AlbakiReads Editorial

A college student’s money troubles set an unusual city in motion

Midori Nagumo’s immediate problem is practical: she owes money, her landlady wants the rent, and her friend has stopped lending cash. The tempting alternatives she considers—bullying or petty theft—offer no lasting fix, while getting a job threatens to cut into her time for adventures. That everyday bind anchors a surreal-slapstick manga set in a city where ordinary life includes not-quite-ordinary people. The setup connects Midori’s personal scrambles to the wider city around her, giving the comedy both a concrete source of trouble and an expansive urban setting.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Manga readers interested in surreal, slapstick comedy.
  • Readers who enjoy stories centered on a cash-strapped college student and her urban surroundings.

Book overview

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...
