Kodansha USA releases the CITY manga series in English, describing the premise as follows:
From Keiichi Arawi, the beloved creator of Nichijou, this surreal-slapstick series follows a broke college student, Midori Nagumo, navigating an ordinary city teeming with unusual people. As this impulsive girl dashes around, she sets the city in motion.
Midori finds herself in a predicament. With mounting debt, her landlady is aggressively pursuing her for overdue rent. Her best friend is reluctant to lend her money after seeing through her schemes. Perhaps a little intimidation would work? Or some minor theft? Both options are not viable long-term. Maybe securing a job would alleviate her troubles… However, working means sacrificing time for fun escapades in the bustling city…
