The manga series CITY, created by Keiichi Arawi, is referenced indirectly through Arawi's involvement in a government anti-piracy card game. No new chapters, volumes, or adaptations have been announced.
Keiichi Arawi, the creator of CITY, has been active in a non-series project. The Agency for Cultural Affairs released a free-to-print card game called HIT PLAN in May 2026, featuring illustrations by Arawi. The game is designed to teach anti-piracy measures, with players acting as producers developing intellectual property while fending off criminal organizations. The game design was handled by Seiji Kanai, known for Love Letter.
The only other recent mention of Arawi's work comes from a Yen Press licensing announcement in May 2026. The publisher listed 17 manga and light novel licenses for November 2026, but CITY was not among them. The batch included works by other creators, such as Ryōko Kui and Kumo Kagyu, but no new CITY content was announced.
As of the most recent stories, CITY remains a completed series with no new developments. The only connection to the series is through Arawi's role as its creator, which is noted in the context of his work on the HIT PLAN card game. No further updates about the series itself have been reported.
