Keiichi Arawi’s City manga originally ran from 2016 to 2021 in Kodansha’s Morning magazine, publishing a total of 13 volumes for its run. It then returned after 3 years on December 24, 2024. Vertical Comics licensed the manga in English.
The story follows penniless college student Midori Nagumo as she scrambles to pay her rent in a city full of quirky characters. With her landlady pressuring her and her friend refusing to help, Midori tries everything from petty schemes to odd jobs, all while getting caught up in chaotic city adventures.
