Daisuke Niwa's 14th birthday isn't going according to plan: rejected by the girl he has a crush on, and receiving no sympathy from his mother, Daisuke suddenly feels a weird transformation coming on... but this isn't puberty, it's something in his DNA! Before Daisuke knows it, he's transformed into Dark Mousy, the legendary phantom thief! 

With the only way to break the curse being to get his crush to return his affection, and his classmate, Satoshi Hiwatari turning out to be a young prodigal detective, Daisuke's going to need more than angelic powers: he's going to need a miracle!

This week, Mat is joined once again by Tsutsudae of Undisputed Anime to discuss Yukiru Sugisaki's Shojo masterpiece, DN Angel, in it's shiny (and we mean SHINY) New Edition from Yen Press!

We discuss how the series has held up during it's many hiatuses, talk  phantom thieves in anime / manga at large, before ruminating a little on how great it is that fans of this series from 1997 will finally get a chance to read it's ending almost 30 years later!
