Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Jun Sakurada is a boy with a trauma in his past and a strange hobby: He collects supposedly cursed items in the hope that one of them will actually turn out to be cursed. One day, he receives a letter which simply says, "Will you wind? Yes / No". Responding in the affirmative, he sticks the letter in his desk drawer and thinks nothing more of it until an ornate case arrives with a beautiful clockwork doll inside. True to his word, Jun does wind, which causes the doll to become animated.Shinku, the doll, immediately sets about correcting Jun's mannerisms, trying to convert him into her servant by default — an attempt cut short by the appearance of a stuffed clown with a pair of menacing-looking knives. Jun, fearing for his life, agrees to become Shinku's master (her supply of power so that she can fight), and is drawn from there into the strange world of the Rozen Maiden dolls and the Alice Game.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })One of Peach-Pit's most famous manga, the series has seen several publications. The manga originally ran in Monthly Comic Blitz from 2002 to 2007, but a second manga series was published in Weekly Young Jump in 2008 under the name Rozen Maiden note written in katakana this time instead of using the Latin alphabet. It begins as a For Want of a Nail story starring a much older Jun Sakurada, which follows what would have happened if Jun had responded "do not wind" to the initial letter, and crosses over with the original universe. After a few volumes, the older Jun's story finishes, and the two universes separate again, with the story shifting back to the original universe, and the plot resuming where the original manga ended, making the 2008 manga, despite what it initially looked like, an actual continuation instead of an Alternate Universe spin-off. This time period also introduced several manga that ran through 2012-14, Rozen Maiden: Dolls Talk, in Ribon and Maite wa Ikenai Rozen Maiden in Miracle Jump. A collector's edition of the manga was announced in April of 2022 that collects the original and continuation manga, finally bringing the two serializations together under the same name of Rozen Maidennote rendered in katakana like the continuation manga and subsequent Rozen Maiden media since.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })A more faithful anime adaption started airing in the Summer 2013 Anime season, adapting the first arc of the 2008 manga, with Studio DEEN providing the animation instead of Studio NOMAD. This anime was subtitled Zurückspulen for overseas release note in the original Japanese market the anime is usually referred to as Rozen Maiden (2013) as the original anime is also just Rozen Maiden.In December 2015, it was announced that a new manga series would start being published in Ultra Jump starting early 2016, named Rozen Maiden 0. This manga takes place in the Taisho era of Imperial Japan and covers the mystery of the Zeroth Doll. It concluded in March 2019 with a total of 4 volumes.This page covers the original manga, the 2008 Stealth Sequel, and other related works in the same canon, including Studio DEEN's anime.

"Well Done, Son" Guy | |
| Rozen Maiden (Manga) / int_1779f10e | comment |
"Well Done, Son" Guy: Basically the motivation for every doll except Suiseiseki, who loves her sisters more than her father. Eventually, Shinku comes to feel the same way as Suiseiseki and Souseiseki also comes to share the sentiment later on. | |

Sibling Rivalry | |
| Rozen Maiden (Manga) / int_19209d54 | comment |
Sibling Rivalry: All the dolls are sisters and they fight against each other, trying to take the life source of the other. Subverted with Suiseiseki who loves her sister so much she refuse to fight them, unless to protect her most beloved twin sister. Played for drama when they are fighting to save their masters, yet Suigintou and Kanaria are to stubborn to even stay with Shinku, Suiseiseki and Souseiseki and fight together against Kirakishou. | |

| Rozen Maiden (Manga) / int_26d1f65f | comment |
Verbal Tic: Every last one of the Maidens, though it's more prevelant in the original Japanese then the dubbed version. The "desu!" tic of Suiseiseki is totally nonpresent in the dubbed anime, for example, while the characters trying to figure out what Hinaichigo's "unyuu" actually is forms the plot point of an early episode. | |

| Rozen Maiden (Manga) / int_28a5213a | comment |
Small Name, Big Ego: Kanaria constantly refers to herself as the smartest of all the Rozen Maidens...a shame none of her plans ever actually work. Perhaps because she's only slightly more mature than Hinaichigo. | |

