The Japanese word often translated as "cool" (kakkouii) literally means something like "A pleasing appearance" and can be used to mean anything from "Handsome" to "Bitchin'".

So for Sakaki it's not that she's cool in the 1950s sense, but more like she's aloof and somewhat masculine.
Kind of like Torako.

Although I don't think she's actually aloof, I think she's more spacy, but because of her tall stature and athleticism, it gets interpreted that way by others.

I wouldn't say she is really aloof. I think that 'reserved' would be a better word.

I think she best fits the type of 'cool' she is is the one in the phrase 'calm, cool, collected'.

>>214722

OMG WHAT HAPPENED TO SAKAKI?!

Seriously, those proportions are whack.

>>214727
Looks like a reasonable facsimile of a teenaged girl to me.

Now this is whack.

When someone says: "Sakaki-san is so cool!"

What they really mean is: "Sakaki-san is so fucking hot a. I want to do dirty and horrible things to her body."

>>214735

> When someone says: "Sakaki-san is so cool!"

> What they really mean is: "Sakaki-san is so fucking hot a. I want to do dirty and horrible things to her body."

Can I get an AMEN from the congregation? I'm off to my bunk to contemplate Sakaki's coolness.

>>214729

If the teenaged girls where you live have freakishly giant heads, extremely short torsos, badly proportioned limb lengths, and legs that seem to be growing out of nowhere, and it's normal...remind me not to live where you do.

That picture is fucked and whoever drew it needs to either take anatomy 101 or find a new hobby.

That picture you posted it whack too, but for all the right reasons.

>>214730

I'm going to need the rest of this, please.

>>214744
No, no you don't. Unless you want Sakaki rape. (where she is the rapist)

>>214745
Not sure if want -- does she have a penis?

(Saging because I really don't want; I'm just surprised no one else has asked yet.)

>>214750

No penis. Just fast feet, immense strength, a huge crush, and a lot of pent up sexual frustration.

>>214752
Sounds good to me!

>>214754

>>214755

Damn, why doesn't Azumanga hentai portray touching and heartwarming love making, instead of this cum splattered filth?

>>214756

>hentai
>touching and heartwarming

>>214757
First of all Ralen, you're too good to devolve into a being greentexter.
Please don't become one of that crown, I'd much rather have you lead by example.

Second of all Lonely Kagamin, which is to say that there is some H that stands out from the crowd. Also stuff like this
http://7chan.org/ss/res/10283.html
is atypical

>>214758
Sorry, I was just being lazy.

Also, I wouldn't really call Lonely Kagamin a Hentai doujin. There wasn't much nudity or sex from what I remember.

>>214759
It had a little bit, it was touching and heartwarming rather than cum splattered filth, such are the nature of the beasts that something like loneley kagamin is likely to be less graphic than imouto anal extravaganza. I've only ever seen loneley kagamin posted on /h/ boards.

>>214763
It's posted on /jp/ sometimes, or when it still a decent board.
I even posted the cover here once.

That's part of the burden with doujin. They can develop already established characters in such interesting ways, but they get glossed over when a tit is shown.

>>214757
Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke wo comes to mind

>>214755
Man, so much potential, wasted. The art is good and then once it starts to get going, it turns into an interior anatomy lesson.

>>214759
Bu, anything can be hentai if you try hard enough!
But this is the most pornographic part, hardly qualifies it as true hentai, or even ecchi for that matter.

>>214763
It gets posted on 4chan's /c/ and /a/ all the time.

>>214757
You've never read 'My lovely ghost Kana', have you?

I guess "Re-Take" is kind of heartwarming. Osaka is the most popular character among Japanese fans (and maybe most fans, period), but the story suggests that having her as a girlfriend would be a different matter.

>>214776
I guess I just consider that if sex is the main focus of the story, it's likely going to have little to no plot, short of some excuse for the characters to do it. So I don't really consider emotional development to be a typical part of pornography.

And if there is a heavy story element with an emotional component, then I guess I don't really consider it to be porn, since the sex isn't the primary focus.

If you have to analyze this shit you're doing it wrong.

For all y'all who are interested in porn with some plot, I heartily recommend the XXXenophile series, by Phil and Kaja Foglio. Six volumes, the last a full graphic novel. Fantasy and sci-fi aesthetic. Thoroughly dirty, fully hilarious, as much attention paid to consensuality as sensuality.

