After watching the Anime I wanted to know how this story will end and decided to pick up the Manga and I was positively surprised. 18 volumes of phantom thief action: Three beautiful and daring sisters playing cat and mouse with the police while literally living with them. A combination of comedy, interesting love-triangles and some nice action simply never gets boring. As fan of Lupin III and Kaito Kid I simply couldn’t avoid this one. In opposition to the Anime the story is a bit more complex featuring additional important regular characters and the overall plot is exploited much more forcing a lot ofcharacter development especially in the later volumes. It’s hard to imagine this series was drawn in the early 80s if you ignore the content. So much detail and it looks fantastic. I wish more Manga from today would have a similar quality. I really had a great time reading this even having seen the Anime a short while before. I am not completely satisfied with the ending but beside that nothing bothered me or limited my enjoyment.
The protagonists of the series are the three Kisugi sisters—Hitomi, Rui and Ai—who run a café called Cat's Eye. The sisters lead a double life as a trio of highly skilled art thieves, leaving cards with the name "Cat's Eye" at the scene of their crimes. They steal works of art (mostly paintings) that belonged to their long-missing father, Heinz (who was a famous art collector during the Nazi regime), in the hopes of him contacting them. Toshio, the police officer investigating this case is the fiancé of Hitomi. He also swears to capture and bring down the Cat's Eye Gang.
