Synopsis
Taiwanese assassin "Glass Heart" gets new heart, haunted by memories, seeks truth in Japan, meets City Hunter figures.
A young Taiwanese assassin known only by the codename "Glass Heart" survives a desperate leap from a high-rise, her life hanging by a thread when a metal fence pierces her chest. Against all odds, an emergency heart transplant grants her a second chance—but with it come haunting dreams that feel like borrowed memories. Drawn by an inexplicable pull, she leaves Taiwan for Japan, hoping to uncover the truth behind the visions that now guide her. There, she crosses paths with figures connected to the legendary underground "sweeper" Ryo Saeba, setting the stage for a new tale that echoes the spirit of City Hunter while charting its own path. Note: The creator has stated that this story features familiar faces from City Hunter but unfolds in a separate world, offering a fresh take on beloved characters without continuing their previous adventures.
