Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne is the story of sixteen year-old Kusakabe Maron, a normal highschool girl who also happens to be the reincarnation of Joan of Arc.
One night, the 'angel' Fin Fish comes to her with a mission, supposedly from Kami-sama (god). The mission is to seal the evil
Maou (the devil) has planted in various beautiful objects in the world in order to steal Kami-sam's power. To seal the evil, Maron must transform into Kaitou Jeanne. Kaitou Jeanne, seemingly a thief, 'steals' the evil paintings and such, but, in reality, is only sealing the evil.
For a while, the only interference Maron has is Miyako, her childhood friend and daughter of a detective. Miyako always trys to stop Jeanne from stealing the painting, but fails each time.

Though magic girl mangas are usually something to stay away from, Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne is an exception.
