1. Complete Synopsis of CAT'S EYE Season 2

The story of "Cat's Eye" centers around three Kisugi sisters: Hitomi, Rui, and Ai, who lead double lives full of secrets. During the day, they are the owners and managers of a charming café called "Cat's Eye" located in Tokyo.

The café serves as a place for them to interact with the normal world, including with a police detective who unknowingly pursues their alter egos. However, when night falls, the three sisters transform into a trio of skilled art thieves known as "Cat's Eye".

They are famous for their exceptional skills in carrying out thefts, always leaving business cards at the crime scenes as a form of mockery towards the authorities. Their audacity can only be surpassed by their unmatched skills.

The main motivation behind their thefts is not wealth or fame. Instead, their goal is to recover all the artworks belonging to their father, Michael Heinz, a famous painter and art collector who mysteriously disappeared years ago.

They believe that by gathering their father's collection, they will find clues regarding his whereabouts. The situation becomes more complicated as Hitomi, the middle sister, enters into a romantic relationship with Toshio Utsumi, a police detective determined to catch "Cat's Eye".

Ironically, Toshio is completely unaware that his girlfriend is one of the thieves he has been pursuing all along. This relationship creates tension and romantic comedy that becomes one of the main attractions of the series. Toshio often pours out his grievances about the case "Cat's Eye" to Hitomi and her sisters at their café, unaware that he is speaking to his own targets. This situation is often exploited by the sisters to gain internal information regarding the police investigation, which they then use to plan their next heist.

In addition to Toshio, there are other characters such as Mitsuko Asatani, Toshio's colleague who suspects Hitomi, and Mr. Nagaishi, a close family friend who supports their actions. The dynamics between the sisters, Toshio, and other supporting characters add layers of intrigue and humor to each episode.

In this new adaptation, the Kisugi sisters will continue to face challenges in their efforts to reclaim their father's artwork while avoiding capture by Toshio and keeping their double identities a secret.

This series promises a thrilling blend of action, strong family bonds, and a captivating touch of romantic comedy. Each heist carried out by "Cat's Eye" is not just a criminal act but a step forward in their quest for the truth behind their father's disappearance. With every piece of art they successfully steal, they hope to uncover the mystery that has long enveloped the Kisugi family.
