Total Volume Count: 30 (ongoing)

Kenn's Comment: A loose sequel to the series City Hunter. I haven't read City Hunter myself, but it's not really important for this series. It's really good. It was a bit hard for me to get the fact that Shanin is still pretty young. She just looks so mature! Anywho, it takes a few chapters for the story to settle down, but once it does (and even before it did) the series is really something. Definitely recommend this. It had an anime too. I guess...around 2005. Had 50 episodes. Was it popular? At 50 episodes, it had to be. 30 volumes of manga, and still going. Successful series much? I'm pretty sure Shanin is dressed different every arc...

Summary from MangaUpdates:
A young Taiwanese assassin codenamed "Glass Heart" committed suicide by jumping off a building, and her heart was pierced by a metal fence. Miraculously, her life was saved by heart transplantation. During her recovery she began to experience strange dreams, which led her to Japan looking for the donor of her heart, who happens to be Kaori Makimura, former partner of City Hunter.
