■Story
My name is Ryo Saeba—also known as the City Hunter. In this line of work, I’m a sweeper, and a well-known one at that. From guarding beautiful women to taking on assassinations, I handle it all. Think of me as the city’s cleaner—wiping out the trash on its streets. That means every day is a dance with danger. My partner Kaori, the younger sister of my late best friend, doesn’t exactly bring in the most glamorous jobs. Still, I can’t help but wonder… what kind of work will fall into my hands today?

We also have a teaser trailer for the title. You can check that out below.
