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.

I'm pleasantly surprised by the turn of events and the broad, interesting storyline, especially regarding the issue with the girls' father.
This installment is much better than the first one, with more serious and intense moments that make it really good!

The plot thickens as the three women continue on stealing valuable paintings during the night and acting like coffee house owners by day. We are introduced to another sub main character who throws a spanner into Cat's Eye crew plus bet between this character and Ai (the younger sister).
It was never well explained in the first manga as to why the 3 ladies are stealing paintings of high value and I just assumed they were in it for the money..But it appears Cat Eye has much more of a background that will hopefully be explained in more detail in further mangas! Without saying to much their father seems to play a very powerful reason as to why they are doing what they're doing.
The character development is slowly creeping into the book as we know a little more about each character except the eldest sister (the one who plans the heists). I'm hoping that we'll get to see more about her besides the little we know already.
Personally, I'm enjoying this as a light bit of fluff while at times it shows a serious side but without over doing it. It's clear the manga is dated by the art style but that shouldn't stop you reading something enjoyable!
