Rozen Maiden

With a rose collar around your neck and a silver chain in your mouth...

...once again tonight, I despise you for finishing alone.

Kneel down and lap up the bitter dewdrops of love.

Inexperienced discipline administered upon the angel.

In the coffin called "the self," my soul is still astir.

Torn wings return to life in the moonlight, becoming gossamer.

More frightening than the darkness is solitude.

Let us indulge in the proof of our unity beneath the Cross.

Removing the rose handcuffs and crossing pale wrists.

The miracle of this rapport, you are so dear to me.

Kneel down and make this offering, the painful words of love.

They are a red arabesque staining the gauze.

I don't care if it's a sin. Tell me you love these forbidden lips.

Oh, my.

Rose Maiden

What? Today's no good too, Nori?

Sorry, Jun-kun's not doing well, so...

I see. You've got it rough, Nori.

Ask me next time. Well, see you tomorrow.

Careful on your way home! You always...

Nothing here either.

Jun-kun, I'm home!

Hi, package.

Stamp, please.

Stamp, please.

Stamp, please.

Stamp, please.

Stamp, please.

Jun-kun!

Sakurada-san, package for you!

"Once you've perused the clause below...

...please place it in the second drawer of your desk.

Curse ...please place it in the second drawer of your desk.

...please place it in the second drawer of your desk.

The artificial spirit Holie...

Grudge The artificial spirit Holie...

Grudge ...will come for it from an alternate dimension."

...will come for it from an alternate dimension."

Man, a fairy and an alternate dimension...

This feels like a rare find. Let's see...

Will you wind? Or not wind?

J-Jun-kun...

Knock before coming in.

Jun-kun, lots of packages today.

Curse Jun-kun, lots of packages today.

Curse Voodoo doll, gold and silver pearls of happiness...

Gold and Silver Pearls Voodoo doll, gold and silver pearls of happiness...

Voodoo doll, gold and silver pearls of happiness...

These x-ray glasses...

I bought them all via mail order. Don't just open them.

Please, stop it already. If you want something, I'll...

No way.

I don't want some outsider criticizing the one thing I enjoy.

I'm not an outsider. I'm your sister.

sentakunori = laundry glue Shut up, Sentaku-Nori.

B-But...

Iffy mail-order places like this sometimes cheat you. On TV...

I know. Once they come and I get a good laugh...

...I return them before the trial ends.

The thrill of possibly getting stuck with some piece of junk...

Irresistible.

J-Jun-kun...

You...

...just thought it was sad. That it was creepy.

N-Not true. I just thought it's kind of wrong to do that.

Anyway, let's find you a cheerier hobby, like lacrosse.

Right! Doing good!

You might have a knack!

Jun-kun...

Ship the packages in the living room today or there's no refund.

Say, Jun-kun...

Won't you at least eat meals with me again?

I want to have fun talks and hear about your current hobbies.

Then I'm sure you'll go back to school...

Get going already! Or you won't make it in time!

She completely ruined the mood.

Ouch, my shin...

What's on the floor here?

T-This...

...is a doll, right?

Wow...

It's huge.

It's really well made.

It's soft.

She's wearing some... Figures.

Just a bit is okay, right?

Oh, the neighbor's baby.

Oh, the neighbor's baby. There, there.

Good. What's wrong?

Good. What's wrong? Better hurry.

You touched me.

Honestly, human males are more vulgar than I guessed.

Um...

What's your name?

J-Jun...

Jun Sakurada.

Forget that. What are you?

A doll, right?

I am Shinku, the fifth Rozen Maiden doll.

Rozen Maiden?

But what a filthy place. It is not worthy of me to live in.

Live?

I'm reluctant but have no choice. After all, you wound me up.

You must have answered Holie's query.

Holie?

Will you wind?

Will you wind? Wound? You don't mean...

It's not here. That can't be...

I see. It's a new superstition scam.

Talk about elaborate. I bet you're remote-controlled.

Don't touch me.

Honestly, this terrible lack of etiquette is appalling.

Could this be a curse for not taking voodoo goods seriously?

Oh? I'd like to take a look at that doll.

Look?

Pick me up.

Like this?

You're holding me wrong.

Yes, like this from now on.

What do you mean by "from now on"?

I can't reach. Get it.

Okay, okay.

You have quite a nice doll for a human.

It's a voodoo doll though.

She hardly seems like a doll...

She's soft, talks normally, and even her face is human...

She's a girl from any angle.

What?

N-Nothing.

Here already, I see.

Honestly, no time even for tea.

Well, human...

...unfortunately, you're going to die now.

If you'd rather not, swear.

T-This is dumb. I don't really care if I die.

It may be a threat, but...

I-I'm going to die! I'm going to die!

I-I'm going to die! I'm going to die! Please, it only cut your clothing.

Damn it.

Help me!

Someone!
