CITY The Animation is based on the comedy manga Keiichi Arawi, famous for his manga series Nichijou. The manga ran from 2016 to 2021 in Kodansha’s Morning magazine. There are thirteen volumes in the series.
Kodansha USA publishes the CITY manga series in English. It describes the premise as:
From Keiichi Arawi, the adored creator of Nichijou, this surreal-slapstick series revolves around a penniless college student, Midori Nagumo, who lives in an ordinary city filled with not-quite-ordinary people. And as this reckless girl runs about, she sets the city in motion.
Midori is in a bit of a bind. She is in debt, and her landlady is trying to shake her down for unpaid rent. Her best friend refuses to loan her cash since she’s wised up to her tricks. Maybe some bullying would help. Or a bit of petty theft? Neither is sustainable. Maybe getting a job would settle things… But working means less time for fun adventures in the big city…
