The Rose of Versailles (Manga)	comment	The Rose of Versailles (Berusaiyu no Bara) is a historical drama manga by Riyoko Ikeda, which was originally serialized in the shoujo magazine Margaret from March 1972 to December 1973. Influenced by Ikeda's experiences as a member of the Japanese Communist Party, the manga depicts the French royal court at the palace of Versailles from the last years of the Ancien RÃ©gime to the dawn of The French Revolution. Its central character is Oscar FranÃ§ois de Jarjayes, a Parisian noblewoman who has been raised as a boy to provide her father with a "son" and heir. Oscar is made head of the Royal Guards of Versailles, and her first assignment is to protect and chaperon the new Crown Princess Marie-Antoinette.If you were wondering about the scope of anime, this series places the bar well above your initial guess. Incorporating many French historical figures and the very real political nuances of the period, this series can be read either as a political (leftist and/or rightist) screed or as a heart-rending love story.The manga has been adapted several times. It was first adapted to a 40-episode anime that aired from 1979 to 1980; originally directed by Tadao Nagahama for the first twelve episodes, Osamu Dezaki later stepped in to direct episode 19 and onwards after Nagahama passed away. There's also a Takarazuka Revue adaptation (which is quite popular on its own), and Lady Oscar, an obscure Live-Action Adaptation by French director Jacques Demy generally considered to be So Okay, It's Average. It is notable, however, in that it came out before the manga had ever been officially translated, resulting in famed translator Frederik Schodt having to scramble to make one for the production company. He did this by blazing through the manga and writing his translations right on the pages in pencil. In spite of the director's name, the film was never released in France.note Though the French website Nanarland, which chronicles So Bad, It's Good movies, has an article on it, concluding: "It's as if producer Luc Besson forced a well-known Japanese director like Takeshi Kitano to make a film about the Meiji era that ridicules both its director and Japanese history." The French dub of the anime kept that title.The manga is notable for being a major landmark for the shoujo demographic; at the time it was first published, most shoujo manga were simple stories aimed at elementary school-aged girls, but The Rose of Versailles proved that manga aimed at teenage girls and young women, with more complicated plots to draw them in, could also be successful. As a result, it was the first shoujo manga to achieve mainstream critical and commercial success. Elements of it can be seen in shows like Revolutionary Girl Utena and Le Chevalier d'Eon. In 2009, a live-action series called Haken no Oscar aired in Japan, which constantly references The Rose of Versailles.There is also a series of side stories which take place during the original manga's Black Knight arc; titled The Rose of Versailles Side Stories: The Great Detective Loulou, these focus on Oscar's precocious niece Loulou de la Laurencie, who often stumbles upon mysterious happenings around Versailles with the other main characters getting roped into solving them. These stories were published in Monthly Jam from 1984 to 1985.While the anime and manga saw a wide release in much of the world during the 1980s under the name of Lady Oscar, one notable exception was in English. The first two volumes were released in the early '80s as a teaching tool for Japanese to English, but aside from this release, the manga has never been released in English officially. Similarly, the anime went unlicensed in English for over 30 years before Right Stuf International finally picked it up in late 2012 for a subtitled-only release in Spring 2013. You can watch it legally here.In 2015, a Pachinko game based around Rose of Versailles was the source of creating new animations.In January 2020, Udon Entertainment began releasing the manga in English, having announced it in 2015, five years earlier, with the entire series released in five omnibus volumes by April 2021.On July 7, 2022 it was announced that a new animation project for the 50th anniversary of the Manga was underway.Not to be confused with the Japanese Power Metal band Versailles, or Bara Genre.

He absolutely loses it, forcefully kissing her and ripping her shirt; after realizing what he almost did, he tearfully confesses his love and walks away.

The Rose of Versailles (Manga) / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: The manga has many moments of slapstick humor, often with typical comedic manga expressions and symbols, and tends to use chibi drawings and starry eyes in some dramatic moments for added effect. Even late in the story, as the Revolution is brewing into more and more violence, there are still moments where characters will break into more comical expressions. The anime removes many of the manga's light-hearted, cartoony moments for a bleaker, yet more consistently dramatic tone, which is reflected with the anime's more realistic art direction.

