☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis omnibus collects the first three volumes of Tsukasa Hojo's classic 1980s manga series, following the three Kisugi sisters—Hitomi, Rui, and Ai—who run a café by day and pull off heists as the mysterious cat burglar Cat's Eye by night, targeting artworks tied to their missing father. The edition bundles the opening story arcs in a single large volume, presenting the original black-and-white artwork in a new English-language release from Harry N. Abrams in 2025.
"Sexy Dynamite Girls" kicks off the Cat's Eye Omnibus #1 with the iconic Kisugi sisters balancing their dual lives: running a quiet coffee shop by day and executing high-stakes heists by night, all in search of clues to their missing father’s fate. Written by Tsukasa Hojo and Andrew Charles Love, and illustrated with signature flair by Hojo himself—pencils, inks, and letters all by the legendary hand—this collected edition captures the series’ electric blend of style, suspense, and romance. The cover, also by Hojo, perfectly frames the allure and danger of the sisters’ nocturnal mission.
In "Sexy Dynamite Girls," the Kisugi sisters run a quiet coffee shop by day and pull off daring heists by night, tracking down their father’s stolen paintings to uncover his mysterious disappearance. While Detective Toshio Utsumi, who’s secretly dating Hitomi, is hot on their trail, the line between duty and desire blurs as the sisters’ mission grows more personal—and dangerous.
In "Skyscraper Tightrope," Hitomi faces a high-stakes challenge as she prepares to steal a priceless painting from a gallery perched atop a towering skyscraper, knowing her escape route is as perilous as the heist itself. The tension builds with every step, as the city sprawls below and the risk of failure looms just as high.
In "A Tricky Love Affair," the Kisugi sisters must navigate a dangerous moral crossroads when their heist targets a painting whose security chief is the father of the boy Ai is secretly seeing—putting her relationship and his job on the line if the plan goes wrong. Written by the team behind the Cat's Eye Omnibus, this 32-page story blends high-stakes crime with the quiet tension of personal loyalty.
In "Do You Like Blondes?", Hitomi's cool composure cracks when Toshio finds himself drawn to a striking French woman—only to discover she's not just a distraction, but a fellow thief with a dangerous flair. The tension between rivalry and attraction heats up as Cat's Eye's usual heists take a personal turn.
In "The Pesky Rat," Ai challenges Kamiya to a high-stakes bet: if The Mouse can steal a painting before Cat's Eye does, Hitomi will go on a date with him. The tension mounts as both teams race against time, but when The Mouse pulls off the heist with surprising precision, Ai and Hitomi are left stunned—just as the game was meant to be.
Toshio’s dedication to stopping Cat's Eye takes him away from Hitomi’s birthday, but when a burglar breaks into her building, he finds a way to make it right—thanks to a little help from the building’s owner and a gift that means more than he expected. In this quiet, heartfelt moment from Cat's Eye Omnibus #1, the line between duty and desire blurs as Toshio tries to balance his role as protector with the growing weight of his feelings.
In "Get the Goddess of Mars," the Kisugi girls uncover a shocking truth about their father’s legacy when they discover his art has been falsely attributed to an unknown artist known only as "Cranaff." As they dig into the deception, Toshio races to stop a dangerous car bombing, pulling the family deeper into a web of secrets and deception.
In "I Wish We Could Stay Like This," Toshio and Hitomi find themselves trapped in a dark well after a failed pursuit, forcing the detective to rely on the woman he’s been chasing. As they navigate the confined space, Hitomi must balance her cover with an unexpected intimacy, and Toshio begins to question everything he thought he knew.
In "Stumped and Stubborn," Toshio, recently evicted after his apartment was set ablaze by a vengeful stranger, reluctantly moves in with Hitomi as he scrambles to find a new place to live. The story unfolds with quiet tension and shifting dynamics as their uneasy cohabitation tests the boundaries of friendship and patience.
In "Hands Off My Diary!", the tension at the Kisugi household reaches a breaking point, pushing Toshio to question whether Hitomi’s mysterious behavior ties her to the elusive Cat's Eye—just as Det. Asatani has long suspected. With secrets simmering beneath the surface, one diary becomes the fragile line between trust and suspicion.
In "Two Asatanis," Hitomi pulls off a daring impersonation to infiltrate a museum heist, slipping into the role of Det. Asatani—both to outwit the police and settle a personal score. The tension crackles as two versions of the same woman play a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, each trying to stay one step ahead.
