paragraph:
The name's Kuroba Kaito! I'm a 2nd year high school student, and I'm the best magician you'll ever meet!
My dad, whose name was Touichi, passed away 8 years ago. He really was the greatest magician ever. But he also happened to be the daring thief of justice who always stirred up attention worldwide--The Kaitou Kid!
After learning his secret, I thought it seemed like fun, so now I've taken over the job! Aoko, a childhood friend of mine, has a dad who's a police inspector, and he's all fired up again trying to catch the mysterious Kid.
...but I'm not giving this up until I find the truth behind Dad's murder. Sorry, pops...!

-K-KAITOU KID!! Where are you going!?

-fufufu...Inspector Nakamori...
-Sorry, but playtime's over.

-Wh-!!
-WHAT!!

007
-HOLD IT!!

-Oh?

-WOAH!

008
-D-damnit! He's been in hiding for almost 3 months now...

-Where did he go? Where...
newspaper headline: KID GOES MISSING
grey box: Retirement?
vert left: Or moved overseas??

-WHERE IS HE HIDING?!!!
-Uh, maybe he caught a cold?

-YEAH RIGHT, MORON!!

009
-AAA-CHOO!!

-...oh, for cryin' out loud! Catching a cold when my schedule's already packed with finals...
-This sucks...

-Guess I'll have to shelf the costume for a while...
-That's weird...

-Huh?
-I thought morons were impervious to colds...

010
-HEY! DON'T TOUCH ME!
-What the heck?! Aoko was just trying to be nice!

-Yeah, really funny.
-Boy, are you in a bad mood today...
-Which reminds me, Dad's been really irritated lately, too, since Kaitou Kid hasn't shown up.(above dad's head is "irritated", could also be writen as "grr")
-You two are stressing me out!

-But I am curious...just where is that sneaky thief hiding, anyways?
-Maybe he's just sick of dealing with your doofus-for-a-cop Dad?

-Oh, I know!!

-Maybe Kid passed away!!

-Yeah, that's gotta be it!
-Brilliant, Sherlock.

011
-L-ladies and gentlemen! M-may I have your attention, please!!
-The Kaitou Kid has just made his next public announcement!!

-"At 6:54PM on Christmas Eve, tonight, I'll be taking the giant star ornament on top of the Christmas Tree at the Tofu Department Store! Yours Truly, Kid!!"
(supposed to sound like tofu, the kanji there are eastern wind. yep, completely unimportant)

-That star is inlaid with diamonds and emeralds, having a market value of several billion yen!!
-fufufu!

-Get to the patrol cars!!
-We're heading to the Tofu Department store!

012
-What's all this ruckus?
-Something must've happened...

-A crime?
-We'd better go home right away

sign: owner's office
-Hohoho! Just as I thought! Tons of people have gathered here!

013
-With this many people, we'll double...no, quadruple our sales!!
-It was worth faking that announcement!!
-B-but boss, if the Kid doesn't actually show up, our reputation will be...

-The Kaitou Kid ALWAYS comes after his target...
-S-so you mean he's coming!?

-What, you still don't get it?
-Huh?

-YOU'RE going to be the Kid!
-EEEEEEH!? ME!?

-Don't worry, I'll provide an escape route for you!
-B-but, I-I don't know...

-If you steal the giant star, we can net the money I've insured it for AND keep the star!
-Best of all, the Kid will take the blame for the whole thing!

014
-Succeed, and the vice-president's chair is yours!
-v-vice president!?
-Not a bad deal, wouldn't you say?

-T-thank you, boss! Leave it to me!

top bold: Aoko's house
-What, still nothing?
-Hurry it up, would you?
-Stop it! You're so impatient!

-L..like this?

-M...more to the right...

-AAAH!! That's left, you idiot!
-Kaito, you're terrible at this!

015
-We've gotta finish before everyone arrives!
-Loose some weight, would ya?

-...geez, we aren't kids anymore...Why do you insist on a Christmas party every year?
sfx bub - pop pop
-I can do whatever I like!

-Lala la~
-Party animal.
sfx bub - pachi
-We're coming to you live from just outside the Tofu Department store.

-Hmm?
-Only 2 hours left!

