Author Shin Akigi announced on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday that the Phantom Thief Red novel series will end in the 30th volume, which will ship in June. The writer also announced that the first volume reached its 50th printing on February 10.
Yen Press publishes the series in English and describes the story:
“In our family, it’s tradition to become a phantom thief upon turning thirteen.” When Asuka and Kei’s father speaks these words, their lives are forever changed. Turns out, their family is part of a worldwide network of righteous vigilantes—and now, it’s their turn to join the ranks!
Kadokawa has published the novels since February 2010 and the series has surpassed over 1.2 million print copies. Kadokawa shipped the 29th book on February 12. Yen Press shipped the 6th volume on July 15.
