Rozen Maiden, Vol. 1

2003

After a traumatic incident, Jun Sakurada refuses to interact with the outside world and return to school - he even shuts out his sister, his closest friend. Jun spends most of his time online buying spiritual items that are obvious rip-offs. One day he finds a website that curiously enough asks him to put his order in his desk drawer. Thinking it's a joke, Jun plays along. The following day a suitcase arrives containing a doll named Shinku . . . that comes to life before his very eyes! Welcome to the world of Rozen Maiden, where Jun must enter an all-new reality to protect and serve a living doll . . .

Rozen Maiden, Vol. 2

Shinku gets a new servant in Hinaichigo, but Hinaichigo's insatiable need for companionship might prove harmful to the new doll owner, and when another Rozen Maiden, Suiseiseki, shows up exclaiming that her twin, Soseiseki, has been taken hostage by a bad human, Shinku and Jun must find the missing doll.

Rozen Maiden, Vol. 4

Peach-Pit (ピーチ・ピット Pīchi Pitto) is a female manga artist duo in Japan, made up of Banri Sendo (千道万里 Sendō Banri) and Shibuko Ebara (えばら渋子 Ebara Shibuko). Their group name derives from the diner hangout Peach-Pit from the TV show Beverly Hills, 90210. Although both have similar styles, with some artwork it is possible to identify which artist drew it. Both are known for their bishōjo styled works. As noted in their books, they are both Geminis and have "Almost flushed our phones down the toilet...twice." The two of them grew up together and went to the same elementary school and have been best friends ever since. Both started as doujinshi manga artists, but not as Peach-Pit. Then they were scouted by Dengeki Comic Gao!. In 2008, one of their manga, Shugo Chara!, was awarded the Kodansha Manga Award for best children's manga. Shugo Chara was also turned later into an Anime television series.
