About Kaitou Reinya

Looking for background on Kaitou Reinya? This comedy series by Stingray (2010) starts out like this. At its core: Reinya appears to be an average girl working at a convenience store but she is in fact, the Phantom Thief Reinya. Together with her assistant Chūtarō in their secret hideout right below the local convenience store, Reinya hatches plans to steal various treasures made of gold.

As things develop, they face an incompetent trio of a perverted police inspector, a policewoman who is a natural airhead, and a detective totally infatuated with Reinya, all of them in a police station beside Reinya's convenience store.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Think of it as a pick for viewers who want something light between heavier series.