(Image (obviously) not Azu, but sample of said series.)

>>214823
Thanks, but I just can't stand Foglio's art. Everyone looks so greasy and bloated, like they're made of silly putty.

There are a lot of UNTRANSLATED Azumanga Diaoh and Yotsuba doujins on E-hentai.org?

Surely there is at least one out of the lot that
is sweet and touching enough for our translators to work on.

>>214775
And then Kagami woke up and it was all a dream.
For reals.

>>214823

Not picking on Foglio in particular, but I think it's better that all porno artists should stay anonymous, not so much because of shame but because once you see what the creator looks like it's usually a bone-killer. I guess this is the big difference between porn artists and porn actors.

>>214827
And then she woke up for real and the dream was a dream.

I would have loved that. The mangaka caught some shit from people who hated the original ending and tacked on that last part to shut them up
It seems the BAD END hit a little too close to home for some...

Sakaki looks scary.

>>214959
What if they genetically engineered a daughter from Sakaki and Mio?

>>214778
You have a very narrow definition of porn, which sort of explain some things.

>>215125
Is there really need to redefine when there is one main focus?
Romance-bondage?
Thriller-scat?
Drama-dwarf sex?
Comedy-bestiality?

>>215126

Just because a manga, movie, or whatever else contains sex doesn't automatically make it a porno.

>>215125
>>215126
>>215128
I think the central disagreement here is distinguishing between things that merely contain sex, and things where sex is the primary focus.

>>215130
I don't entirely agree with you.
here is a link to a web page in which sex is the primary focus and which depicts sex and links to more sex, but still manages to not be pornography.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_intercourse

>>215134
Look, I see where you're cuming from, but you can't just let your sexual repression come out like that onto Ralen.
Besides, he's not down with anal at all - I already offered.

>>215134

what do you call an ocean-going beast that strains manga-plankton from the vast streams of material flowing through the internet?

A RALEEN WHALE

:VVVVV

>>215203 I don't get it.

Everything is about sex these days, even when it isn't.

>>215136

>cuming from

lol.

"Hot Glue" version on the nws board.

"Sakaki, conscious of boys' stares."

>>215604

And here I thought she was only ever conscious of Tomo's stares.

>>215604
Through my line of research , it isn't so much of the boob themselves that gets attention, it is how one handles them.
(puffs smoking pipe)

I don't think Sakaki has that at all. She doesn't avoid activities with the girls, and the jobs she considered included plenty of customer interaction. She self-assesses her social abilities as awkward, but this is a rational and accurate assessment. She's introverted, but not to the point of disorder.

>>215667
That's exactly how I see it. She seems more upbeat towards the end, too.
Sakaki, or people like that in general, just need a good dicking.

>>215665

>-Avoid activities or jobs that involve contact with others

Well that definitely doesn't fit Sakaki.
Her 3 choices on her career sheet were Veterinarian, flower shop girl, and stuffed animal shop girl.

>>215686
So, she gets to hang around either sicks cats, flowers, or stuffed animal most of the day...

>>215604
DAAAAYUM!

She'll be conscious of my dick if she doesn't put those away.

>>215803
That's because things can't hurt you. While there are countless stories of humans hurting other humans, not once has a person ever been killed by sicks cats, flowers, or stuffed animal. Sicks cats can only die. Flowers can only die. Stuffed animal can only die. Humans kill. I don't like humans.

>>215807
Yeah, right, but I mother sicks cats, and I think they think about hurting me PLENTY of times. They are cabbages, I'm not sure why they would walk to hurt me. But they do.

>>215807
Kids can choke on the stuffing of stuffed animals.

>>215803
>>215807
They all involve dealing with customers or pet owners though. They're not all totally isolating jobs, which indicates Sakaki has a desire for, or at least no strong aversion to human contact.
>>215808
Cabbages?

>>215821
Cabbage Pact Pets?

There was a pretty Sakaki-like woman in my school(which just ended). Tall, good-looking and pretty quiet and mysterious. Since she's an excellent artist too, she definitely has an aura of coolness around her. Also, she's a lesbian.

>>215864
Well, there you go.

>>215864
That sounds like Sakaki, alright.

Thread needs more Sakaki on Kagura

>>215864
pics plz
Seriously, scan that year book photo

>>215868
No photos, but here's her DA, at least.
http://petite-emi.deviantart.com/
Her self portraits aren't all too far from the truth.

>>215867
What's the name of the doujinshi?

