Case Closed, Vol. 16, 16

The first appearance of Phantom Thief 1412, otherwise known as Kaitou Kid, a rival to match our shrunken detective any day of the week. Kaitou Kid (first appearing in Gosho Aoyama's manga series, "Magic Kaito", not currently available in English), provides in volume sixteen, all the tricks that make him one of the world's best criminal masterminds. From his skill in disguise, to his devilish riddles, even his famous escape on a white hang glider, he lives up to his reputation. When Conan and Kid first meet, it's a clash of wits to make any fan of them proud, setting up later meetings of pure enjoyment. With interesting twists, wicked deception and laughable taunting, this volume is one of THE volumes for Conan and Kid fans. This volume corresponds with the anime cases 078/079: Phantom Thief 1412 (available from Funimation).
