Hey. Years ago, Azumanga had a redrawn edition released. I scanned the first volume of that, and compiled the relevant pages for comparison with the original print. It looks like a few pages from the original were left out, but I don't remember which pages they were. Here's volume one of the redrawn edition.

I'll scan the other two volumes sometime soon.
>Me still waiting for Yen Press to release the redrawn omnibus
Some are simple redraws, other pages change the panels or the dialogue completely.
Bump for interest.

I miss /azu/
it feels like the original looks more charming
>>161016717
It has its own charm to it.
>>161016665
Same.
Thank you for posting these, OP!
Left is redraw?
Thanks for posting it.
I like some of the changes but it's a shame there's no highlights.
>>161016529
Is it just me or does Sakaki look less beautiful in the redraw?
>>161016695
>guy becomes girl
>>161017288
If the right is the redraw, then I like the original designs more
>>161017429
There are a few odd changes. Most of the dialogue changes seem to just be removing the tsukkomi lines that just explain the joke.
In case you can't tell, the right side is the redraw.

memories of that old /a/ or /b/ shop...

why are you watching me fap"
Or something like that.

Everyone makes a mistake from time to time

We could be like 2 volumes further along in Yotsubato if he didn't waste his time with this
>ywn experience Azumanga for the for first time again.
>>161017841
That's true. At least he finished his redraw, unlike a certain author of a heavy metal fantasy manga.
>>161017885
Shin gakki plays in my head when looking at all this. Reminds me of simpler time.
>>161018006
I watched the series when I was in middle school and one of the first anime I ever watched. looking back now at as an adult I can appreciate the humor even more.
>>161017649
I like how he stops redrawing the pages after this one
>>161018120
I don't remember exactly, but I think he did redraw some later pages. That doesn't explain why he just skipped a few chapters though.
>>161017584
Fuck it, the redraw is superior
>>161018346
>you gals are so hyper
Wasn't this released in English? I'm pretty sure I bought it.
>>161018380
You bought the redrawn version in English?
>>161018408
Maybe not. This was the cover. I guess its the original? Can't remember.
>>161018408
Jesus Christ, Kimura.
Speaking of, I wonder how many people these days know that he's to thank for the "mai waifu" phrase in the english-speaking world.
>>161018476
That's the omnibus of the original.
>>161016329

thanks guy
Oh may gah
>>161018120
I was just starting to get used to them having lower jaws and then it reverts back.
>>161018525
No problem.
They didn't have to redraw anything...
>>161018827
I don't remember what the deal is with the single pages. New pages? If someone bothers to check, let me know.
>spending countless hours to make the art of an old comic look more round and modern
Was it autism?

10th anniversary, good excuse to do it (for better or for worse). Plus he can fix his art mistakes.

That's it for now. I'll dump the next volume's comparison pages when I scan it.
>>161019545
Thanks for this!
>>161017485
This seems like a total different page/joke.
This far I really like the redraws.
>>161019545
thanks
I feel the left is more expressive but the right looks more like humans
>>161016230
actually a good thread in /a/, thanks for sharing
>>161019600
First one's a bit different. Chiyos still asking for a job, just in a much more formal and complete way than Osaka.
Something like:
Osaka: "I want a job"
Chiyo: "I've heard you're looking to hire part time workers during the summer break and would greatly appreciate the change to apply for a position"
Second one's completely different. Testing Chiyo on the menu.
>If someone orders the fishburger and fries set, then adds a cheeseburger and a large drink, what's the cost?
>880yen
>... But if you use the cheeseburger set as the base instead of the fishburger set, the cost is only 860yen, saving 20yen.
>>161016734
Sometimes less is more for the punchline.
>>161016834
Did the second 4-koma joke change?
>>161016395
>TSF in my Azumanga
>>161020508
Thanks for the translation
>>161016665
Those were the days, man.
IIchan was such a good board.
>>161019545
Thanks for the dump. I never watched Azumanga so this thread was really useful to me. Osaka a best.
I'm looking forward to your next thread.
>>161017584
I remember fapping to the left during a school trip when I was 13. First thing I did when we got to the hotel.
Such simple times. They were great.
>>161020649
Yeah. The part about the college students is omitted. The last panel translates to "Eh... Today we're having..."
I kinda prefer the original.
Will he ever redraw this one?
>>161019545
I gotta say I prefer original over redraw for the shading and because the art is bit more cute, but this is fine too. Great thread and thanks for sharing
>>161016665
rip idlechan
but /azu/ is still alive

Actually, the redrawn version shown that Azuma really does draw better now, in both paneling and anatomy.
>>161017147
This page for example. In the fourth panel of the original, she is looking upwards while in the redraw she's downcast. The flow of the paneling works much better in the redraw, because her head is now pointing to where the flow of reading is heading towards, while in the original her head goes opposite of it and sends you right back to the opening panel.
I really like it, there's a bunch of little things like this that matters quite a bit.
Is there a download link or something?
>>161024427
Read the thread.

Bump, thanks for the dump!
>>161016938
What happened here?
>>161018917
The man who started it all.
Azumanga was a pure meme generator.
>>161016230
nice nice
>>161021576
I agree, the original just seems a bit more expressive and a bit more detailed.
But I'm glad the series gets some love still.
>>161017705
He kinda recycled a lot of the old panels. In fact, around where this reply is, he just uses the old panels entirely.
Is there an anthology out yet?
>>161018286
why didn'y he redraw her?
>>161019545
I hope for your sake that you at least have a script or something to combine the images.
>>161028676
I think there's enough difference that they'd need more attention than that
I hope he doesn't change Kagura too much the redraws.especially not the one with the slightly transparent shirt
>>161017485
>right
Yep, they bartered general warmth for cleanliness of sign.
Left is so much fucking better.
Glorious is the day In which I purchased the original collection. Never I would've touched the Right redrawn shit.
Death to the Merchants.
>>161028026
The whole series was released 2009 - The four original volumes were made into three new volumes.
Where did the time go? Soon it will be the 20th anniversary (2019).
>>161029979
Chiyo's earnest effort to get her first job would make more sense if she actually put forward her actual intelligence as opposed to idly accepting her potential boss's pity .
>>161030275
>more sense
No doubts. It does highlight the difference betwee nthe two characters, yet the overall product lacks the previous warmth.
It may have more logical panels, but it's lacking the original touch.
