Users are encouraged to post Osaka anywhere and everywhere!
Also, I'll be running a Azumanga Daioh marathon this Saturday starting at 12PM EST, including a bunch of (sfw) doujin Azumanga games!

Nice! I was just thinking I need to watch Azumanga again.
What would she think of all this publicity?

I thought it was awful coincidental that the most relevant character to the Western fandom (particularly those who frequent anime centric websites) would be the one who had the cameo. I would have expected Sakaki or Chiyo, since they were the most prominent characters in the actual series. (They may have already had cameos; I've never read Yotsuba&!) I wonder if the Japanese see Osaka the way many of us see her and that inspired the decision. Or maybe the mangaka sees her as we do! It's all speculation.

Thank you for the Osaka week, Figamin.