Defrosting Ice Queen: Suigintou after meeting Megu. Megu's interactions with Suigintou open her up in ways previously unseen. It's because of her that she got more understanding towards other characters as the manga went on. Hana in 0. She starts off closed off to others, especially to her own family, and it isn't until she meets and interacts with Souseiseki that she begins to wear down and open up to others. | |

Parental Abandonment - Jun and Nori's parents are always away. Both of Megu's parents. Her mom has been mentioned as having left the family for good because she could not handle the stress of having a terminally ill daughter. Her father occasionally visits, but he too cannot cope with Megu's illness. Rozen. He does show up towards the end of the manga and expresses his regret for abandoning his creations. | |

Bury Your Gays | |
| Rozen Maiden (Manga) / int_2a8a7ea6 | comment |
Bury Your Gays: Suigintou and Megu's interactions with each other are very heavily coded as romantic to the point that during the forming of their contract they recite wedding vows to each other as Suigintou puts her ring on Megu's hand. They both end up dying in the final chapters of the manga, during which they confirm their romantic feelings for each other, though Suigintou is later revived. | |

Sibling Team | |
| Rozen Maiden (Manga) / int_42c8293a | comment |
Sibling Team: Between the dolls at times, but notably: Suigintou and Shinku put aside their rivalry and become one during the fight with Kirakishou at the play and then again late into the manga when they enter Kirakishou's world. After Suiseiseki arrives to the Sakurada household, she and Shinku usually plot together on what they'll do next regarding the Alice Game, forming a team that lasts for most the rest of the manga. An interesting variation occurs in Rozen Maiden 0 where the two sets of siblings in the Sui-Sou Detective Agency form sibling teams during team split ups (Suiseiseki and Souseiseki forming one team and Kiku and Hana forming the other). | |

Red Pill, Blue Pill: The plot kicks off by asking Jun whether or not he wants to wind Shinku up. In the reboot manga, he took the proverbial "blue pill." The reboot turns out to be an Alternate Timeline, and the main timeline characters try to get support from the alternate Jun, thus dragging the war into his reality. | |

Polar Opposite Twins: The -seiseki twins; their heterochromia are even on opposite sides.

Cats Are Mean: Shinku does not like cats and thinks they're the enemy of all Rozen Maidens, supposedly because one nearly swallowed the key needed to wind her. Also subverted, when Hinaichigo slips out of the house to try mailing a letter. She falls onto a very large, scary-looking cat ... who leads her to the mailbox (was he somehow able to understand what she wanted?) and actually lets her ride him at one point. | |

You Kill It, You Bought It: The sole mechanism of the Alice Game: The winner takes the loser's Rosa Mystica and gains her powers, while the loser becomes a normal doll. Subverted when Souseiseki's Roza Mystica starts hurting Suigintou, who stole it (Suiseiseki was the one meant to take her twin's Rosa Mystica) but Hinaichigo's accepts Shinku smoothly. After some time of meditation, Suigintou understands that the real way to win the Alice Game is for the losing doll actually willingly giving her Rosa Mystica, something that just can be done via trust and creating a bond. | |

Replacement Goldfish | |
| Rozen Maiden (Manga) / int_643618e5 | comment |
Replacement Goldfish: all of the dolls are this to Rozen after he lost his daughter due to an illness. He spent a long time mastering alchemy and dollmaking in order to bring her back, but ultimately lost track of his original goal and ended up trying to create the perfect girl instead. Tefuko is revealed to be one in Rozen Maiden 0. Her mother had a human daughter also named "Tefuko" who died. | |

Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Jun was a sulking, thankless pile of rather childish fears and grievances, not whining only because he was too self-absorbed for it. Soon, he shocks the dolls by demonstrating talents worthy of a potential apprentice to Rozen, and powers three fighting Rozen Maiden at once without looking pale and swooning, while in all three parts of the anime we see some other masters - one of whom was obviously more healthy - drained to within a hair's breadth of death by supporting only one. | |

