Kusakabe Maron has lived alone for a long time, since she was young and
her parents left to travel abroad for their jobs. Her rent gets paid
every month, and she always has money for food or whatever else she
needs or wants, but her parents haven't even sent a single letter to her
in all the years they've been gone. Even though right across the hall
is Maron's best friend, and she always puts on a brave face, Maron
always dreads the empty apartment at night and the time of day when she
stops and checks her mail box, which never has anything in it.
Then she meets Finn Fish, the tiny angel-in-training which tells her who
she really is: Kaitou Jeanne, the reincarnation of Joan of Arc (called
by her French name, Jeanne d'Arc in the series)! Now, as well as
dealling with normal high school and an empty mailbox, at night Maron
must become Kaitou Jeanne, the amazing art thief who uses special divine
tools given to her by the will of God to sneak into people's homes and
other places to "steal" beautiful objects which have been inhabited by
demons who control the beautiful souls of the people who love the art.
These people become greedy and cruel, and will stop at nothing to save
the art. And so Jeanne leaves a note card, designating the time she will
arrive to steal the art. The process used to seal the demon, however,
also causes the art to disappear, and where paintings were a beautiful
angel now fills the empty canvas. However, the athorities cannot allow
this to go on, and Maron's best friend, who dreams of becoming a
detective and is the daughtor of a police chief, will stop at nothing to
capture Jeanne and comes up with a new trap every night. Then the
smooth-talking Chiaki moves in to the apartment next door to Maron, at
the same time as Kaitou Sinbad appears and begins to seal demons as
though he were in competition with Jeanne, and with his sidekick,
another angel-in-training named Access Time, he is beginning to thwart
the police as well as Jeanne. Maron might have bitten off more than she
can chew now, because the greatest obstacles still lies ahead: Falling
in love with her worst enemy next to the devil himself.
