{{nihongo|'''''Magic Kaito'''''|まじっく快斗|MAJIKKU Kaito}} is a [[Glossary|shōnen]] manga series by [[Gosho Aoyama]], about a thief named [[Kaitou Kid]]. Aoyama stopped work on the manga after three volumes due to the fact that he started ''[[Detective Conan]]'', which was an instant hit. Chapters of the Magic Kaito manga have been released in [[Magazines#Weekly Shōnen Sunday|Shōnen Sunday]] since then, and have only recently been collected into a fourth volume in February 2007.

==Plot==

[[Kaito Kuroba]], a normal teenage high school student, stumbles across the secret of his father's death: his father was not only a magician, but the famous phantom thief [[Kaitou Kid]], and was killed by an organization for reasons unknown. Taking up his father's mantle in an attempt to bait the killers, Kaito performs a number of thefts and eventually learns that his father died for interfering in the organization's quest to find the Pandora Gem. Pandora is said to glow in the light of the moon, and beneath the moon and a certain comet, will shed a tear granting immortality to whomever drinks it. Kaito then decides to search for Pandora as Kaitou Kid and destroy it, in order to prevent the organization from obtaining their goals.
