I am so happy we finally have The Rose of Versailles in English. There are 3 volumes published with 2 more on the way in these lovely hardback editions. This manga is quintessential shojo, and one of the best selling titles in that genre. Written in 1972, the story follows Lady Oscar, a young woman raised to be a man, who serves in the French Royal Guard during the time of Marie Antionette and the French Revolution. A must read for shojo fans!
