Synopses:
The Woman Called Fujiko Mine!

“She’s a thief. A killer. A saint and a scandal. She’s whatever you need her to be to get the job done. She’s walking seduction, with an insatiable itch for the priceless and a fetish for mischief. She takes your breath away to get what she wants. She takes everything else just because she can. It’s all in a night’s work for the woman called Fujiko Mine. She’s the slinky, sultry thread that holds Lupin III’s crew together — and this is the heist that started it all.”

Lupin the Third Part Five

“A legendary thief deserves a legendary heist, and Lupin has set his sights on his biggest bounty yet — but when a game called “Arrest Lupin III” goes viral on social media, things get a whole lot harder for the world’s most wanted thief!”
