About the author
Tsukasa Hōjō
762 books98 followersTsukasa Hojo (北条司) 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.

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.

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!

Just as preposterous as book 1. The thieves run a cafe called Cat’s eye and the logo is the SAME as the one on the card the criminal named Cats eye leaves at the scene of every crime and the head detective on the case is dating one of the thieves…they’ve stollen like 18 paintings at this point and nobody has put two and two together! I have to believe this is part of the comedy in this book even if it’s played straight.
Having said all this, I still enjoy how early-80’s this feels with the little sight gags and fashions and cool buildings and great artwork.

Once again, this was so fun. At this point, I can't say too much, but I loved the introduction of new characters and the growing stakes of each heist. I'm looking forward to where this story goes and can't wait to get into the anime.
