New Rozen Maiden story arc takes place several years in the future, with Jun in college. It’s not a reboot.
Evidently Jun has forgotten everything about the Alice games, after Laplace Demon ended it.
However he’s been selected to be Shinku’s master again… yet this time, he has to build her (the parts and instructions are mailed to him on a weekly basis). He already has her wind-up key.
At the end on the issue, Jun gets a message that no more parts will be sent to him. This pisses him off. I assume that means Jun will have to complete Shinku himself without help.
Shinku is not alive yet.
Also at the end, Jun discovers an old phone text, that he sends to himself from the past. It alludes that Kanaria is losing to Kirakishou, and that he needs the strength of “future Jun” to save the others.
It’s all kinda freaky… but cool nonetheless.
No Boku or Desu sadly. Will be interesting to see how they get built, if Jun has to build all the dolls: will see if it proves or disproves the theory, that Desu and Boku eyes were switched (i.e. one was supposed to get all red, the other was to get all green). :mrgreen:
