Nichijou is one of my favorite manga, as well as one of my all-time favorite anime, so I have to say it was a tough day for me when I finished all the Nichijou content I could find. Luckily, I managed to stumble across Arawi's newer work, CITY, and it has easily carried on Nichijou's legacy.
The absurd situations, ridiculous characters, and million-miles-a-second pacing of Nichijou are all present in CITY, and it all feels fresh thanks to the new setting.

The surrealist humour of Nichijou is still present here but its not as random and absurd. Its actually way more chilled out and this gives a lot more space to develop and explore all the characters in the titular CITY, and there are so many of them. Arawi Keichii has a knack for creating lovable characters and his prowess is at full show here. It feels different from Nichijou in a way that it feels way more mature and personal this time around.
Its warm, wholesome and makes for a very easy and cozy read. I think its a must read for every Nichijou fan. Dec 7, 2024
I love this series. The series is very experimental and creative, has a lot of content with a normal setting pushed to unpredictable places. The comedy is absurd but rooted in normal seeming characters and has expressive art with lots of detail. There is a ton of variety and personality in the stories of the ensemble cast, with many connections between them all. The artwork is of a very high quality and is consistent, bringing a inventive imagination to a character interaction. There is a high level of energy in the events of the story, which is fairly simple and could be enjoyed by readers
