The City Hunter manga follows the exploits of Ryo Saeba. Ryo hires himself out as an avenger, investigator, but most often as a body guard. Requests for his services are left on a blackboard in the lower floors of the My City building in Shinjuku. All his cases, in one way or another, always end up dealing with beautiful women. Ryo always comes through, though the lessons learned by the clients and sometimes himself, are not always what they expect.
Ryo's lecherous advances toward his clients and Kaori's protection of same, always leads to some very humorous situations. Throw in the fact that Saeko will occasionally draft him into jobs she can't strictly take care of by following the letter of the law, and then Umi Bozu and the way some of their jobs come up on opposite sides, and you have the makings of a really enjoyable time!
Hojo's art is crisp and extremely realistic. His attention to detail is superb. As the series goes on, his art improves. And though the series starts out somewhat gloomy, as it goes on the humor becomes more and more a part of the story.
