The classic shojo manga and anime series The Rose of Versailles is receiving a new collaboration with Sanrio and its iconic mascot characters. The collaboration comes in anticipation of MAPPA’s upcoming new anime film set for release in Spring 2025.
The company teased the collaboration in a newly released collaboration visual, featuring the series’ four main characters as cute Sanrio mascots. The highlighted characters include Oscar François de Jarjayes, Marie Antoinette, André Grandier, and Hans Axel von Fersen.
Additionally, a pop-up event will also take place in the future, along with the sale of collaboration goods and merchandise. More details will be announced later on.
The 2025 Rose Of Versailles film is the latest anime project that is inspired by Riyoko Ikeda’s 1972 manga series of the same name. Previously, there was a 1979 to 1980 anime series and 1990 anime movie titled The Rose of Versailles: I’ll Love You As Long As I Live, which was produced by Tokyo Movie Shinsha (now TMS Entertainment).
