Apparently the Phantom Thief Jeanne manga is being re-released. I've never watched the show or read the manga, but after reading a few spoilers a couple of months ago, I want to read it. I'm pretty excited about the re-release for that reason.

Has anyone else read or watched Phantom Thief Jeanne? What do you think of it?

I still have my copies of CMX's release (god bless 'em, they were one of the only manga publishers that printed 70's and 80's manga in the day)   I really liked it. It's actually my favorite Arina Tanemura work from what I've read. 

It's kinda...soap opera-y though? almost to the point of it being ridiculous XD like by the second half it kinda stops being about Jeanne fighting bad guys and more about Maron's relationship with Chiaki. and her mascot friend Finn. 

As a warning:  

*kinda nsfw spoiler*:

I think it has a really interesting reveals and twists about the relationship with God and humanity in there. If you're into religious symbolism idk. 

I haven't seen much of the anime, but from what I've read I think it follows it close enough

I enjoyed it, but I thought things were a little bit rushed?

Mmkay, so I'm thinking of getting a copy of the first volume of this manga! But since it's been rereleased recently, I'm not sure which version is better... Does it matter which version of the manga I get? I'm sort of leaning towards the CMX translation because it's $0.78 cheaper. But I don't want to get it if it's, like, really inferior.

EDIT: I probably should've read the other posts in this thread before posting, LOL. Edited the post to fit the thread better.

I have never seen Phantom Thief Jeanne, but I am planning on watching it soon since I heard that it's a very good series.
