About the author
Tsukasa Hōjō
726 books90 followersTsukasa Hojo (北条司 Hōjō Tsukasa, born on March 5, 1959, in Kokura, Kitakyushu, Japan) is a Japanese manga artist. He studied technical design while still at Kyushu Sangyo University, where he began to draw manga. He worked on several one-shot stories before releasing his serialized works: Cat's Eye, City Hunter and Angel Heart.
Hojo claims that he really did not have any inspiration for these works other than having to meet a deadline. He says he wrote down a few things, he thought about a few things, and one day the ideas just came to him, out of thin air. In reality, the process was a lot more complicated, with editors involved, but fans got the benefit of Hojo's sense of adventure and humor.
After the success of Cat's Eye and City Hunter, Hojo went on to work on other series such as Family Compo. His current ongoing series is Angel Heart, a spinoff of City Hunter set in an alternate universe. It has been serialized in the Weekly Comic Bunch since 2001 and 30 collected volumes has been published so far.
Tsukasa Hojo is Takehiko Inoue's mentor. Inoue worked as an assistant to Hojo during the production of City Hunter. Hojo is also a long-time acquaintance of Fist of the North Star illustrator Tetsuo Hara, who was also one of the founders of Coamix. Hojo contributed to the production Fist of the North Star: The Legends of the True Savior film series by designing the character of Reina.
He was honor guest of the eleventh French Japan Expo which was held in July 2010.

Jajajajaja.... ¡¡buenísimo este tomo!! Y el dibujo increíble.

Un tome plein d'humour et d'action centré sur les relations avec la société Ryûgin, au cœur du trafic d'Angel Dust. Ryô accepte un contrat, contre rétribution, pour assurer la protection de la fille du chef de cette société. Mais la jeune diablesse est loin d'être docile.
On s'éloigne un peu de l'intrigue principale et ce tome est en grande partie centrée sur les stratagèmes de Sayaka pour échapper à la surveillance de Ryô. C'est drôle, efficace, ça se lit avec plaisir. Vivement la suite.

Nach dem Tod deines Partners passt du nun auf seine kleine Schwester auf,
aber eigentlich kann sie auch ganz gut auf sich selbst aufpassen,
oder?
Zum Inhalt:
Nachdem Ryos Partner Makimura bei einem Einsatz ums Leben gekommen ist, ist seine kleine Schwester Kaori bei Ryo eingezogen und versucht von ihm zu lernen was man im Kampf gegen das Verbrechen wissen muss. Währenddessen ist die Mafia rund um die Droge „Angel Dust“ noch immer auf Rache an Ryo aus. Und dabei ist ihnen jedes Mittel und jedes Opfer recht… Außerdem wird Ryo von einem besorgten Vater arrangiert, welcher um die Sicherheit seiner Tochter fürchtet.
Cover:
Das Cover des zweiten Bandes ähnelt der Aufmachung des ersten Bandes. Wieder blicken wir durch das Visier einer Waffe und haben aber diesmal einen genauen Blick auf Ryo höchstselbst. Das hat einen absoluten Wiedererkennungsfaktor, auch wenn ich finde, dass das Cover vom Stil her eher an den Anime erinnert als an den Manga. Und ja, Bonuswissen am Rande. City Hunter wurde als Anime herausgebracht UND sogar in einer Adaption verfilmt – mit niemand geringerem als Jackie Chan. Wobei der Film aber herzlich wenig mit dem Manga gemein hat.
Eigener Eindruck:
Auch zum zweiten Band der Reihe „City Hunter“ aus der Feder von Hojo Tsukasa bleibt nicht viel zu sagen außer, dass er wieder einmal genial gemacht war. Sicher gibt es die eine oder andere Randstory, wo du dir denkst: warum?! Aber es lohnt sich am Ball zu bleiben, denn die Geschichte rund um Kaori, die Mafia und Ryo dreht sich weiter. Und wie sie sich weiter dreht. Mit vielen actionreichen Szenen, einer Schießerei nach der anderen und wilden Verfolgungsjagden. Aber auch hier bekommen wir neben vielen actionreichen Szenen auch wieder eine ordentliche Portion schwarzen Humor geboten, der bisweilen vielleicht auch wieder ein bisschen unter die Gürtellinie geht, aber es ist immer wieder zum Schmunzeln und Kaori als „Sittenwächterin“ erledigt ihre Aufgabe durchaus gut. Ich liebe diese Chibi-Zeichnungen, wenn Ryo wieder einmal mit einem tonnenschweren Hammer zur Vernunft bringen muss. Einfach klasse. Fakt ist, dass der Manga aber weiterhin nur etwas für eingefleischte Mangafans ist und auch nur von einem älteren Klientel gelesen werden sollte, Gewalt, Drogen und zweideutige Anspielungen sind hier eben auch an der Tagesordnung. Trotzdem freue ich mich auf den nächsten Teil und irgendwie hab ich auch gut Lust mir den Anime mal wieder anzusehen.
Fazit:
Weiterhin einfach nur zum Totlachen komisch und doch spannend. Es ist wirklich eine ganz interessante Mischung, die der Mangaka hier abgeliefert hat. Lest es, wenn ihr könnt!

