Synopsis

Reinya appears to be an ordinary girl working at a convenience store but she is in fact, the Phantom Thief Reinya. Together with her assistant Chūtarō in their secret hideout right below the local convenience store, Reinya hatches plans to steal various treasures made of gold. They face an incompetent trio of a perverted police inspector, a policewoman who is a natural airhead, and a detective totally infatuated with Reinya, all of them in a police station beside Reinya's convenience store.

Audience Consensus

The audience finds the show to be a lighthearted but ultimately uninspired comedic experience. While the short episodes and inclusion of a comical mouse character are positives, the repetitive jokes, weak plot, and illogical character behaviors lead to a disappointing viewing experience. The ecchi element is considered shallow and fails to enhance the show.

Strengths

  • Short episode duration can be appealing.
  • Mouse character adds comical value.

Weaknesses

  • Repetitive gags and lack of creativity.
  • Weak plot and illogical character actions.
  • Ecchi component is tame and doesn't add depth.