While it may be just coincidence, it sounds a lot like Oscar is suffering from the syndrome of subjective doubles.

The Rose of Versailles (Manga) / int_177a6464	comment	Genre Shift: Subtly done, and since the anime had two directors (Tadao Nagahama directed the first eighteen episodes, while Osamu Dezaki directed all the episodes after that), the change was when it started; it was a historical type of account about Oscar enduring the endeavors of the court of Versailles and about Marie Antoinette's marriage and trials. Starting around the twentieth episode, the story became more politically charged and introspective and the focus shifted from the court at Versailles to the people of Paris, the French military and, eventually, Oscar and AndrÃ© themselves.

There are characters wearing flared pants, women wearing dresses that show their bare backs, and dresses with puffed sleeves and frilled collars that are more inspired by the Victorian Era. Heck, even Oscar's uniforms are more based on military uniforms that wouldn't appear until a century later.

Rosalie was abandoned as a baby by her 14-year-old mother and raised by a peasant along with another girl, Jeanne; said peasant, Nicole, dies at the beginning of the story when run over by the carriage of Madame de Polignac... Rosalie's true mother. Bernard's mother dies when he is 5. Robespierre's mother dies when he is young. Averted- and how- by Oscar being outlived by both her parents. Downplayed by Alain's mother being alive until he is in his mid-20s.

Oscar also bumps into Napoleon Bonaparte; though he only makes one appearance, he later becomes a much more prominent character in the sequel manga, Eikou no Napoleon.

The Rose of Versailles (Manga) / int_31237f3e	type	Custom Uniform
The Rose of Versailles (Manga) / int_31237f3e	comment	Custom Uniform: Quite widespread, as usual for the period: During The Rose of Versailles, the various officers of the French army all wear different clothes, with Oscar having five outfits during her career (her initial white uniform as a lieutenant of the Gardes du Corps, a red one after being promoted to colonel, a white dress uniform, a blue one after transferring to the French Guards, and another dress uniform for a party), the only constant being a cross necklace on the service uniforms, her sword and the blue one being the only one that even somewhat resembles the uniform of her soldiers... In that they wore blue. Changing uniform with the rank seems a common practice, as lieutenant Girodelle of the Gardes du Corps gets a new uniform after being promoted to colonel. Oscar's French Guards dress uniform is actually a plot point: her father, having realized the French Revolution was coming, was trying to get her married so she wouldn't get involved in the fighting and threw a party so she could choose a fiancee, and she commission an outfit for it... And it being revealed as a dress uniform signaled her complete refusal of leaving the military and marrying. The various regiments all have different uniforms too, being in different colors and often with completely different styles, and of course their officers wearing something different. On the latter the French Guards are the closest to a standardized uniform, in that their officers all wear the same blue of the troops. The trope is also present in the sequel Eikou no Napoleon - Eroica, though in a different manner due the changed times: As it starts in the latter part of The French Revolution, the trope is initially Averted for the French, as the Republic standardized the uniforms... Or at least tried, as the Army of Italy, due its poor supply situation, has uniforms with various customizations up until Napoleon leads them to Milan and uses the money got from the Sardinian surrender to order new ones for his men. As Napoleon's rise to Emperor starts, however, the trope starts to reappear, with first regiments getting differently colored uniforms and later officers adding their own touches, culminating with the Empire when the officers wear customized uniforms that at least still resembles those of their troops... And Napoleon constantly wearing the basic uniform of an artillery officer. Played straight with non-French troops, where no two regiments have the same uniform and no two officers wear the same clothes.

The Rose of Versailles (Manga) / int_4508b16b	comment	The Guards Must Be Crazy: Surveillance at Versailles is so lax that, as Jeanne put it, you only needed a sword and a hat to reach the queen. Truth in Television: Not only were Versailles' guards that lazy in Real Life, but the historical Jeanne Valois actually did it to try and become a friend of Marie Antoinette, who not only had more motivated guards following her but knew perfectly who Jeanne was and ignored her. Hilariously subverted by Oscar's company in the French Guards, who are very good at their job even without Oscar trying to catch lazy guards (and in fact take offense when she shows up by surprise) and caught Fersen trying to sneak out of Versailles after a night meeting with Marie Antoinette. Had Oscar not showed up right as they were arresting him, Fersen would have been thrown in jail without much fanfare. Then Double Subverted in the same scene when Oscar tells Fersen which gate was guarded by the laziest guards that night.

