“Team Oscar, blasting off at the speed of light!”
The Rose of Versailles / La Rose de Versailles (ベルサイユのばら Berusaiyu no Bara), also known as 'Lady Oscar', is one of the best-known titles in shōjo manga and a media franchise created by Riyoko Ikeda.
The series focuses on Oscar François de Jarjayes, a girl raised as a man to become her father's successor as leader of the Palace Guards. A brilliant combatant with a strong sense of justice, Oscar is proud of the life she leads, but becomes torn between class loyalty and her desire to help the impoverished as revolution brews among the oppressed lower class. Also important to the story are her conflicting desires to live life as both a militiant and a regular woman as well as her relationships with Marie Antoinette, Count Axel von Fersen, and servant and best friend André Grandier.
