Riyoko Ikeda’s seminal manga, The Rose of Versailles, a vivid depiction of the loves and lives of those struggling to survive in revolutionary France, will be receiving a new theatrical adaptation. Although more than 50 years have passed since the manga series began in 1972, the world of The Rose of Versailles, along with the way of life of Oscar and the other protagonists, have not faded from the public consciousness. The story will be adapted into a theatrical anime, scheduled to be released on January 31, 2025.
In commemoration of this upcoming release, a collaboration cafe will be held, sponsored by a manga exhibition project. The cafe presents an opportunity to further immerse oneself in the world of The Rose of Versailles.