-Stop slacking and help me out!
-Yes, ma'am.
-Will he really show?!

016
-Aha, you've got the fork and spoon backwards!
-Who made these stupid rules, anyways?
-And now, a quick interview with Inspector Nakamori who is in charge of tonight's security.

-Inspector, it looks like Kid's finally made his move!
-Heh heh heh

-When I get my hands on you, Kid, you're dog chow!
-The inspector sure is enthusiastic about his job...

-Would you look at this crowd?! You could say it's Kid-fever!
-He could be the most infamous phantom thief in the century!!

017
-Coming~

-Hey, everybody!
-G'evening!
-Hey, did'ja hear? Kid's supposed to show up tonight!

-It's just like Kid to show up on Christmas Eve!
-Oh, so that's what those cop cars were all about...

-We'll get to see your dad's frustrated face again!
-Hey!!

-Flusssh
-What's up?
-NOTHING!

-The crowd has already started cheering for the Kaitou Kid!

018
-MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

-ririring
-My goodness, who'd call at a time like this?

-Oh, dad...
-uhuh
-uhuh
-Okay...

-Aw, man...I was hoping dad would sing us a song or two...
-Hmm?

-He said he'd be late because Kid showed up again.
-That's great news!

019
-WHAAAAAT!?

-...my heart just stopped.
-Wait, I'm here...so what's going on?

-I never sent out a letter...

-We're here at the Tofu Department store,
-and these tees, sweatshirts, and other Kid-wear are selling like hotcakes!!

-Why, look! The very owner of the Tofu Department store himself has come to pay us a visit!
-What are your thoughts on the Kid's announcement for tonight?
-Aha, I was really surprised!
-That's odd...if he only received the public notice today,
-then how could they have so many Kid-goods lined up?

020
-Still, no one could have predicted this sales opportunity, huh?
-You said it! We certainly owe Kid big time!

-Even the actions of a thief like him can sometimes be beneficial to others!

-We look forward to your patronage, Kaitou Kid!
-I thought the Kid acts like a kid, but look at this guy!!

-Right, Kaito...

-Kaito?

021
-Can you hear how loud it is out here?!
-But still, no sign of the Kid!

-What is that fool doing?! It's already past the promised time!

-Ooh!!

-It's the Kid!!
-The Kaitou Kid has finally arrived!!

022
sfx - gasha

sfx - huff huff
-What are you doing?! Get moving!

-B-boss...I'm not so good with heights...
-VP, remember!? I'll make you VP!!

-The Giant Star is mine!!
-Later, guys!

-Huh?!

023
-Give it up, Kaitou Kid!!
-UWAH!!

-Cuff him!!
-Geh!!
-AAAA!! The Giant star!

-Ho

-B-boss!!
-N-nonsense! I don't know who you are!

024
-How could you do this to me!?
sfx - Gachi
-You just don't know when to give up, do you?

-Nehehe

-I've apprehended the Kaitou Kid!!
-Eh!?!
-No way!!!
-Dude, that was lame.

-Thanks for coming, ladies and gentlemen! Come back to shop with us again!!

025
-Wha--!!

-The Ka-
-The Ka--!!!

026
-THE KAITOU KID?!!

-Merry Christmas,
-Inspector Nakamori!

027
-W-which one's real!?

-T-this is impossible!
-What are you talking about? I showed up as promised, Boss.
-Besides...

-Tonight is Christmas Eve,
-Nothing strange about a miracle or two!

028
-THAT's the kind of smart-alec comment I recognize!!
-GET HIM!!

-Oh, but before you do,
-Allow me to give you a present...

029
-M-M-M-MY DEPARTMENT STORE!!

-That about does it...
-W-WAIT, KID! You plan on running from me again?!

-Kid!!

-Hmph.

-I'd never run or hide from you,
-Inspector Nakamori!

030
-'Till next time!
-Kid...

-Did ya hear that? "Next time"!!
-The next time we meet, I'll beat the living daylights outta him!
-You seem a bit too happy, Inspector...

-Oh, Dad! Welcome home!
-Aoko, I'm starving!
-K-kaito?! Where the heck did you go?!

-The food's already gone!
-You're kidding!!
