Cat’s Eye
The work of superstar author Hojo Tsukasa has been adapted into anime, films, stage plays, and more. A new CAT’S EYE anime is currently being developed for streaming.
This English-language omnibus edition contains the first three volumes of the series. Beautifully printed and packed with all of the original art, including a 16-page full-color insert and a 48-page 2-color insert, this edition is sure to be prized.
Café owners by day, art thieves by night, the three sisters Hitomi, Rui, and Ai have high-risk lives outside of their day jobs. Hitomi especially needs to keep her secret under wraps, since she’s dating Toshio—the police officer assigned to catch the Cat’s Eye thief!
Cat’s Eye’s targets are easy to spot: They’re all art pieces authored by acclaimed genius painter Heinz. What museums don’t know is that this artist is the missing father to the three “Cat’s Eye” siblings.
As the sisters reclaim one piece after another, spreading their infamous name, a conspiracy gradually begins to reveal itself. How can their father come out of hiding when the bloodthirsty syndicate that betrayed him to steal his work and fame—many of whom were once his closest apprentices and art collectors—are still so powerful in the art world?
When Cat’s Eye tightropes another canvas out of a heavily guarded exhibit, the cops are pressed to apprehend the thief. Can the sisters discover the truth about their missing father? Or will they be apprehended by Hitomi’s star-crossed lover Toshio or killed by the looming syndicate responsible for the father’s disappearance.
As the heists continue, the stakes only get higher.
Known for his exceptional storytelling, Tsukasa Hojo is also the mastermind behind the iconic series City Hunter, showcasing his remarkable ability to weave thrilling narratives full of action and intrigue.
