Rose of Versailles 2025 Movie:

The 2025 Rose of Versailles movie is a very, very abridged adaptation of the anime/manga story. It covers the same story and ends a similar way, but it is essentially just summarizing a number of the major plot points. It is also, strangely enough, a musical.

The the Du Barry rivalry is visually summarized in a song, the black knight story is omitted, and Rosalie is on screen for all of five seconds. If the movie was your first experience with the series, watch the anime or read the manga for a much better experience.

What to Expect From The Rose of Versailles Manga?

The Rose of Versailles anime and manga don’t really differ in the core story it is telling, but there are definitely a lot of very small differences between them.

Most of what was cut from the Rose of Versailles anime from the manga is side stories. Essentially, the anime cut out any side story that wasn’t serving the main story. Perhaps it is more accurate to say that if the side story wouldn’t eventually involve Oscar, it wasn’t included.

While it isn’t necessary to read the Rose of Versailles manga from the beginning after the anime, you will definitely find a lot of differences between them that actually does make reading the story from the beginning feel pretty new.
