Another masterpiece by Tsukasa Hojo, ``City Hunter,'' is set in Shinjuku and revolves around a sweeper who loves women but is a skilled sweeper. The exhibition of approximately 70 original City Hunter drawings is one of the largest in number at past exhibitions.
Tsukasa Hojo himself has remade the 40-year-old one-shot ``Space Angel,'' which was created from the 1979 Tezuka Prize entry! A panel display of all 83 pages!
This is a self-remake of ``Space Angel,'' which can be said to be one of the roots of Tsukasa Hojo's creation. The structure and story remain the same as they were back then, but have been completely rewritten over 40 years. This is a very rare opportunity to see the evolution from the beginning to the present.
The raw manuscript of the one-shot work “City Hunter -Double Edge-” is on display for the first time!
The one-shot work that became the prototype for "City Hunter" was originally inspired by the character of Masato Kamiya, also known as "Mouse", who appeared in "Cats' Eye", and the main character of "City Hunter", Ryo Saeba. was born. We will exhibit for the first time the raw manuscript of ``City Hunter -Double Edge-'', one of the two one-shot works in this exhibition.
