After an eight-year absence, the gentleman thief Kaitou Kid suddenly reappears to steal jewels all over Tokyo! Meanwhile, high school student Kaito Kuroba discovers a secret room inside his house and soon learns an uncomfortable truth: his father was the original Kaitou Kid. After learning that his father had been murdered for his nighttime activities, Kaito carries on as the new Kaitou Kid in hopes that his father's killers will one day reappear. But until then, he'll have to contend with a visiting princess and her trigger-happy bodyguard, a robot double of himself, surviving a date with Aoko while keeping his identity a secret, a pirate and his treasure buried under the sea, and a witch obsessed with forcing every boy to love her.

Kaito's adventures continue in Ekoda City and beyond, pitting him against trickier foes and situations than ever before. Lovesick witches, vanished prime ministers, hordes of nanobots, and haunted schools may prove too much for any other teenage magician-cum-thief, but not for the one... the only... Kaitou Kid!

Two big developments rock Kaito's world in quick succession. First, the teenage detective Saguru Hakuba returns from an extended stay in London, determined to cage Kaitou Kid once and for all - and with his genius IQ and near-unlimited resources, he just might! But Kaito is also closer to his goal than ever before, as his father's killers have finally stepped back into the light - with the intent of sending the second Kaitou Kid to the grave as well!

With his goal now clear, Kaitou Kid begins to go after big jewels of every kind, from the brooch of a jaded English magician to a ring that once supposedly belonged to Marie Antoinette. But his opponents will be many, not just the mysterious criminal syndicate that killed his father, but also the Parisian cat burglar Chat Noir, the criminal mastermind Nightmare, and a certain other teenage detective who's never let a single crook slip through his fingers.

Alternate covers
In July 2017, to celebrate the completion of 5 volumes, alternate covers in the style of the Detective Conan covers were released. Titled Great Phantom Thief Kid (大怪盗キッド Dai Kaitō Kiddo), they were offered with all purchases of Magic Kaito volumes.[13] The alternate covers also showed a "keyhole character" and a "featured detective". The numbers are intentionally written out of order to spell out 1-4-1-2 (Kid's alternate name), with the last cover being the Kaitou Kid logo. The "Conan side images" were switched with Kaitou Kid, and the keyholes were Ginzo Nakamori (volume 1), Conan Edogawa (other volume 1), Toichi Kuroba (volume 2), Jirokichi Suzuki (volume 4) and Saguru Hakuba (Kid logo volume).
