Well, it starts off fairly straightforward. Maron is your average high school student until one day Fin, an angel, tells her that she is actually the reincarnation of Jeanne d'Arc! Fin informs her that there are evil spirits that are possessing beautiful things, and draining the energy from those who come to enjoy their beauty. It's Maron's job to transform into Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne, and use her extraordinary talents as a "phantom theif" to sneak into places and seal away these evil spirits. Unfortunately, once she does this, the object is destroyed.
There's a very interesting cast of supporting characters, as well. There's Maron's best friend, the daughter of the police cheif, who is hell-bent on capturing the elusive theif Jeanne, as well as a mysterious rival theif, Sindbad. Not to mention all her colorful classmates.
There are two seasons to the show, so two major story arcs. The plot does get much deeper the further you go, delving into each of the main characters' backgrounds and uncovering secrets. Season one is really fun and entertaining, but season two was what *really* hooked me.
