The timeless Shojo series, The Rose of Versailles, is set to make its comeback to the big screen with a new movie. Its original anime adaptation premiered in 1979 and remains one of the greatest Shojo series to date. Authored and illustrated by Riyoko Ikeda, the manga was originally published in Margaret Magazine from 1972 to 1973.
