City 1 by Keiichi Arawi
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...
Keiichi Arawi (1977-) is a skilled illustrator and comic artist. He started creating short stories for Media Factory's Comic Flapper (My Neighbor Seki, 7 Billion Needles) when he was 19 years old. While his first series, KazeMachi, was short-lived, it attracted the notice of Kadokawa Publishers, one of Japan's largest publishers. Nichijou, his short story, earned Kadokawa's 22nd ACE Award for Emerging Artists, and by November 2006, it was serialized in Kadokawa's flagship magazine Shonen Ace on a regular basis.
Nichijou has since sold over a million copies and been adapted into cartoons and video games. Guillermo del Toro chose it as one of the top comics from Japan today for Asahi News' SUGOI Japan project.
