The 'City Hunter' Mega Exhibition is currently taking place at the Ueno Royal Museum, celebrating the 40th anniversary of this legendary manga. Running until December 28, the exhibition showcases over 400 exquisite original illustrations created by Tsukasa Hojo, spread across seven captivating chapters.

Originally serialized from 1985 to 1991 in 'Weekly Shonen Jump,' 'City Hunter' has captivated audiences worldwide with its thrilling narratives featuring the elite sweeper Ryou Saeba and his partner Kaori Makimura as they confront crime in the vibrant streets of Shinjuku.
