What's it about?
A group of Japanese schoolgirls plus two of their teachers journey through three years of upper secondary school in Japan. Meet the girls:
Sakaki: Quiet, tall and prone to constant attack from the various cats and kittens which she finds so adorable.
Chiyo-chan: Child prodigy. Aged 10. Chan is an honorific used to express cuteness. It is often used for babies, young children and teenage girls. To address an elder or teacher using 'chan' would be quite rude.
Osaka: Not too bright, and spends the majority of her time spacing out (and obsessing with Chiyo's pigtails).
