manga manga for women) from the 1960s largely consisted of simple stories aimed at school-aged girls, where themes such as politics and sexuality were considered taboo. These attitudes began to change in the 1970s, when new authors began to move shoujo manga away from children and towards teenagers and young women.
This change was spearheaded by the Year 24 Group, a new generation of shoujo manga artists, including Ikeda. The group received this name because they were born around the year 24 of the Showa era (1949 in the Gregorian calendar).

Synopsis The Rose of Versailles:
To unite their countries, the Empress of Austria arranges the marriage of her daughter, the spoiled Marie Antoinette, to the Crown Prince of France, Louis XVI. In Versailles, Antoinette meets Oscar François de Jarjayes, captain of the royal guard, who, surprisingly, is a woman.
The noble family, lacking a male heir, raised Oscar as a boy to continue the military legacy. Suffocated by the rigid rules of her new position and yearning for companionship, Antoinette quickly takes an interest in Oscar and they soon become friends. However, while the new queen abuses her power, Oscar finds herself torn between her loyalty to the royal family and the poverty of the people.
Finally, Riyoko Ikeda began publishing the manga in Shueisha's Margaret magazine in May 1972 and suspended it in December 1973. He later republished it between April 2013 and February 2018, accumulating fourteen compiled volumes.
Furthermore, the premiere will take place in 2025 in Japanese cinemas.
