About the author
Tsukasa Hōjō
726 books91 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.

La decena de tomos de City Hunter ha caído ya, y aunque reconozco que la trama no ha avanzado absolutamente nada, al final te acaba dando igual, porque disfrutas mucho de los casos sueltos.
Éste décimo tomo ha sido más de mi rollo, bastante menos dramático y muchísimo más humorístico (que creo que es cuando funciona mejor). Además, hemos tenido sólo dos historias en lugar de tres, lo que las ha dejado respirar un poco más.
La primera gira en torno a unas abejas asesinas. Que si virus, que si antídoto... todo eso no está mal del todo, pero lo realmente divertido de ésta historia es la impotencia que causan en Ryo, y lo mal que se lo toma. Divertido a más no poder XD.
Y la segunda historia no se queda corta, con una enfermera que parece más una asesina a sueldo y con una trama que pasa casi entera en una habitación de hospital.
Vamos, que tenemos un buen tomo de City Hunter, haciendo algo mejor lo que a mí me gusta de la serie. Ah, y parece que tenemos nuevo secundario recurrente viviendo con el mentor de Ryo!

Hahaha, yang ini lucu. Featuring sang Profesor yang jago dalam investigasi jaringan komputer. Ryo dan Kaori punya klien dadakan: seorang calon pengantin wanita yang jatuh dari langit. Tapi, peringatan, lucunya benar-benar khusus dewasa!

Pretty decent funny/crime manga series, the story was good but dull at times 😁😴👌

The “A Bride Fell from the Sky” arc stretched out the impotent joke for too long and the recurring theme of Ryo defending a woman and trying to seduce her went severely overboard in the “Do Not Touch the Nurse!” arc. Albeit, there was well placed humor in both arcs, especially the recurring jokes of Kaori being transvestite, but aside from that, this volume felt like a trudge to get through. I also enjoyed seeing the professor reprise his role in this volume and Yoshimi provided good fan service but it is not enough to raise the weak plots and settings of both arcs. The "A Bride Fell from the Sky" spent too much time in Ryo's apartment and “Do Not Touch the Nurse!” arc was almost entirely in one hospital room. I will not allow the fanservice to raise the rating to 3 stars. It saddens me that this series should have a volume rated this low.
Update 9 June 2019
With the adoption of my new rating system, a two star rating is befitting. The original rating and review conform to the new rating system.
