The reason why Yukari was changed to a spanish teacher is because there are several strips detailing on how she dealt with foreigners. Now if her role as an english teacher remains for the adv version, it would seem kind of strange that she would run away from men that speaks her native language(in the adv version it would be english) and people might think she has a shy personality(which any azumanga fan will disagree).

in the MANGA that ADV translated, they "slurred" her speech like i said, dropping g's, making it sort of dialectical (but later on it just sounds like rough english rather than specifically New York or Southern accent) And the first volume was a major hiccup, the way they deal with Yukari's english teaching and dialogue later in the series influences their later work that has english words among the original japanese dialogue (Happy Lesson for instance) |

Either way, they're just stereotypes. Kinda like the whole thing with how the Yakuza tend to really roll the r's (and change stuff like "nai" into "nee"...). |

Actually, the big game these days is FINDING ADV Manga -- outside of a long abandoned webpage on the ADV website, no one at ADV will respond to any manga questions -- email sent isn't responded to (though they add you to their spam newslist) and phone calls end up at voicemail.
Wierdly, you can still find new prints of AzuDa and the first 3 volumes of Yotsuba& on shelves.... as if the head was removed but the body is still making prints.... wierd and antagonizing. I have both the ADV english and the original Japanese releases of the manga (it is only 4 volumes after all). Its kind of fun comparing the two and shaking your head... One of the best handlings of multiple language situations I ever saw (and wish folks who handled Ichigo Masimaru and AzuDa would have watched for hints) was Red October (the nuke submarine Cold War spy movie).

Its available as a 4 volume set from Amazon.com, bn.com (Barnes&Noble), and other bookstores. If you want the original japanese version, amazon.co.jp carries all 4 volumes as well. In other words, its in print and licensed. Since you're a recent join, best take a look at the forum rules if you haven't already

The story ends at the end of the fourth volume.... (though it might be kind of neat to have a college sequel - the girls do split up to go to their various colleges).
The manga author is working on a series now called Yotsubato. There are six volumes released in Japan... ADVmanga released three and then stalled almost two years ago (bastards). Currently they're just sitting on the license.

The english version has some translation oddities (like at first they try making Yukari's class a spanish class, then later drop that idea and just use odd fonts and stuff for 'english'.) The end of each volume has an appendix where the translator explains why they made the choices they did (often it was that jokes involving wordplay and puns needed to be replaced with something that worked in English). I dunno, I have both the JP and EN versions and consider them some of my best buys in my manga collection.

Ah, I just finished reading the 4th volume and I absolutely loved it! Incredibly cute characters and some scenes literally had me rolling on the floor laughing.
It was also rather easy to read, which for me, with my still quite weak knowledge of Japanese, was a plus. If there's any not-so-difficult manga out there which can be compared to Azumanga Daioh, please let me know. ^^ Are the author's other works worth checking out?
