The manga "La Rose de Versailles," also known as "Berubara," (a Japanese short form of "Versailles rose") has been a fan favorite since the shojo manga (young girls' comic) was serialized in the magazine Shukan Margaret in 1972. The manga depicts fictional events based around historical characters such as Marie Antoinette and her secret lover, the Swedish aristocrat Hans Axel von Fersen, through the eyes of the manga's central character, Oscar Francois de Jarjayes.
