i honestly didn’t think i would love lupin’s character so much but god knows i do. he is so well written, like he has so much charisma but he is also multilayered. obviously with this being a short story collection, i didn’t love all them, some stuck with me more than others but i particularly loved the first and last one, as well as the one titled la perle noire. i really enjoyed discovering the original material for the miyazaki animated film.

Absolutely loved it! I already loved the Lupin series on Netflix and this is just a bigger and better version of it! Incredible! I will be reading every single book from the series, thank you.

Maybe it's the translation but I found the chuffed self importance more than a little too much. Love a good heist book or film and I recognise that a lot of media I've loved was likely borrowing heavily but I don't have the ability to view it without that context. Almost finished and set aside.
