Keiichi Arawi launched the manga in Kodansha’s Morning magazine in 2016. The series ended in 2021. Kodansha published the 13th and final compiled book volume in April 2021. It’s available to read on Kodansha‘s website. They describe it as follows:
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…
Lastly, CITY The Animation will air in July 2025.
