Haruka Minazuki and Aoi Kannazuki, lifelong friends and classmates at St. Cherine Academy, are their school's most admired students, but they also work as Magical Girls, thwarting the nefarious organization Black Auction in their every move, as Red Angel and Blue Angel, respectively. When things go tough, the masked gentleman Misty Knight -- resident Chick Magnet Yuito Kisaragi -- appears to their aid.

Originally pachinko machine characters, the Twin Angels got a two-episode OVA in 2008. In summer 2011, they got a full Twelve-Episode Anime series, Kyunkyun Tokimeki Paradise!!, in which Haruka and Aoi earn a new ally in the form of the diminutive Kurumi Hazuki, the White Angel, and clashing head-on with the Twin Phantom -- transferees Tesla and Nine Violet.

Kaitou Tenshi Twin Angel has also spawned a set of four Web Comics, a Freeware Visual Novel (Maboroshi no Shoujo), an internet radio show, and a PlayStation Portable game, Toki to Sekai no Meikyuu, which adds two new Angels -- Tsukasa Hazuki (White Angel) and Aprille Mattia (Platinum Angel).

A series that loves its tropes and indulges in them shamelessly. Usually runs on the Rule of Fun, Rule of Cool and Rule of Cute.

Not to be confused - please! - with the H-anime Twin Angels.

Tropes used in Kaitou Tenshi Twin Angel include:

"We won't let you get away with your evil deeds!"
 "Love and justice always hit the mark!"
"We'll bring back everyone's smiles!"
"Kaitou Tenshi Twin Angel!"
