Comment from the original author, Hojo Tsukasa
"City Hunter" has reached its 40th anniversary thanks to all the fans who have supported it up until now. I hope that this exhibition will allow you to feel at least a little of the passion of the era in which Ryo and Kaori lived, as well as the feelings I put into the work. I hope that you will continue to keep their story alive in your hearts.
An immersive experience in the world of City Hunter
This is the real City Hunter. Over 400 original drawings, the largest number ever, will pierce your heart! This exhibition is divided into seven chapters and follows the journey of City Hunter's Ryo Saeba and Kaori Makimura, from their fateful meeting, to the trust they built with their unique colleagues and clients, and how Ryo and Kaori came to recognize each other as irreplaceable partners. The cool, comical, sometimes sad, and heart-wrenching story of City Hunter has been condensed here.
