Black Cat

In the mid-2000s, Carlsen Comics brought the Japanese manga Black Cat to German readers, publishing all 17 issues of the original series. Written and illustrated by Kentaro Yabuki, the story follows a former assassin known as the "Black Cat" who now works as a sweeper—a bounty hunter—while trying to escape his violent past. The series blends action, humor, and lighthearted adventure, showcasing Yabuki's dynamic art style before his later work on To Love-Ru. It remains a key entry for fans of early 2000s shonen manga in translation.
