City

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 readersof different ages. This manga conveys feeling and a character's perspective in a kind of literal and symbolic way, so it can be quite revealing about struggles that people have, of things that people take for granted. There is a heightened emotional logic to the absurdity. The visual style is very graphical and intricate, reminds me of Tintin's comic illustration for the backgrounds, tends towards having clean linework and being cute. This fits well with the Nichijou Series, but this time it's told with young and also older characters, which is relatable to a person's experience of life in living, leisure and work. Perhaps this series is not the most challenging or relatable series, and won't be that interesting to those who are more sensible and prefer to think about detailed plots. The silliness and lack of predictability is the series strength, and won't fit everyone. It is accessible and clearly conveyed, which also could connect to people with a low reading comprehension, and the quality and detail can be appreciated by people who take their time looking deeper. However, the comedic puns would be difficult to read in Japanese.