Buku kedua ini separuh awalnya masih merupakan lanjutan dari bab 6 Perangkap Sang Jenderal yang dimulai di buku pertama. Bab selanjutnya, ke-7 dan ke-8, meskipun ada sedikit benang merah dengan bab sebelumnya (yaitu tentang perang sindikat penjahat yang berpusar di obat super "Angel Dust") namun ceritanya sudah bisa dikatakan berbeda. Ceritanya sedikit klasik dan ujung-ujungnya sudah bisa ditebak.
Tsukasa Hojo mulai mengedepankan drama keluarga ketika Ryo menyamar sebagai guru privat dalam tugasnya menjadi pengawal pribadi Sayaka, anak gadis SMA yang merupakan putri dari seorang gembong mafia. Penokohan Ryo Saeba sebagai "orang yang sudah tua" tampak dominan di sini. Banyak pembaca yang seringkali lupa bahwa Ryo Saeba sebenarnya sudah tergolong "berumur", penyebabnya barangkali karena sebagian besar tokoh utama komik buatan Negeri Sakura pada masa itu adalah remaja atau anak muda. Selain itu juga Ryo digambarkan sebagai seorang laki-laki yang "modis", gaul, genit, dan perlente (tentu saja menurut zamannya).
Dalam komik terjemahan di Indonesia, kisah pengawalan Ryo terhadap Sayaka ini dimuat sampai selesai dalam satu buku ini dan lantas dilanjutkan dengan kisah Ryo sebagai pengawal untuk orang yang berbeda (tentu saja seorang wanita cantik yang lain). Dalam versi bahasa Inggris, yang saya duga diterjemahkan dari versi bahasa Perancis, kisah Ryo-Sayaka belum ditamatkan. Ngomong-ngomong, peran Kaori boleh dikatakan masih sangat minor dalam bab-bab di buku ini. Ryo-lah yang sepanjang cerita jadi jagoannya.

Segundo tomo de City Hunter y da la sensación de que el manga coge velocidad de crucero, los villanos están claros (la organización malvada) y durante la mayor parte del tomo tenemos una historia en la que Ryo se los quita de encima durante un tiempo. Excusa? Sin duda, pero efectiva para poder hacer historias más pequeñas y distendidas.
Llama mucho la atención la duración variable de los capítulos, con uno de más de cien páginas y otro que apenas supera las treinta (y un tercero que no recuerdo lo que dura). Es curioso porque acostumbran a estar constreñidos por las páginas de la revista en la que se publicó en su momento.
Las historias en sí me parece buenas las tres, y aunque la primera sea más larga y tenga más acción me parece más graciosa la última, donde Ryo hará de guardaespaldas de una chica de instituto.
Son historias divertidas, con acción, algo guarrillas por momentos (como las constantes erecciones del protagonista) pero con un tono simpático que casa muy bien con los momentos dramáticos. Además, la relación entre los dos protagonistas funciona como un tiro, y se va afianzando poco a poco a medida que se conocen más y les conocemos nosotros.
Estoy disfrutando mucho de la relectura, quizás más que en su momento, tendré que intentar encontrar alguna forma alternativa de seguir leyendo en el punto en que lo dejó mangaline en su momento.