The Rose of Versailles (Manga) / int_6056f853	comment	Homoerotic Subtext: When Fersen meets Oscar, he initially thinks she is a man. Rosalie is also flat-out in love with Oscar for a good portion of the series and apparently retains some feelings for her into the Distant Finale after having married Bernard. In the manga, Oscar also appears to return Rosalie's feelings, to an extent. On the other hand, Oscar gets pretty mad about it when Jeanne publicly accuses her of being a lesbian. (Her reaction in the manga is even stronger than in the anime.) Of course, given the historical setting, she likely wouldn't want such a reputation, even if it was true. That, and Jeanne was accusing Oscar of being the lesbian lover of a married woman — not so much of being attracted to women in theory. In chapter 4, three ladies at the ball fangirl over Oscar who they clearly know is a woman. They call her dashing, wish that she would come over and talk to them, and then all subtlety is lost when one says that she wishes Oscar were a boy so that they could get married.

They are not the only foreign regiments in the army of the Ancien RÃ©gime, but they are the ones featured. Among them the Royal Suedois and Gardes Suisses are the most important, due to Fersen being the commander of Royal Suedois and the Gardes Suisses being an Household regiment and the ones who kill Oscar. Also, the Garde du Corps (Oscar's initial regiment) was created around the Gardes Ã‰cossaise, a unit of Scots soldiers entrusted with the safety of the King. While Scots had long stopped serving in the Garde du Corps, the first company (Oscar's command as a captain) was still known as Compagnie Ã‰cossaise due being the original unit around which the Garde du Corps was formed.

Even more amazing? The actual French dub probably has the perkiest song of them all.

The Rose of Versailles (Manga) / int_85cefc44	comment	Sympathetic Adulterer: As expected by French nobles at the time: they were all in marriages arranged out of convenience, so as long as they had a heir and a spare of unquestioned descendance nobody cared how many lovers they had, with the Duchess of Polignac flat-out admitting one of her lovers is her brother in law (and her husband knows). In fact Oscar's parents and Louis XVI are seen as weird for not having lovers, and part of the damage to Marie Antoinette's reputation is that the people don't believe she kept things platonic with Fersen even after having the required heir and spare.

The Rose of Versailles (Manga) / int_8d0785d5	type	Didn't Think This Through
The Rose of Versailles (Manga) / int_8d0785d5	comment	Didn't Think This Through: A lot of characters end victim of this due to arrogance. Madame Du Barry arguably takes the cake on this. Namely, engaging Marie Antoinette in a pissing match without realizing that, once Louis XV (who was already in his sixties at the story's beginning) would inevitably die, Marie Antoinette would be the queen and capable of dishing whatever revenge she wished against her. Ironically, her undoing ends up being at the hands of the king's confessor, who convinces the ailing king to throw her out. She lampshades this later to Oscar. In this particular affair other people were equally guilty. First of all Marie Antoinette, who had married Louis Auguste as part of the deal that ended the centuries of rivalry between France and Austria, openly snubbed the lover of the King of France, jeopardizing the arrangement - though to her credit once the Count De Mercy points out she risks causing a war she immediately swallows her pride and determines to speak to Du Barry in public. And then there's the King's daughters, who not only had egged on Marie Antoinette from the start but when the latter was about to talk to Du Barry went and dragged Marie Antoinette out of the room, almost causing a war up until Marie Antoinette begged Louis XV for another chance to fix the mess. Cardinal Rohan did it big time due his attempts at getting in Marie Antoinette's good graces. Between Marie Antoinette being the daughter of Maria Theresa (who had very little tolerance for him and his womanizing ways), Antoinette having a personal grudge against him for both spreading rumours about her and talking bad of her mother, and her answers at his initial attempts he should have realized earlier that the letters given to him by Jeanne were fakes, especially given that they were signed "Marie Antoinette de France" (by convention, royalty only uses their given names when signing, and with the House of Rohan having prince Ã©tranger status he should have known). And yet he not only failed to do so, but got duped in the infamous Affair of the Diamond Necklace. To be fair he did find the difference between the queen's actions and the tone of the letters rather strange, but Jeanne had him meet a perfect lookalike of the queen to confirm her story... Averted by Oscar: she does make a point of thinking everything through, and was able to pull a lot of crap (including holding the lover of king Louis XV at swordpoint) and live to tell the tale (not that she was stupid enough to do it) specifically because she quickly thought it through before pulling it. Best showed by the pissing match between the Countess Du Barry and Marie Antoinette (also the only time Oscar has to think it long enough that we immediately see what made her decide that way): at the start Oscar just wanted to enjoy the show, and upon being forced to take sides she thought about the Du Barry being more powerful due being the king's lover, Marie Antoinette being the wife of the Dauphin (and thus both the future queen and, with the king's wife being long dead, the highest-ranking woman in the whole France), and the king already being rather old (he would live only two more years) before taking Marie Antoinette's side. After Marie Antoinette was forced to surrender and Du Barry tried to take revenge on Oscar by framing her mother for murder, Oscar spelled it out loud to the countess, causing her to realize she didn't think it though before engaging in a pissing match with the future queen and getting away with holding her at swordpoint in her own apartments.

