Set in a world embroiled in a complex war (ca. 1930), Taki Reizen, the heir to an aristocratic family especially favoured by the Emperor, leads his countrymen against the encroaching threat from both their enemies and their volatile allies. However, his position as [[The Messiah|messiah]] to his people and his authority in the military are now being undermined primarily by his acceptance of a knight from an enemy country, Klaus von Wolfstadt, who is something of a loose-cannon. [[Boys Love|He is also Taki's lover]].

 

Despite the story being about a relationship between two men, it is notable for the sheer scope of the political and military backdrop that spur on much of the [[Porn with Plot|plot]], and the series' author Inariya Fusanosuke has embedded such rich imagery and symbolism into the mythos it truly stands out in its genre. At its most basic, [[Maiden Rose]] poignantly examines the pressures of duty and social expectation as they clash with the complexities of human desire and emotion.

 

Not to be confused with ''[[Rozen Maiden]]''.

 

* [[100% Adoration Rating]]: [[The Messiah|Taki]] truly cares about his soldiers and they love and respect him, the [[Child Soldier|children]] look up to him and want to be like him, etc.

* [[Ace Pilot]]: Both Klaus and his mother are [[Ace Pilot|Ace Pilots]].

* [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: Why you don't force your way into Taki's...land.<ref>Taki uses a [[Tank Goodness|Ferdinand]], a tank used to ''destroy other tanks'' for firing on the train of Duchess Theodora. Berkut even commented on how insane it was.</ref>

* [[Train Station Goodbye]]: Averted against all expectation by taking out the 'goodbye' bit, and essentially starting the story.

* [[Tranquil Fury]]. '''Taki''', as Berkut found out the hard way.

* [[Unequal Pairing]]: Taki is the master, Klaus is his knight.
