsticks clean

—Nyperold

Yomi likes spicy
Osaka can't handle it
Mischievous Yomi

—Nyperold

Osaka tries it
Now her mouth is burning up
Then she has hiccups

—Nyperold

Try drinking some juice
Now with plugged up ears and nose
But it doesn't work

—Nyperold

Balanced on chopsticks?
The cup falls off, spilling juice
Time for music class

—Nyperold

Hiccups don't help out
Playing a wind instrument
Will you knock that off?!?

—Nyperold

Osaka's hiccups
Have stayed over two hours
Will she die today?

—Nyperold

Next, the fear gambit
Please, Osaka, be afraid!
Chiyo's not scary

—Nyperold

Smacking on the back
Isn't good at curing them
That's when you're choking

—Nyperold

Spasms in the diaphragm
Punch in the solar plexus
Just puts her in pain

—Nyperold

Sakaki chimes in
She has a folk remedy
Just brew some kaki

—Nyperold

Ah, the classic cure
Holding your breath for a time
Whoops, that went too fast

—Nyperold

Push on the eyeballs
And when that doesn't do it
Pull on her tongue. Ow!

—Nyperold

Give it to someone?
Sounds a bit hokey, but still --
Don't give it to me!

—Nyperold

Could be that she's sick
What might be the problem here?
Probably the brain

—Nyperold

While they discuss
Chiyo notices they've stopped
But what was the cure?

—Nyperold

All's well that ends well
Except Chiyo has them now?
Try it all again!

—Nyperold

Sharks and dolphins are
Fish and mammals, so therefore
Snails are insects?

—Nyperold

Osaka's trying
To instigate a punch line
But they don't know it

—Nyperold

Chiyo's pigtails
Connected, detachable?
Could she get new ones?

—Nyperold

Jolted from her thought
Osaka's shaken awake
Hey! Don't fall asleep!

—Nyperold

Chiyo is called in
Kurosawa-sensei gives
her her new swimsuit

—Nyperold

Yukari comes in
Talks about going drinking
Now is not the time

—Nyperold

"Nyamo"? What's that?
Kurosawa's old nickname
Don't use it at work

—Nyperold

Yukari's messy
But she can find everything
...The dictionary?

—Nyperold

Starts an avalanche
Chiyo holds it up, but then
is buried... again

—Nyperold

Tomo and Yomi
Outrank teachers easily
In terms of classmates

—Nyperold

Chiyo doesn't have
Any classmates from past grades
Isn't that a shock

—Nyperold

Tomo tells of bread
that evolved into monsters
...It was made up, right?

—Nyperold

Minamo begins
To tell about Yukari
But Yukari sings

—Nyperold

Who is Nyperold?!
Azumanga's only fan?!
TOMO could do this!

—Slopeslider

"Reindeer don't exist,"
Says Tomo. Yet she is wrong.
Wails, "I'm not stupid!"

—Nat The Writer

Nyamo is drunk
And sharing some deep wisdom.
Chiyo is baffled.

—Nat The Writer

Wow, there's a lot here!
So many clever haikus
About this weird show.

—Sgt Frog 1

Okinawa mountains
Home to wildcats and trees
And Sakaki's pet

—Man Called True

"We're Team Seaslug!" "What?!"
"But why?! They're so..." [a brief pause]
"Go Team Seaslug!" "Yay..."

—The Hero Hartmut

Farewell to their school
Yet they will all still be friends
Even with Tomo

—/Bobbk

Why do you all think
"Nyamo" has three syllables?
Nya. Mo. Only two.

—Sensei Le Roof

Creepy orange cat...
Sakaki believes he is
Chiyo's real father.

—Ruise

Summer vacation!
Tomo throws the keys away.
Everyone is pissed.

—Ruise
