CITY
Natively: L26
Summary
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…

Personal Opinion
This has been on my wishlist for a while, because I really enjoyed Nichijou and I read that this manga by the same author scratches a similar itch. Just now, I saw the news that it is getting an anime adaptation in 2025, which made me think ‘why not nominate it?’
