The Rose Of Versailles movie is the latest anime project that is inspired by the manga by Riyoko Ikeda. Previously, there were a 1979 to 1980 anime series and 1990 anime movie (titled The Rose of Versailles: I’ll Love You As Long As I Live) produced by Tokyo Movie Shinsha (now TMS Entertainment). The new film’s synopsis is as follows:
Oscar François de Jarjayes, raised as the “son” and heir of a general’s family, masquerades as a beautiful woman in men’s clothing. Marie Antoinette arriving from neighboring Austria as a bride to become a noble and graceful queen.. Oscar’s servant and childhood friend, the commoner André Grandier. Hans Axel von Fersen, a handsome and intelligent count from Sweden. They meet in Versailles, France in the prosperous late 18th Century and live their respective destinies beautifully while being tossed about by the tides of times.
The Shueisha-published manga ran from 1972 to 1973 in Margaret and was first published under the Margaret Comics label with 10 tankoubon volumes. Udon Entertainment publishes the title in English.
The Rose Of Versailles has also inspired a 1979 live-action film titled Lady Oscar, a musical by the Takarazuka Revue Company, a sequel, and spin-offs. A pilot for a new anime movie was shown at the Tokyo International Anime Fair in 2007.
