Viewing Notes

Based on the description I was hoping this was a live action adaptation of the anime MOUSE. Alas it is not. Instead this is a bubbly Robin Hood story with a master thief (Mitsuki Tanimura) stealing artifacts from museums only to return them to their original owners. Backstabbing between thieves occurs then karate whiz kid (Julia Nagano) gets involved to help save the day. Slight and often too cute for its own good but not a bad watch esp. to watch this young women kick ass.
