LIDENFILMS is in charge of the animation production. 

The anime adaptation is based on the manga by City Hunter creator Tsukasa Hojo. It was serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine from September 14, 1981 to October 15, 1984, and later received a special one-shot in 1985. Eighteen tankobon volumes were originally published in Japan under the Jump Comics imprint.  

The manga previously inspired two TV anime seasons, a 1997 live-action film adaptation, and crossovers with City Hunter and Lupin the 3rd.
