Maiden Rose

Maiden Rose (百日の薔薇, Hyakujitsu no Bara) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Fusanosuke Inariya.

The story follows their romance as it evolves from friendship to love, battling mistrust, doubt and anger before solidifying in an unshakable bond.

After having gotten lost in the gardens surrounding the area, he stumbled upon a young Taki, who asked him to help him pick some flowers from one of the trees above them to place them on his ceremonial headgear.

When Eurote broke a treaty with the Western Alliance and invaded Dheedene, Taki was ordered to be deported back to his country.

[7] Michelle Smith of Pop Culture Shock found the manga "promising" and "confusing", cautioning that it is "not for the faint of heart".

[8] Authors such as Fusanosuke Inariya (of Maiden Rose fame) utilize rape not as the traditional romantic catalyst, but as a tragic dramatic plot element, rendering her stories a subversion of contemporary tropes that reinforce and reflect older tropes such as the prevalence of romantic tragedy themes.