Shout-Out: To Alice in Wonderland. One chapter of the 2008 manga has a garden of talking, giant roses. Some are quite rude, other are more decent, all love to gossip. Next chapter, Shinku and Kanaria found a crockett field with the Queen of Hearts shouting "Who ate my tarts!?" | |

| Rozen Maiden (Manga) / int_cca855ea | comment |
Reflective Teleportation: Any reflective surfaces - mirrors, glass windows, water puddles - can be used as portal gates to the N-Field, a Dream Land that reflects the subconscious minds of people and their desires and sorrows. The main cast use these surfaces to travel to and from the N-Field in order to resolve conflicts related to the Alice Game. | |

Cat Fight | |
| Rozen Maiden (Manga) / int_dceccabf | comment |
Cat Fight: Since their supernatural fights leave behind a mess of rose petals and black feathers, Unwind!Jun forbids Shinku and Suigintou from fighting like that. So they rely on badmouthing, slaps and pulling each other's hair. | |

PinocchioSyndrome | |
| Rozen Maiden (Manga) / int_de1cb800 | comment |
Pinocchio Syndrome: The dolls want to become "Alice", the perfect girl - however, they seem to want to do it more to please Rozen than for the sake of being human. Suiseiseki in particular seems to suffer the worst from this. She makes a comment at one point over the concept of mortality and wanting to be a human rather than a doll concerning her time left to exist. She later becomes smitten over the idea of going to school and has an Imagine Spot involving her as a human. | |

Shoot the Medic First | |
| Rozen Maiden (Manga) / int_df858e81 | comment |
Shoot the Medic First: A variation of this occurs in regards to the masters. While not medics in the strictest sense, they are a major source of the dolls' power in-universe, explained in-universe that the doll and the master share a soul as long as the contract is valid. If the master dies, so does the doll, as exemplified by Souseiseki attacking her master in the manga. | |

| Rozen Maiden (Manga) / int_e3b0cd87 | comment |
Morality Pet: Megu for Suigintou. First, her master's problem is obviously similar to her own, second, it's someone she can love without any conflict with "Father"s request, which may be a part of the trouble. | |

Beethoven Was an Alien Spy | |
| Rozen Maiden (Manga) / int_ec7da60a | comment |
Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: Several lightnovels introduce a few historical figures as earlier masters of several of the dolls. In Die Zwillinge, a man named Rudolph (more accurately, Holy Roman Emperor Rudolph II) was one of Souseiseki's former masters. He was more interested with the dolls than his empire and loved doing anything that wasn't his duties as emperor. Their contract would unfortunately be cut short after his brother staged a coup for the throne and in his grief, the bond between him and Souseiseki shattered. In Rot-Schwarz, Alice Liddell is Shinku's master. It's also revealed that Mary Shelley was one of Suigintou's former masters. The two were close until Shelley came up with the idea for her novel, Frankenstein. Shelley explained that she felt a connection between the relationship between her and her father, and between Suigintou and Rozen. Suigintou holds her relationship to Rozen as sacred and was offended by Shelley comparing the two and, at least to her, basing Frankenstein and his creature off of them. During this conflict, Suigintou would break the contract between them. | |

Astro Clone | |
| Rozen Maiden (Manga) / int_f8f7c403 | comment |
Astro Clone: The Rozen Maiden dolls and their relationship towards their creator, Rozen, greatly resembles this. Like Tenma, Rozen lost a child, his daughter Alice, and set about trying to bring her back to life using a doll body. He ultimately lost track of his original goal and when each doll failed to live up to his expectations (of being the perfect girl) he abandoned them. Rozen sees them all as his daughters as do they see him as their father and each other as sisters. | |

Love Makes You Crazy | |
| Rozen Maiden (Manga) / int_f96f8980 | comment |
Love Makes You Crazy / Love Makes You Evil: All crazy and evil characters are motivated by love! Averted with Suiseiseki, who loves her sisters too much to be motivated by her father's love alone. Played straight with Suigintou and Kirakishou however. | |
