I’m just about finished with the Phantom Thief Jeanne manga, also known as Kamikaze Kaitō Jeanne, by Arina Tanemura, which, conveniently, saw a republication from Viz Media in 2014, making it an unusually easy-to-acquire older title. The anime from Toei Animation has, as far as I know, never seen a commercial release in English, so our discussion will be of the manga.
I was hoping to have more of Saint Tail under my belt before I talked about Jeanne, but that one, which I believe was only published in English in a flopped edition from the now-largely-defunct Tokyopop, is hard to acquire, and I have only ever found its anime adaptation being sold at outrageous collectors’ prices bigger than my budget. Nonetheless, I think I’ve seen enough of it that we can make some meaningful comparisons with Jeanne, which clearly draws on it, even if I can’t justifiably give it a full review.
Anyway, we previously had some Saint Tail fan art, so now have some Phantom Thief Jeanne fan art.
