Communication has been cut off between Jun and the scam artist claiming to be his younger self, the more positive version of himself who chose to wind the turn key. University-aged Jun finds himself alone with all the doll parts he has completed, perplexed as to how to proceed now that the publication has gone out of print in mid-run. He finds his unhappy and disatisfying young life has been turned upside-down by the unexpected desire to create something, for the first time in a very long time. Once upon a time, a very long time ago, a supportive teacher accidentally made his life into a living hell, because other children can be very jealous and inexplicably cruel. His younger, and naively optimistic, self finally re-establishes contact and sets university-aged Jun back on the path to completing Rozen Maiden doll No.5, "Shinku," but there is yet another trial in store.

Synopsis

During the events of the original Rozen Maiden, after circling "yes" on a paper and agreeing to wind an unknown "something," a traumatized Jun Sakurada fights alongside the lifelike dolls known as the Rozen Maidens. But what would have happened if Jun had circled "no"?

Jun, having gotten over his school trauma from his younger days, spends his time attending college and working in a bookstore. However, he does not feel as though he belongs anywhere. One day, he finds a book containing instructions on how to make a Rozen Maiden. Mysteriously, when he arrives home that night, the second volume in the book series has been delivered to his house, along with some pieces of a doll. But as suddenly as they started arriving, the books stop coming, and Jun gets a notice that says that the books have ceased being published. With an incomplete doll in hand, and a message from his other self in another world, this Jun also finds his way into the world of the Rozen Maidens.
