Arki 1

"Yuuko tries a string of puns that goes very far off the rails. Misato pulls out the big guns when dealing with the maddeningly level-headed Sasahara. The professor adopts a surprisingly chatty cat, and a dog shows up at the right time to lend a paw" --

My ordinary life

Nichijou =

From the creator of nichijou, this surreal-slapstick series revolves around a penniless college student, Midori Nagumo, who lives in an ordinary city filled with not-quite-ordinary people. And as this reckless girl runs about, she sets the city in motion. 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…

This reckless girl will be the one who eventually sets the city in motion. Summer is in full swing, and Nagumo is as desperate as ever to make a buck. Makabe’s is closed, so apart from an appearance in Troupe Tekaridake’s latest masterwork, she’s got no source of income—and no choice but to turn to the internet. With Niikura behind the camera, what could go wrong? But Nagumo’s public humiliation leads to some unexpected reunions...

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.
