Talk:Azumanga Daioh

I'm cleaning up a few disambiguation links, and can't decide whether Yukari is a (wo)Man Child or One of the Kids.

While I understand why it's hard to pick one or the other for Yukari, I would lean toward (wo)Man Child, as her childish behavior appears to be independent of her interaction with her students. Rather, it has been part of her personality since well before meeting them, as I believe Nyamo notes on at least one occasion.

Thanks

Why does Azumanga Daioh have the category Iyashikei? This is no more a "healing" story than Lucky Star is, and that page isn't tagged with the category.

Right. Removed the category. Maybe it could be Iyashikei if Yukari-sensei, Tomo, and Osaka were all removed (the last on account of "I was the murderer!").

I tend to think in terms of crossover fanfic. Iyashikei stories are those which, when crossed over with any other story, become the genre of that other story. Not because the characters are weak or anything, but because the plots are so mundane that nearly anything is more important than what these characters normally do.

Yet Tomo and Yomi alone can turn most any situation into Manzai.
