Works
Nichijou
2006 - 2015, 2021 - In Serial
Nichijou is a gag manga serialized in Monthly Shonen Ace. In the past, it was also published in Comptiq and 4-Koma Nano Ace in a traveling serialized version.
The style of the book is surrealistic in contrast to the cute pictures.
Starting with volume 4, the events of a single day are described in several episodes from the viewpoints of different characters.
The anime version broadcast in 2011 was produced by Kyoto Animation.
There are currently 10 volumes in the series.
It is recommended to add the tag 日常(あらゐけいいち) (Nichijou (Keiichi Arawi) / Everyday Life (Keiichi Arawi)) to the illustration tag of 日常 (Nichijou) because it is difficult to search with just the 日常 (Everyday Life) tag.
Futari Soccer
Futari Soccer was published in Young Animal, but the serialization ended temporarily.
It is currently serialized in Young Animal Densi under the new title Futari Soccer Almost Brazil (unofficial translation).
Helvetica Standard
Helvetica Standard is a colored manga in vertical format published in the monthly Newtype magazine.
Although the form is different, it is in the same vein as the web manga of the same name written by Arawi when he was a doujin artist, and each time a different manga series of his is published.
The manga often features characters from Nichijou.
Heaven
Another colored manga in vertical format serialized in Newtype.
A work in the vein of Helvetica Standard.
City
City was a slice of life comedy manga serialized in Comic Morning from 2016 until 2021. It follows a format in which multiple characters unfold their stories in a single town.
Like the Nichijou tag it is recommended to add the tag CITY(あらゐけいいち) (City (Keiichi Arawi)) to not take over the city tag.
Amemiya-san
Amemiya-san was serialized in Monthly Shonen Sunday from September 10, 2021.
