Another work by Tsukasa Hojo.
This story is based in a parallel universe of 'City Hunter'. 

In 2001, Tsukasa Hojo, who created City Hunter, started a follow-up series titled Angel Heart, where the character of Kaori Makimura is killed and her heart transplanted into Li Xiang Ying, Angel Heart's protagonist. The author mentioned in the first tankoubon volume that Angel Heart only shares the same characters as City Hunter but not its continuation. Therefore, the events take place in a parallel universe.
Published in the Weekly Comic Bunch from 2001 throughout 2010, it was renewed in Monthly Comic Zenon under the title of Angel Heart: 2nd Season after the cancellation of Bunch. An animated television series based on the manga aired in Japan from October 3, 2005 to September 25, 2006, lasting 50 episodes.- Wikipedia Source

Plot
The protagonist is Glass Heart, a former assassin who has remained in coma in Taiwan for a year after a heart transplant, has awakened. Haunted by images of her past as well as people whom she has no recollection of, she begins her investigation and travels back to Shinjuku for answers. There, she meets 'City Hunter' Ryo Saeba and the story follows her as she continues to move on with a normal life.

(There are substantial factual differences between the two series, such as the origins of Ryo as City Hunter, Kaori and Ryo's relationship, the circumstances of Hideyuki's death, and that several main characters previously present in City Hunter are not present in Angel Heart.)
