Cat's Eye has a cumulative 20 million of its compiled volumes in circulation.
Tokyo Movie Shinsha adapted the manga into a 73-episode television anime that aired from Summer 1983 to Summer 1985. The Lupin III vs. Cat's Eye (Lupin the 3rd vs Cat's Eye) crossover anime premiered exclusively on Amazon's Prime Video in January 2023, commemorating both the 50th anniversary of Lupin III and 40th anniversary of Cat's Eye anime series.
Monthly Comic Zenon ran a remake manga written by Sakura Nakameguro from October 2010 to January 2014, featuring illustrations by Shingo Asai. Coamix released the manga in eight volumes. The publisher also releases Hojo's original manga in English on the Manga Hot service.
Synopsis Cat's Eye follows the adventures of the three Kisugi sisters—Hitomi, Rui, and Ai—who run a charming café by day but transform into a trio of master art thieves by night. Known as Cat's Eye, the sisters leave calling cards at their heist locations, taunting the authorities with their precision and skill. Their ultimate goal isn't wealth but to recover the artworks of their missing father, Heinz, a famed art collector whose collection was lost during the Nazi era.
As they evade capture, the stakes grow higher with Hitomi's romantic entanglement with Toshio, a determined police officer who is not only investigating the Cat's Eye case but also happens to be her unsuspecting fiancé. Blending thrilling heists, intricate family bonds, and a touch of romantic comedy, Cat's Eye masterfully weaves daring action with emotional stakes.
