On the official site for the new anime adaptation of
the manga written and illustrated by Riyoko Ikeda , “ The
Rose of Versailles ( Versailles no Bara )”, a new
promotional video for the project was revealed. The video confirms that the
premiere is scheduled for early 2025 in theaters in Japan , and lists
that MAPPA studios are in charge of production.
Ikeda began publishing the manga through Shueisha 's Margaret magazine
in May 1972 and suspended it in December 1973. He later republished it between
April 2013 and February 2018, accumulating fourteen compilation volumes. The
work inspired an anime adaptation of forty episodes produced by TMS
Entertainment studios and broadcast between October 1979 and September
1980 in Japan.
Shojo manga (women's manga) of the 1960s
largely consisted of simple stories aimed at school-aged girls, which did not
deal with topics such as politics and sexuality, which were considered taboo. These
attitudes began to change in the 1970s, when new authors began to move shojo
manga away from a children's audience and toward an audience of teenagers and
young women.
This change came to be embodied by a new
generation of shojo manga artists known collectively as the 24 Year Group, of
which Ikeda was a member ; The group was so named
because its members were born in or around the year 24 of the Showa era (or
1949 in the Gregorian calendar). The group contributed significantly to the
development of shojo manga by expanding the genre to incorporate elements of
science fiction, historical fiction, adventure fiction, and same-sex romance:
both male-male (yaoi) and female-female (yuri).

Sinopsis of The Rose of Versailles
Hoping to unite their countries with an
alliance, the Empress of Austria arranges the marriage of her daughter, the
charming but spoiled Marie Antoinette, to the crown prince of France, Louis
XVI. Upon arriving at Versailles, the Austrian princess meets Oscar François de
Jarjayes, captain of the royal guard, an apparently elegant young man, but, to
Antoinette's surprise, she is actually a woman.
The youngest daughter of a noble family
lacking a male heir, Oscar was raised as a boy to continue the family's
military legacy. Suffocated by the rigid rules associated with her new position
and longing for her company, Antoinette immediately takes a liking to this
intriguing young woman, and wastes no time in befriending her. However, as the
childish new queen foolishly abuses her power, Oscar finds himself conflicted
between maintaining his loyalty to the royal family and facing growing concerns
about the poverty of the common people.
