About this title
Synopsis
It is said that all that glitters—even the stars—can be stolen away in the blink of an eye by the King of Bandits. Heeded by all, this warning has spread around the world, yet nobody knows who the elusive thief truly is. Jing, an inconspicuous vagabond, and Kir, his winged friend with a foul mouth, are not only on the hunt for rare gems and ancient relics, but also anything that catches the eye and pleases the heart. At first glance, most may overlook the filthy boy in his ragged coat with the bird on his shoulder. But when their cherished possessions are taken away, Jing will also steal their attention, opening their eyes to the true intent of the figure they once blindly thought to fear. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Main characters
Jing243 fan favoritesExternal profileJing is the protagonist of the series. A dashing young thief in a flowing orange trenchcoat, his exceptional skills and dedication are seemingly contradicted by his laid-back manner. He approaches life with a disarming, confident cheerfulness, selecting his targets seemingly on a whim. Because he is such a legendary figure, many people are surprised when they meet him in person, as he is rather small and unassuming at first glance. His skills as a thief, however, are without equal. He travels the world with his best friend, Kir, a talking albatross with whom he can combine to unleash the deadly Kir Royale attack, which is a green ball of energy shot out of Kir's mouth.
Kir10 fan favoritesExternal profileKir is Jing's sidekick, a feisty talking albatross (Crow in the manga) with a big mouth(Really annoying). Despite being a bird, he is constantly chasing human women, and usually hits on each episode's Jing Girl at every opportunity. Nonetheless, he is always rejected (curiously, the rejection is always due to his mannerisms and personality, and not the fact that he is a bird.) Kir is a bit greedier than Jing and often wonders why the latter doesn't go after targets with more monetary value. Nonetheless, he is a steadfast friend and invaluable partner to Jing.
