"City Hunter" is a notorious contractor group with the call sign "XYZ." No matter the job, they will take it, cleaning up the scum on the streets of Tokyo. The key member of City Hunter is Ryou Saeba; armed with his trusty Colt Python and pinpoint accuracy, he works alongside willful tomboy Kaori Makimura.
Together they solve tough cases and tackle the numerous dangers that accompany their trade head-on. However, when he's not out hunting crooks and villains, Ryou finds pleasure in chasing beautiful ladies with only Kaori and her one hundred-ton hammer to keep him in check. From pickpockets and arms dealers to crime syndicates, nothing can stand in the way of Ryou Saeba when he takes aim at his next mission.
Great news for this guide! City Hunter is a completely faithful adaptation of the original manga that contains no filler episodes.
You can enjoy all 51 episodes in chronological order with the peace of mind knowing that each chapter is canonical content that contributes directly to the development of the main story and character arcs. You don't need to skip any episodes to live the complete and authentic experience of City Hunter.
