Get ready for a blast from the past! A brand-new illustration of Arina Tanemura's iconic series, "Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne," is set to grace the special edition cover of the women's fashion magazine, anan (Issue 2471)! This epic collaboration celebrates the dream team-up between two legendary magazines, Ribon and anan, and hits shelves on November 12, 2025.
The issue's theme, "Treasured Gifts of 2025," has sent fans into a frenzy. Many are expressing their disbelief and excitement that a series from their youth is making such a grand comeback on a magazine cover in the Reiwa era!
For anyone who grew up in the late 90s and early 2000s, "Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne" is likely a familiar name. Though the manga ran for only seven volumes from 1998, Arina Tanemura's stunning artwork and compelling storytelling captivated a massive fanbase. The subsequent anime adaptation was also a huge hit.
The shojo manga magazine Ribon is celebrating its 70th anniversary, while the long-standing leader in women's fashion, anan, marks its 55th year. To commemorate these special milestones, the two powerhouses are breaking new ground with an unprecedented cross-publisher collaboration: the "anan × Ribon" special commemorative issue.
Inspired by the theme of "gifts," the issue features a brand-new cover illustration by Arina Tanemura, a representative mangaka from Ribon's golden age. And yes, it's the dynamic duo themselves, protagonists Maron Kusakabe (Jeanne) and Chiaki Nagoya, gracing the cover!
This time, Jeanne and Sinbad appear together on the cover, locked in a princess carry and sharing a joyful smile, perfectly embodying the "gift" theme. Red ribbons swirl around them like angels, symbolizing the connection between anan's "Gift Project" and Ribon's generational image.
The limited special edition also comes with an "anan Original Boyfriend Card Set," featuring 16 of Ribon's most heart-throb-inducing male characters from across the eras! Fan favorites like Seishiro Kikumasamune from "Yukan Club," Akito Hayama from "Kodomo no Omocha," Chiaki Nagoya from "Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne," and Kai Miura from "Honey Lemon Soda" are all included.
Each card boasts exquisite character art and an "anan" logo cover-style design, with character profiles and mini-bios printed on the back. Fans can cut them out to carry in their wallets or phone cases, or keep the complete set as a cherished collectible.
Beyond the cover and bonus items, this issue also includes a historical timeline of Ribon's 70 years, a special message handwritten by Arina Tanemura herself, and a behind-the-scenes interview with the Ribon editorial team. It's a perfect way to relive those heartwarming moments spent with Ribon and dive into the creative stories behind classic shojo manga.
Since the cover reveal, netizens have flooded social media with comments like, "This collaboration is a dream come true!" "Pre-ordered the moment the cover dropped!" and "I'm literally crying seeing Jeanne and Sinbad in Reiwa..." Arina Tanemura herself shared the cover on X, sparking an outpouring of emotional responses from fans.
This cover has undoubtedly left countless fans absolutely thrilled. After all, seeing "Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne" on a magazine cover is a truly rare and special treat. If you're a manga enthusiast or a long-time Ribon reader, you might want to grab a copy for your collection!
