Story

My name is Ryo Saeba, also known as City Hunter. In this line of work, I’m a well-known professional “sweeper.”

I take on all kinds of jobs, from protecting beautiful women to assassinations. In other words, I’m a cleaner who gets rid of the scum of the city. That means I live a life constantly on the edge. My partner, Kaori, is the younger sister of my deceased best friend, but she never brings in any decent jobs.

So, what kind of work is waiting for me today?

New Features
