CITY #9
CITY, Vol. 9
The big race is over, and everything is back to “normal” in the CITY—as normal as it ever gets, anyway: Shia attempts to simultaneously take the advertising world by storm and annoy her way into Tatsuta Adatara’s heart, the City Three Crows continue their ongoing quest for the perfect summer vacation, and Tatewaku, Matsuri, and Ecchan tackle the impossible challenge of finding a band name that isn’t already taken.
Meanwhile, Nagumo’s endless quest for cash takes her through various games of skill and chance: a watermelon seed-spitting contest, bobbing for gold bars at the summer festival, even the 7th Annual CITY Quiz Championship.
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.

Every volume of City I read now feels like a victory lap for one of the best comedy manga ever made ❤️

I remember this one made me laugh out loud more than any of the recent volumes but I genuinely can’t remember any of the chapters, and I finished it like 2 days ago. Not a very nutritious or memorable series but fun nonetheless. Meant to be pounded in one sitting at 2am, like a sleeve of Oreos, and instantly forgotten.

Perhaps one of my favorite scenes in the entire series so far has been Tatewaku's attempt to spruce himself up for a date. I was cracking up by the end of it!
As the series draws to a close for me, I can't help feeling a little sad. But, I have a snowy weekend ahead of me and the final four volumes to keep me company. It should be a good time.
