{"product_id":"rozen-maiden-dvd","title":"Rozen Maiden - DVD","description":"\u003cp\u003eJun Sakurada is a middle school student who has shut himself in his room and refuses to go back. He orders things online, finds loopholes to return them before paying, and maintains a wall between himself and everything outside. Then a letter appears — seemingly from nowhere, asking him simply: will you wind or will you not wind? He winds. A doll in a trunk appears in his room: Shinku, the fifth Rozen Maiden — exquisite, arrogant, imperious, and bound to Jun as her medium the moment he turns her key. She informs him that he must provide her with his life force in exchange for her protection, that he is now her servant, and that his tea preparation is unacceptable. The other Rozen Maidens begin to appear: Hina Ichigo, childlike and attached to her previous medium; Suiseiseki, suspicious and prickly; Souseiseki, her quiet and disciplined twin; and Suigintou, the broken first Maiden whose hunger for victory in the Alice Game makes her the most dangerous of them all. The Alice Game is the competition that drives the series: the Rozen Maidens are dolls created by the mysterious Father Rozen, and each is intended to compete until only one remains — the winner becoming Alice, a perfect girl who can reach their creator. Jun, who wanted nothing to do with any of this, finds himself in the middle of it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRozen Maiden is a 12-episode gothic fantasy drama produced by Nomad, directed by Mamoru Kanbe, written by Jukki Hanada, scored by Kousuke Yamashita, and based on Peach-Pit's manga serialized in Monthly Comic Birz under Gentosha.
