The Rose of Versailles (with Erica Friedman)
Listen now
Description
Covers all 10 volumes plus the 10th anniversary side stories of THE ROSE OF VERSAILLES by Riyoko Ikeda (that's the five omnibus volumes released by Udon!) It's hard to overstate how significant THE ROSE OF VERSAILLES is to the history of shojo manga and beyond. In this episode about Riyoko Ikeda's masterpiece, Erica Friedman, the editor of the English edition of the series, details the legacy of Oscar François de Jarjayes, the ultimate girl prince. Erica answers listener questions about the localization, plus she and Ashley dive into the series' queerness (despite not being ABOUT gender or sexuality), how historically accurate it is to the events of the French Revolution (immensely), and much more. We hope you're as delighted as we are to finally be able to read this iconic series legally, in gorgeous English editions.
