Tsukasa 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.
El shōnen tiene mucho de huida hacia adelante, sobre todo cuando pasa de puntillas sobre las inconsistencias del planteamiento. Aquí poco importa que las protagonistas actúen a cara descubierta, su padre esté en el centro de todos los robos que cometen, los policías que las persiguen sean parte fundamental de su vida... El centro es la acción, el enredamiento de la trama, las pequeñas gotas de romance, la sexualización (en la medida que permitía la época) de las protagonistas... Y esto Hōjō empieza a mostrar que sabía hacerlo, logrando un tebeo entretenido, que es de lo que se trata.

But what I love most is that Cat’s Eye never loses its fun. The 𝙚𝙥𝙞𝙨𝙤𝙙𝙞𝙘 𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙛𝙩𝙨 are still ridiculously entertaining, and 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙞𝙨 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙨𝙤 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚. The “bad guys” are usually just rich art owners, while both the thieves and the police officers are impossible not to root for. 🫶🏻🐈⬛👮🏻♂️ It honestly makes it hard to pick a side 🙌🏻 especially because Toshio is such a green flag

Die Geheimnisse werden immer spannender, die Story entwickelt sich stetig weiter und endlich erfahren wir mehr darüber, warum die Schwestern das alles überhaupt machen. Besonders die Einblicke in die Familiengeschichte und der langsam entstehende größere Handlungsbogen hinter den einzelnen Raubzügen gefallen mir richtig gut.
Die einzelnen Kunstdiebstähle machen einfach unglaublich viel Spaß und wirklich jede Figur ist auf ihre eigene Art liebenswert. Die „Bösen“ sind meistens die reichen Kunstbesitzer, während man sowohl mit den Diebinnen als auch mit der Polizei mitfiebert 🫶🏻🐈⬛👮🏻♂️ Es fällt mir ehrlich schwer, mich für eine Seite zu entscheiden 🙌🏻 besonders weil Toshio einfach die größte Green Flag ist. Und dann noch dieser Zeichenstil… absolut wunderschön.
I am in love with this manga, it is so much fun. I love the style and the main characters, the plot thickens and we get to learn more about the family's background. I can't wait to read the next one!
