CITY manga features story and art by Keiichi Arawi the creator of Nichijou. 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... (Source: Kodansha USA) Note: Originally finished on 2021-02-24 with 13 volumes.
