CITY 5



Nagumo is in a bit of a bind. She's a college student, and like many people in her situation, is struggling with money. She is in debt and her landlord is trying to shake her down for rent. Asking her friends no longer works! They know her deal and they do not have the cash to prop her up, even temporarily.

So what is she supposed to do under these circumstances? Well maybe bullying would help. Maybe petty theft? Neither one is realistic. Maybe getting a job would settle things... But that means working and not having fun in the big city. That also means not spending all your earnings before paying your rent.

Life in the city is an adventure. Thankfully its a fruitful and entertaining one at that!

From the creator of nichijou comes a new slapstick comedy series about a penniless college student who moves to a town filled with bizarre people.

Niikura tries to catch Nagumo in a compromising position. The Tekaridake Theatre Troupe tries to recruit a new member, as Niikura recruits help in finding her still-missing pendant. A night full of shooting stars gives the residents of Sweet Olive Manor something to wish for, and Ecchan and Matsuri hatch a plan to bring about world peace. But a few folks have very close calls with the Grim Reaper…

Praise for CITY 5

CITY is simply a marvel to look at, with the attention to detail from Midori's clutter-filled apartment to the tiniest of broken pieces of a statue our main protagonist dropped filled with such life and brilliance.-B3
