/azu/ was an imageboard dedicated to Azumanga Daioh, that being a manga and anime series^A). 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⁾

/AZU/ in the flesh

/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.

  • Discord Invite
• I found it while looking through this thread
• Another site dedicated to a niche topic down. However, this one doesn’t make me as sad as Kazamatsuri, since I’m not all that interested in Azumanga.
