Rozen Maiden (Japanese: ローゼンメイデン, Hepburn: Rōzen Meiden) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Peach-Pit. It was serialized in Monthly Comic Birz between the September 2002 and July 2007 issues. The individual chapters were collected and released into eight tankōbon volumes by Gentosha. The eight volumes were localized to North America by Tokyopop between March 2003 and June 2007. The story follows Jun Sakurada, a middle school student who withdrew from society after suffering persecutions from his classmates.

Rozen Maidens are seven sentient porcelain dolls who compete against each other to become a perfect doll dubbed as Alice.

Rozen Maiden received a sequel under the series' katakana title. It was serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump between April 2008 and January 2014. Rozen Maiden has spun off anthology manga and novel stories, art books, and four anime series; the four anime series are titled Rozen Maiden, Rozen Maiden: Träumend, Rozen Maiden: Ouvertüre, and Rozen Maiden: Zurückspulen.

Reception

[edit]

Tokyopop's localized volumes appeared on ICv2's monthly top one-hundred selling graphic novels.[113][114][115][116] The Rozen Maiden manga has received generally positive reviews. Anime News Network praised Peach-Pit's works as always being able to evoke excitement or laughter from its readers but was critical about Rozen Maiden's lack of plot and criticized how the dialogue or layout can be vague.[117] Comic Book Bin wrote that while Rozen Maiden was not a splendid manga, its emphasis on psychology and emotion was something American comics should follow to expand their readership.[118] Active Anime praised several aspects of the series: the combination of mystery, comedy, and cuteness with a balance of fantasy and drama;[119] the visual aesthetics of the images and characters;[120] and a broadness that extends towards teens and adults.[121] Initially, Anime Land praised the balance between comedic daily life and the underlying dark side of the plot.[122][123] In later volumes though, Anime Land criticized the story's pacing and the abrupt ending.[124][125][126] In their review of the sequel, Anime Land wrote they were surprised by the dark tone and how the plot was confusing even with knowledge from the first series.[127][128] Manga-News also praised the story's alteration between moments of peace and conflict but panned the latter volumes for being rushed and losing the story's complexity.[129] In their review of the sequel, Manga-News praised the introduction for being interesting and accessible to new readers.[130]

In 2005, Japanese television network TV Asahi conducted a "Top 100" online web poll and the Rozen Maiden anime adaptation placed 50th.[131] In the subsequent year, Rozen Maiden: Träumend ranked 7th in a "Top 20" poll conducted by Japanese anime magazine Animage.[132] Active Anime had several reviewers for the anime series Rozen Maiden and its sequel Rozen Maiden: Träumend. Christopher Seaman wrote several praises for the anime: the high quality visuals and the detail in the dolls' designs; the soundtrack which complements the visuals; and the story which he considered to be engaging, fast-paced, and comedic.[133][134] Sandra Scholes described the series as a lavish production and that while it is battle oriented during fight scenes, it also offers emotional moments that cater to girls.[135][136] Davey C. Jones commented the series is something Chobits fans would enjoy and that Rozen Maiden: Träumend's ending is not a "feel good" ending.[137] Rachel Bentham however, was critical of the plot. Bentham described Jun's antisocial personality and friendship with the dolls to be disturbing and criticized the "there can be only one" competition between the dolls calling it misogynistic in nature.[138]

Mania initially expressed skepticism of the show's combination of Gothic Lolita, dolls, magic, and comedy but later calls it a successful experiment and praised the character interactions and the dolls' designs.[139][140] In their Rozen Maiden: Träumend review, Mania praised the visuals and characters but criticized the unbalanced comic and dark comments and described the revelations and finale as rushed.[141] Anime News Network's review of Rozen Maiden: Träumend were mostly negative and addressed several points: the failed attempts at serious drama which were considered cliché and resulted in cheesy and melodramatic dialogue;[142][143] the recycled background music; and the ending which was described as inconclusive and slapdash.[144]

Anime News Network's reviews of Rozen Maiden: Zurückspulen was generally positive. Carl Kimlinger described the characterization of the adult Jun as a "highly believable mixture of bruised pride, desperate loneliness, and downtrodden numbness" and praised how relatable the character is compared to his younger self.[145] He also praised the scripting for Jun's life and the scene where Jun's personality is being dissected by his boss to be intelligently written. Bamboo Dong praised Zurückspulen's introduction for revitalizing the series.[146] Both reviewers praised the art and dolls' designs and expressed concerns about the confusing plot.[145][146]
