Yeah, I wrote earlier about the confirmation of the Rozen Maiden manga serialization in Young Jump, along with pictorial evidence, in my Re: Rozen Maiden Manga Restarts in Young Jump post on the Peach-Pit Draws One-Shot Manga in Young Jump Mag thread at this forum.

I take it then that the series is switching publishers then, unless they are keeping the same company and just running the series in Young Jump. That is a smart move though by Young Jump. Hopefully this can help with sales a bit.

Hello! Smile

I am glad to see that there will be more Rozen Maiden manga. Now I can only hope that someone will put out the rest of season 2 on R1 DVD and also someone will get the OVA on DVD. It would also be nice to get a season 3.

Season 2 could take a while, since it was the now defunct Geneon that licensed the series. That means somebody else has to at least get the distribution rights.

Hello! Smile

I am truly hoping that some other group will be able to get the rights to take care of Geneon's ongoing titles. I am also hoping that it will not take too long for that to happen. Rozen Maiden is not the only one that I have from Geneon that I want to finish. I know that there are others who want to finish thier collections of Geneon titles.

However with all that said I am hoping that more great things will happen for Rozen Maiden.

Because of the lack of a good ending for the Rozen Maiden manga, I didn't bother picking it up. Now that it is continuing, I shall have to get it.

It seemed to me from the ending shots of the second season, that they intended for their to be a third season. With more manga coming, here's hoping for that third season. Now, if someone would just pick up where Geneon left off.

The Rozen Maiden manga by PEACH-PIT was originally serialized in a very minor manga magazine, Comic BIRZ, published by Gentosha. From everything I have heard, Comic BIRZ's circulation numbers in Japan are tiny (maybe much less than 10,000 now).

When first week DVD sales figures in Japan for the limited edition of the Rozen Maiden Ouverture anime special came out from Oricon in late February/early March 2007, a Japanese poster on an animation DVD sales in Japan thread at 2ch, in utter disbelief, wondered how can an anime which originated in a very minor manga magazine sell so well on DVD?

Evidently, the anime version greatly helped popularize Rozen Maden in Japan.

According to PEACH-PIT, their new Rozen Maiden manga will be serialized monthly in Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump seinen manga magazine starting with Issue 20 (April 17, 2008).

As you can seen from the JMPA magazine data cited above, Weeky Young Jump has a circulation of nearly 1,000,000 in Japan.

With widespread exposure among general readers in a major young men's magazine and the financial backing of a major publisher, Rozen Maiden should gain many new fans and become even more popular.

Suffering from stagnant sales and a decline in readership the past few years, Weekly Young Jump should benefit as well, attracting significant numbers of new readers.

PEACH PIT's remodeled official website has opened early, on Saturday, March 29, 2008. It was scheduled to open in April 2008.

With all the financial resources at their hand that Comic BIRZ and Gentosha can only dream about, Weekly Young Jump and Shueisha appear to be mounting a major marketing compaign for Rozen Maiden, such as reissuing the old Rozen Maiden manga volumes in renewal editions (shinsouban tankoubon) under the Young Jump Comics imprint label, and including a set of Rozen Maiden stickers in Issue 18 of Weekly Young Jump, which goes on sale April 3, 2008 at major convenience store (konbini) chains - Seven-Eleven, LAWSON, FamilyMart, Circle K Sunkus, ampm, DAILY YAMAZAKI, Seicomart, MINISTOP, Three F, POPLAR, cocostore, and HOT SPAR - across Japan.

A third season/series (and probably more) of the Rozen Maiden anime is virtually guaranteed now - something which I have long maintained here and on other forums like Anime****.

The Rozen Maiden anime has a track record for being a moneymaker in Japan. Its devoted Japanese fans have proven that they support and buy things Rozen Maiden, and will definitely continue to do so in the future. The anime, the drama CDs, the music CDs, the Suigintou no Koyoi mo Ennu~i (Suigintou's It's Ennui Again, Tonight) Internet radio show and CDs, the games, the figurines, the dolls, etc., as well as the manga, will undoubtely go on in Japan.
