Scheduled for a debut in 2025, this highly anticipated series is sure to captivate audiences with its unique storyline and lovable characters.
Behind the Scenes
Taichi Ishidate, known for his work on popular anime such as Violet Evergarden and Kyoukai no Kanata, will be directing the television anime at Kyoto Animation. The talented voice actresses Mikako Komatsu, Aki Toyosaki, and Yui Ishikawa will be bringing the characters of Midori Nagumo, Niikura, and Wako Izumi to life on screen, adding depth and emotion to their performances.
Keiichi Arawi, the mastermind behind the beloved manga Nichijou, began crafting the slice of life comedy City in September 2016. After a successful run of four and a half years, Arawi concluded the manga in February 2021, much to the disappointment of fans. However, Kodansha published the 13th and final volume in April of the same year, allowing readers to enjoy the complete story in its entirety.
Global Appeal
Vertical, the English publisher of City, also played a significant role in bringing this captivating story to a broader audience. Licensing the manga in July 2017, Vertical released all 13 volumes between March 2018 and January 2022, allowing fans around the world to experience the charm and humor of Arawi’s work.
In City, we follow the adventures of Midori Nagumo, a young woman facing financial troubles and the looming threat of eviction from her landlady. Desperate for a solution, Midori contemplates drastic measures like bullying or theft to make ends meet.
