Kyoto Animation Adapts 'Nichijou' Author's 'City' Manga for 2025 TV Anime
The Kyoto Animation 2025 New Work Presentation special program announced a television anime adaptation of Keiichi Arawi's City manga on Saturday. The anime series is scheduled for a 2025 debut.
Taichi Ishidate (Violet Evergarden, Kyoukai no Kanata) is directing the television anime at Kyoto Animation. Voice actresses Mikako Komatsu (Hai to Gensou no Grimgar), Aki Toyosaki (K-On!), and Yui Ishikawa (NieR:Automata Ver1.1a) are starring as Midori Nagumo, Niikura, and Wako Izumi, respectively.
Arawi, best known for Nichijou, began drawing the slice of life comedy manga in Morning weekly magazine in September 2016. Following a four and a half-year-run, Arawi concluded the manga in February 2021. Kodansha published the 13th and final volume in April that year.
Vertical licensed the manga in English in July 2017 and released all 13 volumes between March 2018 and January 2022.
Synopsis
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...
