What is CITY About?
CITY revolves around Midori Nagumo, a college student constantly struggling with money. Living in a town full of quirky individuals, she finds herself in various comedic and unpredictable situations. The manga is known for its surreal humor and the absurd everyday life of its characters.
Vertical Comics, which licenses the manga in English, describes the story:
From the 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…
Premiere Date
CITY THE ANIMATION is set to premiere on July 6 on Tokyo MX.
With a talented cast and a skilled production team, CITY THE ANIMATION promises to be a delightful adaptation of Keiichi Arawi’s beloved manga. Stay tuned for more updates as the premiere date approaches!
