Synopsis:
Jun Sakurada, a withdrawn young man burdened by past school experiences, finds his isolated existence irrevocably altered by the arrival of a mysterious wind-up doll. This is Shinku, one of the Rozen Maidens – a collection of automatons created by the enigmatic dollmaker Rozen. Shinku and her sisters are engaged in a contest known as the Alice Game, requiring a human partner to determine which doll will become "Alice," a girl deemed worthy of their creator's attention.
As more dolls enter Jun’s home, he is drawn into a world of intricate rules and competitive relationships. The narrative explores themes of companionship, identity, and the blurred lines between artificiality and genuine emotion. The series unfolds with a focus on character dynamics within a uniquely structured environment, hinting at deeper mysteries surrounding both the Rozen Maidens' origins and the forces arrayed against them.
