Synopsis

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...

I love this series. The series is very experimental and creative, has a lot of content with a normal setting pushed to unpredictable places. The comedy is absurd but rooted in normal seeming characters and has expressive art with lots of detail. There is a ton of variety and personality in the stories of the ensemble cast, with many connections between them all. The artwork is of a very high quality and is consistent, bringing a inventive imagination to a character interaction. There is a high level of energy in the events of the story, which is fairly simple and could be enjoyed by readers ...

Coming from watching the Nichijou anime, I was wondering if CITY was going to be just as good or better than Nichijou, and for me it was the second.

CITY still got the random and absurd humor that Nichijou had, just that a bit more chill (at least for me), but the new setting and charismatic characters made it a refreshing experience. I loved almost all the characters, from the main ones to the secondary, and seeing the silly and absurd situations they face every day made it's so fun to watch and also made me fall in love with them.

The only flaw I find is ...

The surrealist humour of Nichijou is still present here but its not as random and absurd. Its actually way more chilled out and this gives a lot more space to develop and explore all the characters in the titular CITY, and there are so many of them. Arawi Keichii has a knack for creating lovable characters and his prowess is at full show here. It feels different from Nichijou in a way that it feels way more mature and personal this time around.
Its warm, wholesome and makes for a very easy and cozy read. I think its a must read for every Nichijou fan.
