One of the newest anime series in Japan, Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne is
winning over a wide audience both in its native land as well as in
the United States. Though the show has yet to come to America,
anime fans are already on the lookout for Kaito Jeanne.
Based on the Manga "Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne" (Heavenly Wind Thief Jeanne) By Arina Tanemura, Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne is shoujo anime with fantastic music, wonderful art, and above all a great story line. It follows the story of a high school student named Maron. Maron is a part of a rhythmic gymnastics team, and uses her abilities when she becomes Kaito Jeanne, agent for the heavens. Jeanne is assisted by a small angel in training named Fin. Fin helps Maron out by giving her information about new missions, and guiding her along the way. As Jeanne, it is her duty to find evil spirits within paintings owned by different people, and drive them out while collecting the energy for the side of good. When Jeanne does so, the painting is replaced by an image of an angel, and the demon turns into a chess piece. If any other person tried to exercise the spirit, it would probably overtake them, but Maron is a reincarnation of Jeanne (Joan) of Arc, which gives her the powers of heaven. On a larger scale, Jeanne's mission is to collect this energy for the side of good, and at the end of the year 1999 the side with the most energy will win. (I'm not sure what they win... but it must be important.)
However, no competition would be complete without an opposition, and for Jeanne opposition comes in the form of Kaito Sinbad, agent for the side of darkness. Sinbad fist shows up as Chikai, a boy roughly the same age as Maron who moves in to the apartment next to her. At first, Maron is overwhelmed by his handsome face and suave manner (it doesn't take long before every other girl at their high school feels the same way) but soon she becomes disgusted with his popularity and tries to avoid showing her true feelings for him. Chikai has no such reservations and makes several public proclamations of his love for Maron, however she shirks them as idle claims. Things become more interesting as it's revealed that one of Maron's teachers is the reincarnation of a knight who was in love with Jeanne - and came back to be with her.
