First English volume of New Lupin III (Manga) (known as Lupin III: World's Most Wanted in US) published by Tokyopop on September 7, 2004.

Synopsis

Monkey Punch's classic super-spy, Lupin III, returns in an all-new series of action, adventure and intrigue. When the old gang gets invited to a soiree on a remote island, the reunion turns out to be anything but happy, and the situation downright explosive.

Our Master Thief invades the HQ of his latest opponent, only to find that the reclusive 'he' is actually a 'she' with a secret weapon that leaves Lupin rock-hard.

A big diamond, a bitter old man and a bevy of lovely ladies add up to nothing but danger for the devil-may-care Lupin ... and that's just how he likes it.

Lupin takes on his most dangerous mission yet -- he must break into a high security prison and steal a devious device designed to drop him right back into the dungeon, resulting in the most destructive denouement to date.

When Lupin and his nefarious crew train a beautiful young woman in the ways of self-defense, only to use the inside info against her, things get just a little too hairy ... or should we say hair-less?

Trivia

Former cover of Lupin III: World's Most Wanted

• Originally the cover resembled the style from the previous manga however it was changed into a newspaper style with a sketch of Lupin's mugshot being featured. It is unknown whether there were two different print runs with different covers or all copies had the newspaper style.
• In the UK, this was originally going to be under New Lupin like Japan and Italy however instead it used "Lupin III: Most Wanted" since it used World's Most Wanted for the original series by mistake for the volumes that were imported. This was partly sorted by Volume 3 and completely sorted by Volume 6 where it kept the same name as the US. Apart from this catalog name, the comics are identical since they were imported from the US.
