About Cat's Eye

By day, Rui, Ai, and Hitomi are café owners; by night, they are daring art thieves. Hitomi's secret is complicated by her relationship with Toshio, the police officer chasing the Cat’s Eye thief.

Their heists focus on art pieces by Heinz, a famed painter and their missing father. As they reclaim their father’s works and uncover conspiracies tied to powerful syndicates, the sisters face growing dangers.
