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…
Summer is in full swing, and Nagumo is as desperate as ever to make a buck. Makabe’s is closed, so apart from an appearance in Troupe Tekaridake’s latest masterwork, she’s got no source of income—and no choice but to turn to the internet. With Niikura behind the camera, what could go wrong? But Nagumo’s public humiliation leads to some unexpected reunions… Summer in the CITY doesn’t mean lazy days for everyone, however: Class 2-3’s make-up exam is postponed indefinitely as they devote their energy to a Guinness world record, the Surprising Shogi championship grips fans with its preposterous thrills, and Wako joins forces with Kamaboko Oni to save “Mr. Bummer” from the threat of cancellation. Need a vacation from normal life? Why not spend summer in the CITY?
