About the author
Tsukasa Hōjō
728 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.

An excellent omnibus edition of Tsukasa Hojo's original masterworks. Hojo is not easy to translate, and I have seen prints that made the art almost unbearable — the Abrams edition is none of those things, and it is a pleasure to re-read this blast from the past.
The plotline is simple — the Kisugi sisters are secretly the cat burglar gang "Cat's Eye", who steals exclusively artworks by artist Heinz in an attempt to locate their long-lost father. Hitomi's fiancee is also the detective chartered with catching the gang — and their café is also named Cat's Eye, because obviously... never mind. It is a funny and simple story that never fails to enchant the reader. Hojo-san's art is not as refined as in the later Citi Hunter years, but it is still quite well executed — especially considering this manga is piling on pages by the hundreds!

A fun volume but I think the first is better. I don't like the two new detectives who are kind of boorish and gross towards the sisters. Toshio is a sweetheart as always, and I like the love triangle going on between him, Hitomi, and the female detctive.
