It seems the notorious Kid the Phantom Thief has returned after eight years. At first, high school student and master illusionist Kaito seeks to challenge the magic trick-wielding outlaw out of pride, but then he learns that his deceased father was actually Kid the Phantom Thief, so who is the newcomer? Kaito puts on his dad's old cape, hat, and monocle and takes to the air to get answers.

When Inspector Nakamori catches a glimpse of Kaito's face during an attempted robbery, the young magician has to "prove" he's not Kid the Phantom Thief by going on a date with Aoko at the same time Kid is supposed to make his next appearance!