The transitions of this volume were like a pendulum.
I liked the baron as a character but the series seemed to take a bad twist in his arch. Things got really absurd. For example, the baron kills 26 men after their leader doesn’t have any information on Ryo, and then the baron crazily goes after Ryo, blowing up public areas with his grenade launcher arm.
In that arc, Ryo’s tactics became repetitive. He always seemed a step ahead of his enemies so much that his counters seemed ridiculous. He walks into an illicit casino and manages to beat the casino owner at his own game and goes through the casino trigger-happy. Later, Ryo puts nails in the exhaust of his car that act as a nail gun when he is surrounded. A lot of these counters seemed way too risky to even attempt and frivolous. The baron arc went downhill for me.
The beginning of the next arc seemed like it was going to continue the trend. Ryo finds himself trapped by the Dragon Society’s head and walks away unscathed with 100 hundred million yen after shooting down the society’s harpoon gunners. In a later scene, Ryo shoots straight through the front window of a car to disable Sayaka and her friend from running at him, which causes them to run straight into a pool and Sayaka comes miraculously uninjured from the crash. These risky, albeit enjoyable scenes, just seem arrogant at times.
I know that the absurdity is a signature of the series but it seems to take it too far at times. This calculated, highly risky move by Ryo just seems like it could have been done in a more efficient, safer way, without putting anyone at harm. Kaori and Sayaka could easily have been killed at any point.
I also am a bit disappointed in the direction of the series. It seemed to be taking a realistic view of a Japanese sweeper in the 80s but instead it seems like a Japan full of dandy villains and zombies.
The women have also seem to be pretty dimensional. Either you got Kaori, a rambunctious, tom girl, or you got Sayaka and the nameless women that are serious and just bombshells. Natsumi Azuki was a refreshing exception. I am not trying to write like a feminist but it is a bit repetitive the stereotyping of the women. I may just be a bit bored with it because of the repetitiveness of the risky maneuvers by Ryo.
The series also reached a taboo point for me when Ryo was sleeping in the same bed as Sayaka, a senior in high school. She was also wearing a men’s shirt while Ryo was naked. During breakfast, Ryo remarked that they had too much to drink the day before and they “must have slept together without noticing”. Some other minor taboo portions include when Ryo shoots under Kaoir’s uplifted skirt, which most likely revealed her female genitalia to the stunned harpoon enemies, and when Ryo cut a school girl’s dress after he kneels down to look into the skirt and cites that it’s too long.
Ultimately, the arc with Sayaka saved the volume for me. It brought back that refreshing style that had been lost in the baron arc. I rarely laugh out loud when reading literature ( I can only recall doing so once ),and I laughed twice, the first when Sayaka’s father was intently spying on her when she was trying to seduce Ryo, and when Ryo tells Sayaka that Kaori isn’t an ordinary woman because Sayaka learned that her underlings failed to capture Kaori and were now in Kaori’s possession.
Rating Update 3/12/2019 - 4 to 3 stars. My liking of the sections mentioned, would have earned this volume 3 stars, but I was bored with a lot of it, hence the 3 star rating.
Update 4/9/19- The first half of the volume that dealt with the Baron really does bring down the rating but the later half with Sayaka and the short Dragon Society story equalize the volume to 3 stars.
Update 8 June 2019
With the adoption of my new rating system, a three star rating is befitting. The ending to the baron arc and the Dragon Society issue earned roughly between a two and three star rating and the Sayaka arc earned a four star rating. The average of the volume is around three stars. These ratings are justified through the original review and subsequent updates.

Update
I believe that this is a close, 2.5 star-rated book. Because of my slight disbelief at the three star-rating, I have changed the color of the rating from green to red with a grey outline.
February 5, 2020
Update
I do not understand the reasoning in the last update as to why I have changed the rating to red. I have now changed the rating to yellow.
April 5, 2020
Update
I have changed the rating type from 2.5BB to 2.5BBA. I specifically created the 2.5BBA rating type for this volume. Here is its description: "Somewhat like the 2.5BB rating type: “Had some boring two star-sections taking up large chunks but the three star-rated sections barley outnumber the two star-rated sections”. This volume barely reaches a 2.5 star-rating. It’s more of a sum of the whole book, which is why rating the book at three stars feels just as bad as rating the book at two stars. There are also some criticisms of the book that could fall under a one star-rating category that dampen the book, as well as tid-bits of four star-rated content". The one star-rated content could be the criticisms I mentioned in the original review and successive updates, which I am currently unsure whether they fall in the one star-rated category, though I know they dampen the book. I considered the humor in the volume to be examples of the four star-rated content mentioned in the description.
As a general reminder, the first half of the original review is harshly critiquing nit-picky parts of the book before the paragraph starting with "Ultimately, the arc with Sayaka saved the volume", generalizes the good from the Sayaka arc, despite the criticisms. I write this as a reminder not to lower the rating solely because much of the original review is dedicated to criticizing the volume.
