About City Hunter
*City Hunter*, a beloved action-comedy manga by Hojo Tsukasa, was serialized in “Weekly Shonen Jump” from 1985 to 1991, boasting over 50 million copies in circulation worldwide. The timeless story follows Saeba Ryo, an incredibly skilled but notoriously womanizing sweeper, and his capable companion, Makimura Kaori, who supports him both professionally and personally. Together, their dynamic duo solves various requests with exhilarating action and lighthearted humor, charming audiences across generations and around the globe. Even today, *City Hunter* continues to capture significant attention through new anime films, stage adaptations, and live-action movie adaptations both domestically and internationally, proving its enduring appeal.
Fairy Tail’s 40th Anniversary Fragrance Collection
Among the special 40th-anniversary merchandise, Fairy Tail’s “40th Anniversary Fragrance” is a perfume that beautifully blends a smoky undertone with a fleeting brightness of citrus, creating a sophisticated and transparent scent.
The “Saeba Ryo Room Fragrance” captures Ryo’s distinctive aura—hardboiled yet unexpectedly warm—through a woody note. Designed as a room fragrance, it offers a more ethereal transparency that subtly blends into the air, making it a favorite for both men and women.
The collection also includes a range of other character-inspired fragrances, such as “Eau de Parfum” envisioned for Makimura Kaori, Makimura Hideyuki, and Nogami Saeko, as well as a “Pair Fragrance” dedicated to Umibouzu and Miki.
Furthermore, fans will be thrilled with an abundance of merchandise designed to immerse them in the world of *City Hunter*. This includes diffusers inspired by specific episodes like “Kissaten Cat’s Eye” (the cafe run by Umibouzu and Miki), “Tokai no Cinderella” (City Cinderella), and “Garasu-goshi no KISS” (Kiss Through the Glass). There are also fragrances inspired by pivotal episodes such as “Namida no Birthday” (Tears of a Birthday), “Kaori to Ryo no Abunai Ichiya” (Kaori and Ryo’s Dangerous Night), “Kenja no Okurimono!!” (Gift of the Magi!!), “Ikiru Yakusoku” (Promise to Live), and “FOREVER CITY HUNTER!!”.
Completing the collection are “Multi Balms” that can be used for the face, body, and hair, available in six varieties inspired by Saeba Ryo, Makimura Kaori, Makimura Hideyuki, Umibouzu, Nogami Saeko, and Miki.
