During a special broadcast, Kyoto Animation Studios announced
that the manga written and illustrated by Keiichi Arawi ,
“ CITY ,” will have an
anime adaptation that will premiere sometime in 2025 in Japan. This
is another of the works by the author of “ Nichijou – My Ordinary Life ,”
and is the studio’s first non-sequel production in over six years.
Keiichi Arawi began
publishing the manga in Kodansha 's Morning magazine
in September 2017, and finished publishing it in February 2021 with a total of
thirteen compiled volumes. The author also wrote other works such as
“ Nichijou – My Ordinary Life ” and “ Helvetica
Standard ,” which inspired a joint anime adaptation also produced
by Kyoto Animation and released in 2011.
Cast of voices
Mikako Komatsu as Midori Nagumo , a naive and
innocent girl who causes incidents everywhere. Her future dream is to do fun things.
Aki Toyosaki as Niikura , a girl who
keeps throwing punches and ends up getting into everything. She claims to be a
completely normal girl, and her dream is to be a photographer.
Yui Ishikawa as Wako Izumi , a somewhat
mysterious girl, and it is unclear whether she is normal or a gender.
Synopsis of CITY
From the creator of Nichijou, this surreal series
revolves around a penniless college student, Midori Nagumo, who lives in an
ordinary town filled with very ordinary people. And as this reckless girl runs
around, she sets the town in motion.
Midori is in a bind. She's in debt and her landlady is
trying to kick her out for unpaid rent. Her best friend has refused to lend her
money since she caught on to her tricks. Maybe a little bullying will help. Or
a little theft? Neither is sustainable. Maybe getting a job would fix things…
But working means less time for fun adventures in the big city…
