/azu/ was an imageboard dedicated to Azumanga Daioh, that being a manga and anime seriesA). However, the site also allowed content related to Yotsubato.
The board had been around for a long time, and it’s mentioned semi-frequently among chanverse enthusiasts.
Sometime in March of 2023 B) the board went offline. Sometime around August 2023, /azu/ returned.1)
Note: Yes, I know the images are fucked. No, I’m not fixing it right now. Yes, I will fix it eventually. No, the fix won’t be satisfactory. I also realize that everything is written in the past-tense, so I’ll fix that at some point as well.
/azu/‘s community appeared to be pretty nice, which gave the board an overall relaxing feel.
It was a very slow board, being slower than Channel4, which isn’t all that surprising considering its niche topic. In addition to this, the top thread was about the /azu/ discord server, which isn’t a very chan thing to do.
/azu/ wasn’t originally part of the iichan/Wakachan coalitions, but was part of the short revival ‘Idlechan’, which wasn’t actually a coalition.
Despite this, I was told that /azu/ was apparently hosted on Wakachan. I haven’t pursued the subject further, so I don’t really know what this means, nor have I confirmed it.
