Kana to Publish: City Hunter and Cat’s Eye
APRIL 17, 2025— NEW YORK, NY— Kana proudly announces the release of two landmark manga series by legendary mangaka Tsukasa Hojo: City Hunter and Cat’s Eye. Both series, beloved for decades, are now set to captivate English-language audiences in gorgeous collector’s omnibus editions on sale in September 2025.
City Hunter, the iconic manga inspired by 1980s Tokyo nightlife, arrives in a deluxe English-language omnibus edition containing the first three volumes of the original Japanese series, featuring all original art and a stunning six-page full-color insert. Known worldwide for blending action, comedy, and romance, City Hunter follows Ryo Saeba, an exceptional marksman and charismatic antihero, as he navigates the thrilling and dangerous underbelly of Tokyo. The recent Netflix adaptation of City Hunter (2024) was a monumental success, becoming the #1 most-watched film on Netflix Japan for two consecutive weeks, as well as the top non-English film globally upon release.
Joining City Hunter, Cat’s Eye, a sparkling romantic-action-comedy, receives its first-ever English manga release. Following sisters Rui, Ai, and Hitomi as they embark on high-stakes art heists to uncover the mystery behind their father’s disappearance, Cat’s Eye masterfully blends romance, suspense, and humor. Fans can also look forward to a new anime adaptation exclusively premiering on Disney+ in fall 2025, perfectly timed to coincide with Kana’s English release.
“Tsukasa Hojo’s work continues to resonate powerfully across generations and global audiences,” said Joseph Montange, Publisher of Kana.“ With Netflix‘s remarkable success with City Hunter and the highly anticipated Disney+ Cat’s Eye adaptation, these manga are perfectly poised to delight longtime fans and introduce new readers to Hojo’s stylish storytelling and dynamic artistry.”
Tsukasa Hojo, acclaimed mentor to manga superstars Takehiko Inoue (Vagabond, Slam Dunk) and Haruto Umezawa (BØY), is renowned for his distinctive style, sharp detail, and vibrant characterizations. Founder of manga publisher Coamix, Hojo’s works remain influential cornerstones of manga culture.
Kana’s omnibus editions of City Hunter and Cat’s Eye are elegantly packaged in signature paperback dust jackets with beautifully designed spine art, making them perfect for both new readers and longtime collectors.
The City Hunter and Cat’s Eye omnibus editions will be available from all major bookstores and online retailers this fall.
