City Hunter) gets hired for a simple case of finding a lost pet. However it quickly becomes a bit more complicated. City Hunter: Angel Dust arrives on Blu-ray in July. Here’s the press release from Shout! Studios:

ABOUT CITY HUNTER: ANGEL DUST
Ryo Saeba is known as City Hunter, the top “sweeper” within the underworld. Based in Shinjuku as a private detective, he and his partner Kaoru Makimura take on a variety of clients. Their latest case is provided by Angie, a filmmaker, with a simple request – to find her missing cat. Ryo is thrilled by Angie’s beautiful looks while Kaori is thrilled by the hefty reward…
