The Rose of Versailles, the romantic series that originated as a manga in 1972 by Riyoko Ikeda and published by Shueisha, is back with a new adaptation by MAPPA. The series has been adapted multiple times in various formats, including a 1979 anime, musicals, and live-action productions, and has become a classic, especially in Japan.
The synopsis of the original series:
Raised from birth as a man, the Lady Oscar commands the palace guards at Versailles in the years before the French Revolution. Her beauty and noble spirit make her a shining figure in the eyes of both men and women, but she is torn between her chosen life of service and duty to class and country and her own heart and desires. She lives as a noble amidst the opulence of Versailles, but her keen senses and compassion are not blinded to the poverty of the French people.
