Nichijou Volume 6 is one of the weakest books in Keiichi Arawi’s series yet.
Fecchan being overly optimistic about her dropped lolly and her friend’s dropped meat bun was kinda funny in the same way Homer’s flying pig was “still good, still good!” until it wasn’t. Mr Sakamoto gets wound up by the Professor and Nano and Mio flips out after thinking Sasahara has a girlfriend in a tremendously OTT action sequence. The rigged carnival stall was also mildly amusing.
It’s not much though compared to the series’ usual higher standard of wacky comedy. Ms Nakamura’s investigations into Nano continued, Mio dreams her manga won a prize, the wood cubes fantasy is revisited and we get to see the first game of Go/Soccer – all of which was meh.
The image of the hole in the floor of the blimp with the dude hanging across it, during the wood cubes fantasy, was a nightmarish scenario though and drawn so well it still makes me feel tense just thinking about it!
Like Volume 4, the sixth book hits a lull and unfortunately fails to be as funny as other books in the series have been.

In this volume, Fecchan tries to look on the bright side of things. Ms. Nakamura (the science teacher) finds the Shinonome Laboratory and completely freaks out about being in what she's sure is enemy territory. Mio finds out about the manga contest she entered...or does she? Yuuko has another Fey Kingdom dream in which Mio is a super-powered villain looking for the magical wooden cubes (her barrettes or whatever they are). Ms. Sakurai finds porn (??) called DVD Vinyl in her brother's bedroom. The author pokes fun at rigged target practice games. We finally get to see a Go/Soccer match, and it is bizarre. Also, Sasahara and Misato walk together, and it completely wrecks Mio emotionally, with utterly ridiculous results.
I am wildly curious about the contents of DVD Vinyl, and it was nice to finally see a Go/Soccer match. Also, I found the target practice game bit hilarious, even though I've never played one of those in my life.
As usual, this series is weird and weirdly fascinating. There are occasional genuinely funny moments, but mostly I'm here to see what bizarre things happen next.
Extras:
A few full-color pages, some random notes about Mai's pets and other tiny details from the series.

mais um acerto

This volume of Nichijou is definitely for those who like the ridiculous, over the top panels. Not as many slow burn jokes, and the few that are there don’t translate amazingly. This is a pretty fair issue to most of the cast, all of them getting involved.
This might not be as great for fans of the show, as most of these panels are recognizable from the show, and honestly better presented in the TV series (particularly “Chan Mio" which in this production is now OOIM, which is fun too, but the overall panels move a bit too quick for me for the amount of action going on).
Still, there were a few new panels. The aftermath of Mio sending in her comic entry (the one Mai and Yuuko messed up) is the highlight, for again, absurdity.
Overall, I’d say for people that Love the ridiculous and slapstick, they’ll love this volume. For fans of the show, there’s probably just enough new content to make you want to check this out. It’s a fun volume with some of the classic moments adapted in the TV series.

cute but not as good as the 5th

This series is hit-or-miss with its various gags and outlandish storylines, and while it usually hits more often than not for me, for the most part, this volume missed the mark. Mio's dream sequence and Yukko's awkward journey to meet Mai were my favorites here, but the rest of the chapters all ranged from pleasant to mediocre. This volume seemed to have a large chunk of chapters whose main punchlines got lost in translation, and others where I understood the joke but just didn't find it especially funny. Nothing outright horrible, but overall just a meh set of chapters.

Volume 6 of “Nichijou” shows no sign of the good times stopping. This is easily one of my favorite volumes in the series so far, with some of the stronger jokes (Mai meets someone who doesn’t get what’s ‘cool’, the saga of the Wood Cubes continue) and what feels like some progress in terms of character and plot (as much as this series has any plot).

This continues to be a very random manga. The characters are all over the place. They're all either ridiculous and/or silly. A lot of the stories don't make any sense to be honest. But they do make me chuckle, and have a healing effect of sorts if I read them after reading something dark. I've already requested the next volume.

Still funny, but I have to say less funny. While the first 3 volumes had jokes I could get, I barely laughed about stuff in this one. Still it has its good moments, plus only 4 more volumes to go, so I will keep reading.

It's just so delightfully absurd. Mr. Sakamoto cracks me up #CatsOfManga, but it's awful how Professor treats him. Poor kitty :-( =^.^=
The rest of the cast is just as amazing as they have been thus far!

Sometimes I forget the professor is just a child. The shark drawing chapter was super cute.

This volume focuses more on the side characters. It's also not as funny as the other volumes so far.

I love the absurdity of it all.

I can't seem to get over how incredibly bizarre this series is. This gets four stars for Mio's dream (amazing) and for totally pushing the weird envelope again.

Either I'm getting accustomed to Arawi's style or he's getting better. This volume made halfway sense and a couple of the anecdotes evoked a chuckle. Still easy reading and still weird.
