Sold by Mighty Ape
While the title (which translates as ‘ordinary’ or ‘everyday’ suggests a story of simple, everyday school life, the contents are more the opposite. Set in a strange school where you may see the principal wrestle a deer, or a robot hide the school lunches, the days that unfold in Nichijou are curious and hilarious, if not downright bizarre. However amidst all the chaos and comedy Arawi still takes time to share everyday slice of life stories giving readers an insight into modern Japanese youth culture.
Author Biography
Keiichi Arawi (1977-) is a professional comic artist and illustrator. Originally from Gunma, Japan, he was raised in the city of Maebashi. By the time he was 19 he entered the world of comics drawing short stories for Media Factory’s Comic Flapper (My Neighbor Seki, 7 Billion Needles). While his first series KazeMachi was short-lived it caught the attention of one of the bigger publishers in Japan, Kadokawa Publishing.
His short Nichijou won Kadokawa’s 22nd ACE Award for New Artists and by November 2006 Nichijou was regularly serialized in Kadokawa’s flagship magazine Shonen Ace. Nichijou has since then sold more than a million copies and has seen cartoon and video game adaptations.
It was also selected by Guillermo del Toro as one of the top comics out of Japan today for Asahi News’ SUGOI Japan project.
