And Yet the Town Moves (Japanese: それでも町は廻っている, Hepburn: Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru), abbreviated as Soremachi (それ町), is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Masakazu Ishiguro. It was serialized in the monthly magazine Young King OURs from March 2005 to October 2016, and was collected into 16 bound volumes. The series follows the exploits of whiny Hotori Arashiyama, her friends, family, neighbors, shopkeepers and colleagues at the local maid café. The slice of life format is occasionally interspersed with stories dealing with aliens, ghosts, and the paranormal.

An anime television series adaptation by Shaft was broadcast from October to December 2010. The manga was first licensed by JManga, then Crunchyroll; in 2020 it was also licensed by Manga Planet with the name SoreMachi: And Yet the Town Moves.

In 2018, And Yet the Town Moves won the 49th Seiun Award for the Best Comic category, as well as the Excellence Award at the 17th Japan Media Arts Festival in 2013.
