Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne ( Japanese 神 風 怪 盗 ジ ャ ン ヌ , Kamikaze Kaitō Jannu ) is a manga series by Arina Tanemura . It can be assigned to the Shōjo genre, so it is aimed primarily at young girls, and was also filmed as an anime series. The main character of the story is a magical girl .
action
The 16-year-old Marron Kusakabe ( 日下 部 ま ろ ん , Kusakabe Maron ) is actually a completely normal student - but she is also the reincarnation of the French freedom fighter Jeanne d'Arc . With the help of the little angel Fynn Fish ( フ ィ ン ・ フ ィ ッ シ ュ , Fin Fisshu ) she can transform herself into the thief Jeanne to hunt demons, which at the beginning of the series only appear in works of art, but later also in normal objects (in the manga there are only valuable pictures on which, when the demon has been defeated, an angel picture appears) and take possession of "pure" people to whom these works of art mean something. If a demon is defeated, it turns into a chess piece, the possessed is freed and the object disappears. Therefore, Jeanne is considered a mysterious thief ( 怪 盗 , Kaitō ) and is pursued by the police and her best friend Miyako Tōdaiji ( 東大寺 都 ), the daughter of a police officer.
Marron's neighbor Chiaki Nagoya ( 名古屋 稚 空 ), who is generally very popular with girls because of his good looks, has a similar fate. He is in love with Marron, who eventually returns his love. However, he too leads a secret demon hunter double life and, as Sindbad, the thief , competes with Jeanne. He is also accompanied by a little angel named Access Time ( ア ク セ ス ・ タ イ ム , Akusesu Taimu ). Since Jeanne acts on behalf of God, she thinks Sinbad must have been sent by the devil (in the anime "The Evil King").
As it turns out, however, Sindbad tries above all to protect Jeanne from Fynn. The little angel uses their trust to act on behalf of Satan. Fynn was banished from heaven as a fallen angel, but before her soul could be cleansed and wiped out, she accepted the devil's offer and went with him. Her job since then has been to destroy Marron's soul by first making friends with her and then betraying her. So Marron could no longer transform into Jeanne and use God's power. In the anime, Fynn, the angel of God, is kidnapped by the evil king's servants and brainwashed. Now she should continue to accompany Marron and finally remove the captured demons from her and bring them to the evil king so that he can strengthen himself.
Marron finally succeeds in freeing Fynn from the power of evil. A happy ending follows in the anime. Actually, Marron is not only the rebirth of Jeanne D'Arcs, but also the rebirth of Eve, who at that time received a third of his heavenly power from God so that she could be reborn again and again after leaving paradise. After Eve left paradise, the loneliness that God banished from his body became the devil. From then on he tried to kill people and God in order to get revenge for his loneliness.
At the end of the manga you can see that Marron and Chiaki as well as Miyako and Yamato Minazuki ( 水 無 月 大 和 ), one of their former classmates, got married. Their children Natsuki ( 魚 月 ) and Shinji ( 心 時 ) are the reincarnations of Fynn and Access.
Publications
Manga
Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne was published in Japan from February 1998 to November 2000 in individual chapters in the Japanese manga magazine Ribon , for which Arina Tanemura draws most of her works. The Shueisha publishing house published these individual chapters in seven edited volumes.
The manga was published in the USA, Poland and Germany, among others. Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne was published in German from 2001 to 2003 by Egmont Manga & Anime . The manga was in 2002 number 2 of the best-selling manga of the EMA publishing house (Rank 1 occupied Ranma ½ ). Due to this great success of the German version of the manga, further translations of Tanemura's works into German followed. From September 2008 EMA published a new edition with new cover pictures and in a larger format as Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne Perfect Edition .
In July 2000, a 72-page art book on the manga was published in Japan . This was published in April 2002 in Germany by EMA.
Anime
Toei Animation 's production studio produced a 44-part anime series based on the manga, which was broadcast on Japanese television channel TV Asahi from February 1999 to January 2000 . It contains some elementary differences to the manga, including new characters and a fundamentally different ending. In particular, the references to religion were only adopted in a very flattened form. God himself only plays a passive role here, the storyline about the fall of man also only appears in the manga. Also noticeable is the lack of Fynn's past in connection with the angels Toki and Cersia .
The series was broadcast under the title Jeanne, the Kamikaze thief from August 27 to October 26, 2001 on German television on RTL II . Several repetitions followed. The dubbed version was published by Anime Virtual (now Kazé) in four slim pack boxes with two DVDs each.
On February 25, 2011 there was a new release as a complete edition with all eight DVDs under the label Kazé. The box only offers the German dubbed version. There are 40 trailers as "extras", five per DVD. In addition, each of the eight DVDs has a reversible cover without the FSK logo.
