City 9

Description

From Keiichi Arawi, the creator of the hit series nichijou, comes a new slapstick comedy series about a penniless college student who moves to a town filled with bizarre people. This reckless girl will be the one who eventually sets the city in motion.

The big race is over, and everything is back to "normal" in the CITY—as normal as it ever gets, anyway. Shia attempts to simultaneously take the advertising world by storm and annoy her way into Tatsuta Adatara's heart. The City Three Crows continue their ongoing quest for the perfect summer vacation, while Tatewaku, Matsuri, and Ecchan tackle the impossible challenge of finding a band name that isn't already taken.

Meanwhile, Nagumo's endless quest for cash takes her through various games of skill and chance—a watermelon seed-spitting contest, bobbing for gold bars at the summer festival, even the 7th Annual CITY Quiz Championship.

We've got spies, we've got love (or is it like?), we even have the perils of...THE BOUTIQUE?! We've got it all here in the CITY—where nothing is ever as normal as it seems.

About the Author

Keiichi Arawi (1977-) is a professional comic artist and illustrator. Originally from Gunma, Japan, he was raised in the city of Maebashi. By the time he was 19 he entered the world of comics drawing short stories for Media Factory's Comic Flapper (My Neighbor Seki, 7 Billion Needles). While his first series KazeMachi was short-lived it caught the attention of one of the bigger publishers in Japan, Kadokawa Publishing. His short "Nichijou" won Kadokawa's 22nd ACE Award for New Artists and by November 2006 Nichijou was regularly serialized in Kadokawa's flagship magazine Shonen Ace. Nichijou has since then sold more than a million copies and has seen cartoon and video game adaptations.
