10 high-school anime to watch, if you love K-On!
1) Nichijou
When three childhood friends, high school seniors Mio Naganohara, Yuuko Aioi, and Mai Minakami, start to get mixed up in the lives of a young prodigy named Hakase Shinonome, a robotic aide named Nano, and Sakamoto, the talking cat they share with Shinonome, the story takes an unexpected turn.
Every day is packed with insanity and serenity for this group and others around them, as they go about their daily lives. Nichijou residents' daily routines include walking to school, getting attacked by a speaking crow, and hanging out with pals.
2) Azumanga Daioh

However, her class teacher, Yukari, is someone who would steal a student's bicycle to prevent running late, so calling the lot bizarre is an understatement.
In Yukari's class, there is no lack of strange females. Tomo Takino, an exuberant tomboy with more energy than intelligence, Koyomi, Tomo's closest friend, and Sakaki, an athletic stunner with imposing features who hides a kind disposition and a severe cat fixation, are among the students that accompany Chiyo. Furthermore, Ayumu Kasuga, the transfer student, is a perfect match for the company.
