SYNOPSIS
Ryo Saeba's been scraping by without work, so when a desperate woman walks through his door, he jumps at the chance. She's Sayaka, a TV news anchor terrified for her life, and her pursuers aren't random thugs, they're her own employers at the station. Someone powerful wants her dead, and they're willing to throw resources and violence at the problem until she's gone. Ryo knows he's out of his depth taking on an entire corporation, but the money's good and her fear feels genuine. What should be a straightforward protection job quickly spirals into something messier. Nothing adds up right. The station's motives stay murky, the danger keeps escalating, and Ryo discovers that saving Sayaka means untangling a web of corruption and conspiracy that goes deeper than either of them expected. It's City Hunter doing what it does best: mixing hard-boiled detective work with comedy and heart, where a mercenary with a conscience finds himself in way over his head, but goes all in anyway.