>>216013
Nikomark Daioh.

>>216013
Just watch out for the penis.

Traditional family values be damned.
This is anti-christian. Tsk, tsk...

>>216168
Don't worry, I'm 99% sure Sakaki isn't a Christian.

There's a 1% chance her sign could mormon

>>216173
My sign could 1% Mormon once. It was in the summer of 97, when the flowers were in bloom.

Steins;Gate

>>217118
more like Sakaki;Gate : the ultimate penetrable gate.

Sakaki in lab coat. That's almost as good as meganekko.

>>217118
More.

Title: "Azumanga;Gate"

Sakaki: "This is kind of embarrassing..."

Osaka: "Tuturu. What is Tuturu anyway?"

Off screen: "It's not quite the same"

>>219423

d'awwww!!

>>219423
Wait, so did... Chiyo die? ;~;

No, I think that she just grew up.

It's weird that the vet is letting some strange girl ride her dog though.

>>219442

I think Yotsuba can get away with almost anything (unless it involves Nio somehow).

...is she made of plastic or something?

This was apparently drawn for mimi no hi or "Ear Day."
3 is (sometimes) pronounced mi so March 3rd (3/3) would be mi-mi.

>>219620

Any chance of us hosting a new NWS thread on the backup board?

>>219867

The fetish board was taken up by the folks at shanachan(dot)org

The nws /azu/ thread is here:

http://shanachan.org/fetish/res/68193.html

I can't really make out what she's saying on the right side. The first part looks like せま and after that all I recognize is 初

The artist's comments say "Pay no attention to that weird song she's singing."

>>220352

"semaru"...?

>>220352
初夏 shoka

just a pun.
http://ja.songcoleta.com/lyrics/let's_go_rider_kick_(kamen_rider)

>>220360
Thanks, I never could have recognized that second squiggle as 夏.

>>220353

>1) Neither desires nor enjoys relationships or human interaction

Sakaki does desire human interaction though.
When Kaorin tries to invite her to the Astronomy club, Sakaki said "I wish she would have asked me..." not "Get out of my face you dumb bitch."

"Dynamite"?

Giant Sakaki.

>>222518
Ooops.

>>222556

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY SEXY LAYDAAAAAAAAAAAY!

"Pokemanga Daioh"?

Sakaki as the victim of violence. Not cool.

Sakaki as the perpetrator of the violence. Much cooler.

>>222664
Dang, what could have caused her to snap?

Shes trying to find out who uploaded those pics of her and Tadakichi-san to /d/. That ep was kind of tough to watch.

Now maybe you can guess why she isn't allowed to have pets (hint: its not because her mom is allergic).

>>222664

>Please do not post pornography or violence

That pic clearly goes against the rules because it's way too easy to masturbate to, therefore it's pornography.

>>222671
Unmitigated slander.

Tomo was probably taunting Maya again and went too far.

>>222674
Wouldn't she have gone to Tomo first, then? Or maybe Kagura and Yomi tried to stop her, which in that case that dude is a dumbass and should cower behind Chiyo.

>>222664
While it's good to see Sakaki sticking up for herself, I don't actually see this happening, ever.

Hard to define "cool".

but in any country
I meet Sasaki
she would be cool

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2-O_g3rxGk

YFW by now Sakaki is probably a young housewife with a small child and says ara ara?

>>223126
I prefer to believe that her less than personable nature has caused her to remain a bachelorette into her late 20s.

Actually, given that girls are stereotypically the more passive sex (especially in Japan), it's likely that even an intimidating girl like Sakaki would eventually have a guy work up enough courage to confess his feelings for her at some point. And given her affinity for cute things I can totally imagine her enjoying life as a mom and housewife.

Then again, maybe her love for animals caused her to pursue a career in veterinary medicine to the exlusion of all else, and she ended up being a single working professional as pictured in >>204412.
A guy can dream, can't he?

She could also be a lonely cat-lady with 20 cats.

>>223128
Yeah... about her desire to become a veterinarian... let me be serious here, perhaps for the first time ever.

Look, a close friend of mine is the best veterinarian I know. I always wanted to ask him something that I asked like three months ago.

The conversation went more or less like this:
-Dude, in your first year of vet school were there many students that were there because they always wanted to be vets because they really, really liked animals?
-Of course, fucker! (he actually talks like that)
-But I mean, kids who love animals in that "that's soooo cute" sort of way...
-Oh, yeah fucker. Lots of those fuckers, fucker
-Yeah... how many of them graduated?
-Those fuckers don't last two months, fucker!

