  This is a French series constantly mentioned to be compared to Sherlock Holmes. On the contrary to Holmes, Lupin is on the other side of laws, which is tinted with some mystery regarding the identity and character of Arsene Lupin.

  Of course, Arsene Lupin is no regular burglar, but a Gentleman-burglar. He had his own principles (usually quite noble) of dealing with injustice matters. The ways he rectified those inequity were to issue a preannouncement that the target owner should surrender the object without any protest, or he would remove it at certain time and place. Eventually he became a hero from acting on those social injustices.

  One exciting moment is when Arsene Lupin met Sherlock Holmes. Of course, trying not to infringe the sacredness of Sherlock Holmes, there was no winner per se of their encounter, if it counted as one.
