Rozen Maiden: Ouvertüre

When Jun repairs an ornament on Shinku’s dress, he adds a brooch as a gift. Her furious rejection leaves him bewildered, but Souseiseki recognizes the pain behind it and recalls a time before Shinku and Suigintou became bitter enemies.

Suigintou once appeared before Shinku claiming to be the first Rozen Maiden, yet she could barely stand. Shinku helped her learn to walk, while Suigintou clung to the hope of meeting the maker she called Father. As the dolls’ struggle to become the perfect girl, Alice, intruded on their fragile bond, secrets and misunderstandings began turning an act of kindness into a lasting wound.
