The series ran in Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1985's 13th issue until 1990.[1][2] The series was printed in 35 collected volumes by Shueisha under the Jump Comics range between January 15, 1986 and April 15, 1992.[3][4] In these volumes, the series is grouped into 55 different "episodes" instead of as their original individual chapters, and each centered on a different heroine.[5][6]
Attempts were made to license the series for the American comic market during the 1980s; however, Hojo insisted the manga should be released in the right-to-left format. In 2002 Coamix created an American subsidiary, Gutsoon! Entertainment. City Hunter was a flagship title in their Raijin Comics Anthology. Raijin switched from a weekly format to a monthly format before being canceled after 46 issues.[7]
The series is currently available to read in Japanese as an iPhone application by Rainbow Apps.[8]