The Rose of Versailles (Manga) / int_aabe2fb	type	Deliberate Values Dissonance
The Rose of Versailles (Manga) / int_aabe2fb	comment	Deliberate Values Dissonance: This is pretty much inevitable when you're writing a historical drama set in the 18th Century: Severe homophobia is the norm, rather than the exception, and accusations of lesbianism hurt both Oscar and Marie Antoinette. Antoinette is occasionally referred to as a tomboy by other characters as a young girl, due to her desire to run around and play instead of adhering to court etiquette or studying. While her active personality does go against societal expectations for a noble lady, by modern standards she's really not very tomboyish at all and would be considered a Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak at most, especially given her generally feminine interests. The story doesn't gloss over the fact that upper-class girls were frequently married off as young teenagers — or even preteens, as Charlotte de Polignac is forced into an Arranged Marriage by her mother when she's only eleven years old. Marie being lucky to have a husband in her age bracket is also touched upon, since many of these girls were married to much older men. As pointed out by the Duchess of Polignac, in 18th century France it was perfectly normal for married people to have lovers, as long as it didn't get in the way of generating a legitimate heir. In fact Oscar's parents are considered weird for being completely loyal to each other, and when a character who seems to be the Count of Jarjayes' illegitimate son shows up in a side story other nobles simply wonder why he was hiding it. There's actually a double dose of this, as Marie Antoinette, being born and raised in the more sexually upright Austria, has trouble accepting the very idea of sex outside wedlock. Early on this actually played a part in her hostility to Madame Du Barry, as she was openly the lover of Louis XV (a widower) and a former prostitute to boot, and while she became more tolerant of extramarital affairs she still refused to take Fersen as a lover. Soldiers of a Household Regiment at one point quip how weird it is that King Louis XVI would often wear modest and practical clothes and would try and help the poor (the occasion being his order to round up the unemployed men of Paris so they can clear away the ice and snow at Versailles, and make sure to pay them well). There's again a double dose, as Maria Theresa, Archduchess of Austria and Holy Roman Empress, is of the opinion a ruler should dress modestly, with only the barest needs in addition to their own dignity to indicate their position, and she's appalled at finding out that Marie Antoinette went native on this. The story doesn't gloss over the elitism and class prejudices that plagued pre-revolutionary France. For example, while there are plenty of legitimate reasons to dislike Madame Du Barry, many people at court disdain her at least partly because she's a jumped-up commoner whose relationship with Louis XV gives her a de facto higher standing than many among the "legitimate" French nobility. The instant assumption that a prostitute must be a terrible person raises a few eyebrows these days, but it was the prevailing attitude at the time the story is set, and it shows in the way many characters instantly assume the worst of anyone who is or was involved in sex work.

