The Kyoto Animation 2025 New Work Presentation special program announced a television anime adaptation of Keiichi Arawi's City manga on Saturday. The anime series is scheduled for a 2025 debut.

Taichi Ishidate (Violet Evergarden, Kyoukai no Kanata) is directing the television anime at Kyoto Animation. Voice actresses Mikako Komatsu (Hai to Gensou no Grimgar), Aki Toyosaki (K-On!), and Yui Ishikawa (NieR:Automata Ver1.1a) are starring as Midori Nagumo, Niikura, and Wako Izumi, respectively.

Arawi, best known for Nichijou, began drawing the slice of life comedy manga in Morning weekly magazine in September 2016. Following a four and a half-year-run, Arawi concluded the manga in February 2021. Kodansha published the 13th and final volume in April that year.

Vertical licensed the manga in English in July 2017 and released all 13 volumes between March 2018 and January 2022.

Synopsis
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...

One question , why not a new Nichijou anime season instead? They know it still extremely popular among the fans. Regardless , I trust the author so even if I haven't read the manga I know it will be really good!!!

Kyoto Animation Adapts 'Nichijou' should have stopped there. More Nichijou where?

Putting that aside looking forward to this.

the plot sounds like Nichijou: The College Years. I'm down.

Great that it's coming out next year itself. Been long enough since we've seen a full-fledged anime season from the studio.

@animegamer245 With all due respect , do you have reading comprehension difficulties? What part of

you did not understand? And of course I neither I am legal citizen of Japan(so I don't represent Japan) nor I said the anime was popular among the whole anime community which by the way this community includes people from people outside Japan too......

@animegamer245 Then it makes even less sense. It’s as if they are trying to enter the same river twice, reviving a cult but financially unsuccessful anime once again and seeming to be embarrassed about it. I stop understanding what is happening with Kyoani now.

I mean the fans didn't buy it, which is the issue.

But now we are in 2024 and companies rely more on profit from services so it easier for them to earn profit. By your logic Chainsaw man will never get a continuation because the Blu ray sales of season 1 were terrible... wait it did. Also if sales were low so many years ago for Nichijou which again it still very popular, why did they choose to animate a completely different manga and that is even more problematic for the studio since they have nothing to predict the success of this new anime ? Sorry but I fail to understand both your logic and what you are ttrying to achieve here by writing :

@animegamer245 If Minami-ke managed to be revived then I can remain hopeful that Nichijou will also be revived. That all I have to say about this subject

@Yubisoft Well, Minami-ke was always the more mainstream and financially successful adaptation, judging by the amount of anime it ended up producing. The question here is whether Nichijou has become the type of work that initially failed but ended up proving popular and earning respect among audiences over time. At least, the director herself still calls them her favorite work, despite much more successful titles.

@Yubisoft not enough material. First season adapted 8 or 9 out of 10 manga volumes that came out initially. And the author only recently decided to resume it.

@Nachtwandler_21 How many chapters did they adapt into one episode of the original anime? 3-4?

I'm interested in a brand new KyoAni show airing six years after Tsurune. And it's the same author of Nichijou so this is going to be a blast!

@RobertBobert no idea as I have nort read it myself but this is what manga readers are saying. Anime adapted majority of manga. And since it resumed last year or so only 1 volume came out.

@Nachtwandler_21 I just wanted to point out that the original chapters are quite short, so they will potentially need more time to wait for the new material to arrive in the right amount.

Glorious news. A nichijou sequel would’ve been even better, but I can’t complain.
