List of Rozen Maiden chapters

The chapters of the manga series Rozen Maiden (ローゼンメイデン Rōzen Meiden?) were written and drawn by Peach-Pit. The first chapter premiered in the September 2002 issue of Comic Birz where it was serialized monthly until it came to an abrupt halt in the June 2007 issue, due to the author's hospitalization.[1] The series then re-started in April 2008, this time appearing in Weekly Young Jump,[2] where it is again being serialized monthly. The series follows Jun Sakurada, a hikikomori who spends most of his time locked in the safety of his room and ordering items from the internet. However, through a strange order form, he finds himself in possession of an enchanted doll that calls herself "Shinku, the fifth Rozen Maiden doll".

  • Prologue
  • Phase 1 - Phase 4
Jun Sakurada has withdrawn from the outside world--friends, school, even his elder sister, who loves him dearly and cares for him in their parents' absence. To cope with the severity of his personal exile, Jun has taken to ordering products online and then returning them just before the grace period ends. But when a website instructs him to place an order for a beautifully rendered doll in his desk drawer, what arrives in the morning can't be returned...
