A chaotic
and endearing story

loaded moments are intertwined, with eccentric characters that live
unpredictable everyday situations. As described by the study: "An ordinary
life ... but unpredictable. Welcome to City!"
From manga
to anime
The
original manga was published between 2016 and 2021 in the Morning magazine of
Kodansha, ending with 13 compilation volumes. In December 2023, the series made
its temporary return to the pages of the magazine.
The English
edition was published by Kodansha USA and is also available in digital format
through the K manga platform.
With a
first -level cast, a creative team awarded and the quality seal of Kyoto
Animation, City the Animation promises to be one of the most refreshing and
chaotically fun series of the summer season.
