CITY, Vol. 10

CITY #10

by Keiichi Arawi

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...

Summer in the CITY doesn’t mean lazy days for everyone, however: Class 2-3’s make-up exam is postponed indefinitely as they devote their energy to a Guinness world record, the Surprising Shogi championship grips fans with its preposterous thrills, and Wako joins forces with Kamaboko Oni to save “Mr. Bummer” from the threat of cancellation.

Need a vacation from normal life? Why not spend summer in the CITY?

Reviews

[Sam Hayes · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked the YouTube arc and how it starts to come full circle down the line. Fun series. Really starting to enjoy comics made outside the American comic bubble. So happy not to be worrying about variant covers anymore.

Giving it 5 stars specifically for the bonus chapter about Eri's parting gift to Matsuri.

Eri giving Matsuri a voice recording of herself, reassuring that she wouldn't ever let go of her bike like the time she first helped her learn how to ride it, was *so* sweet and cute and made the whole volume worth reading.

I love them. I love their friendship. Reading about them makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside AND out.

As good as the rest of them, started to drag a bit in the 2nd to last chapter

Am I wrong or this volume was weirder than usual?

[Dan P · Rating 4 out of 5]

Going very slowly through the remaining volumes of City, savoring every bite. The anime is coming this summer and Arawi just announced he's writing new City chapters 🥲 life is good sometimes