Goes double for Oscar's units: in the Gardes du Corps Oscar enrolled into (and later commanded the) Compagnie Ecossaise (Scots Company, so called due originally being composed by Scots emigrates), the elite among the Gardes du Corps, while in the Gardes FranÃ§aises (the elite infantry regiment of the entire French Army, not just the Maison Militaire) Oscar commands a grenatier company (by that time grenatiers had ceased to be grenade-armed infantry and were elite infantry). Special mention goes to the Swiss regiment Salis-Samade: some of their men, detached to reinforce the Bastille, are those who killed Oscar.

The Rose of Versailles (Manga) / int_d67f0a23	comment	Soldiers of a Household Regiment at one point quip how weird it is that King Louis XVI would often wear modest and practical clothes and would try and help the poor (the occasion being his order to round up the unemployed men of Paris so they can clear away the ice and snow at Versailles, and make sure to pay them well). There's again a double dose, as Maria Theresa, Archduchess of Austria and Holy Roman Empress, is of the opinion a ruler should dress modestly, with only the barest needs in addition to their own dignity to indicate their position, and she's appalled at finding out that Marie Antoinette went native on this.

The Rose of Versailles (Manga) / int_da0eeab5	comment	Breakout Character: The manga was originally intended to focus on Marie Antoinette, with Oscar as a supporting cast member, and hence the story arc of the manga begins with Marie's birth and ends with her death. Oscar became so popular with readers that she quickly took over the focus of the story, and other adaptations of the work focus on her as the main character from the start. In particular, the anime begins with the birth of Oscar.

The Rose of Versailles (Manga) / int_dfa40c1b	type	Didn't See That Coming
The Rose of Versailles (Manga) / int_dfa40c1b	comment	Didn't See That Coming: A lot. For example, Marie Antoinette didn't see Jeanne Valois successfully convincing the people that Marie was the culprit behind the Affair of the Diamond Necklace, and was rather shocked by it. She could have seen it coming, had she not been sheltered by most of the court and madame Polignac had not convinced her to isolate herself from pretty much everyone who wasn't part of her inner circle... Also, Jeanne and madame Polignac didn't expect to meet Rosalie at Versailles. This time they couldn't have possibly seen it coming: Jeanne knew Rosalie very well and expected her to remain in the slums of Paris as a working woman and had no knowledge of their mother's death, while madame Polignac, who had accidentally run over their mother and told Rosalie to visit at Versailles if she wanted to complain, couldn't possibly expect that, in the attempt to do just that, Rosalie would have befriended Oscar, who trained her to act as a lady and brought her in Versailles. Both Rosalie and madame Polignac didn't expect Rosalie to be madame Polignac's illegitimate daughter from Jacques de Valois de Saint-RÃ©my, last descendant of the House of Valois, and were rather shocked to find out: Rosalie when AndrÃ© discovered that of all the women named Martin Gabrielle in the peerage, Yolande Martine Gabrielle de Polignac, nee de Polastron, was the right one, madame Polignac when her daughter mentioned Rosalie's full name).

Justified, as this is less about Oscar going fail-tastic at fighting without reason, and more about AndrÃ© almost crossing the Despair Event Horizon when he comes to think she's throwing her life away, and Oscar being throughly shocked when unable to face a truth she has been avoiding for so long.

In Great Detective Loulou, the characters' faces are much narrower, with smaller eyes and more rounded noses, and Ikeda makes more use of screentones and shading for the backgrounds and clothing.

The Rose of Versailles (Manga) / int_e4b69188	comment	Very Loosely Based on a True Story: Oscar is very loosely based on D'Eon de Beaumont, a crossdressing late-18th Century French spy, the main difference being that D'Eon was a (rather androgynous) man posing as a woman, though he often claimed to be the opposite (either as a deliberate disinformation tactic, being a trans woman or simply suffering from an extreme case of Becoming the Mask). Fittingly, a later manga, Le Chevalier d'Eon, fictionalizing the actual D'Eon (more or less), takes a large number of cues from The Rose of Versailles.
