Get ready for a slew of crazy new challenges in the sports fest, culminating in an action-packed 10-K race. The ever-hyper Tomo is dying from excitement, but Osaka is afraid of just plain dying. Later, Chiyo-chan adds to the hilarity as she scrambles to pull things together for this years culture fest. Will it be a big hit or a miserable miss for our cast of high school cuties. Curricular activities aren't the only source of action. Between classes, the girls doggedly debate things like the colour of pandas, the merits of dieting, and the existence of Santa or even more improbable, Mr. Kimura's wife! And, speaking of spouses, isn't it time Minamo found a man? Her busybody mother sure seems to think so! With trips to Hokkaido, Magical Land and a hilarious visit to the local karaoke club, this charming, comical, costumed volume of Azumanga Daioh proves once and for all that time spent with friends is time well-spent!