So, yeah... being a vet is not actually for the kawaii enthusiast. I took that dude to a pig factory once and I'm not gonna say the pigs were in evident pain, but they weren't happy either. And this friend of mine drilled a hole on a goat and kept it alive for months for research. That's the sort of thing vets have to do.
I don't see Sakaki doing that...

So, yeah. A guy can dream, but you'd have to also dream vet school being completely different from what it really is.

>>223131
Stop ruining my fantasy by applying real life standards to anime!

But yeah, I can see Sakaki washing out the first time she was wrists deep inside a dog. And not in the sexy way.

Speaking of which, I hear the local vet college has a cow with a hole in it. It's like a flap in its gut so you can open it up and reach inside its stomach to see how its digestive processes work. That actually sounds kind of cool and also revolting.

>>223134
The cow has a stomach window? Dude, that's exactly what my friend did to the goat! It was for studying the digestion. He and his mischievous pals fed the goat different things each week and measured the bacteria and and things like that.
They wrote a paper about it. I haven't read it but I assume it includes the word "fucker".
The goat died and I asked if we could eat it. He said it was inedible and I assume the cow will be inedible too, so don't bother.
I never got to see it and I really wanted to...

But as you said, a guy can dream, so dream vet school being less like a horror show and more like a stuffed doll factory.
Only trouble is (gee whiz) you're dreaming your life away...

On the other side, I can see Osaka wrists-deep inside a dog/cow/goat/human and having a giant grin on her face the whole time.

>>223137
I can see her going home with the dog still hanging from her arm, howling in agony like the most grotesque glove.

Speaking of which
>>223134

>And not in the sexy way

There's a non sexy way?!

>>223136

>you're dreaming your life away...

Is this another song lyric, or are you trying to tell me something...?

>>223139
Can't it be both?
Sorry, but this is how I communicate 'cause words don't come easy to me.

But actually I just wanted to quote an oldie...

>>223131

I would figure she would be the type to start working at a shelter, where they actually care for the animals. When an injured stray cat would come in, she would do the surgery to safe its life. When a dog would have to learn to walk again due to a lost leg, she would train it. When a horse would have to be put down because it is too malnourished, she would set the needle, with a tear in her eye, but knowing fully that while all animals cannot be saved, she will do her best for all of them no matter what.

She'd NEVER work in facility where they would do testing on animals.

>>223148
How do you think she would react to the first time she has to dissect a dead cat in her anatomy class?

>>223153
Do they do that? If they do, I don't think they just throw a dead cat at your desk and say "make with the knives", some preparations must be done.
But she will probably react with horror anyway. Maybe she'll quit, or maybe she'll see this as necessary training for when she save living ones later.

>>223166
I don't know, probably. I dissected a cat in my high school anatomy class, so they probably do something similar in higher level veterinary courses.

>>223153

Most of the young women in my high school bio class put on a big show of being grossed out by the idea.

Then they picked up their scalpels and gleefully hacked the kitties to bits.

>>223696
Sakaki read the dissection conversation earlier in the thread and is about to lose her lunch

>>223171

"Then they picked up their scalpels and gleefully hacked the kitties to bits."

The mental image this conjures up is nightmare fuel. Young high school girls with knives?

>>223696

> they see your penis

>>223700
Giddy excitement and awed silence?
Sounds about right to me.

>>223722

Just curious, are you happen to join an occult club, Ralen?

>>223729
An occult club?

>>223722
Sakaki:

> it's too big...

Osaka:

> but so are you, you can take it!

Alternatively:
Sakaki:

> it's too cute!

Osaka:

> it's quite small, isn't it? look at that little thing!

stupid sexy Sakaki

>>215686
It annoys me to no end that the top of her head is cut off in this pic.

>>224391
Here's Sakaki. I wonder if he'll do the teachers now. Or Kaorin.

I have to say, I was looking forward to this one the most, and I'm the most disappointed in it. Her legs and butt look really chubby, and it's a little too subtle for my taste (considering the style he did the other characters in).

Someone on /a/ was nice enough to fix this up.

/azu/ redefining cool

Yomi on the right?

Yomi on the left, Tomo on the right.

>>225281

Probably.

In other news, Sakaki isn't cosplaying enough.
