What Is the Cat’s Eye Anime About?

This manga revolves around three sisters, all of whom operate a café named Cat’s Eye in Tokyo during the day. However, their café serves as a front for their nocturnal activities – the girls don masks and engage in stealing priceless artworks that once belonged to their father when night falls. Despite encountering numerous obstacles, they usually maintain their cool demeanor.

With the recent announcement of a new adaptation, it’s quite rare that the original cast and crew will participate. Therefore, fans must stay tuned for further updates, anticipated for some time in 2025.
