I really feel like thanking some people, who made it possible for me to create this shrine.
First there are my parents, I would like to thank them for their support (they provided all the software I needed to make screen shots) and of course my sister (for moral support :P and graphical advice).
Then there is my english teacher (highschool *sigh*), Ms. Irena Jurina, who corrected all my mistakes and has always been ready to advise me.
Next I just have to mention some people, who have helped me collecting information and pictures for this page as if it was their own. These are mostly the wonderful cookies from the Lady Oscar fan club: Thigi-chan, my guide through the club; Seka-chan, Oki-chan, Shura-kun, Ryu-kun, Waru-kun, Sena-chan, Keiko-chan, Hiko-chan... I think I do not even know all the members who helped when I asked the club for help, but I sure am thankful.
Then there are all the translators: Angie, Maria Cristina, Youngmee, who translated every page of the manga you see translated on these pages (unless stated otherwise).
There is also Setsy, who provided the French lyrics and translated them, Keiko for the Japanese ones, Tina for helping me with the German scripts and Thao for writing the French script.
Special thanks also to Tomoko-san, who provided many beautiful images for me to scan, who gave me her artbook and the Takarazuka performance tape (I can not even list everything she has done for me and this page), to Udora-san for translating the Takarazuka pages, to TTN for being my advisor for the site and for scanning many images for me and Elo-chan for finding so many information for me.
And thanks to you, to everyone who is visiting this site and keeping the counter running. I have never expected to have over 8,000 visitors in a year before I started this site. But not only have you kept my counter running, mayn of you also wrote to me and gave me details about when and how the anime was shown in your country. Arigatou gozaimasu!
And last, all of my e-friends, who introduced me to the manga world of Berusaiyu no Bara. I hope our friendship will last as long as our love for The Rose!
Also thanks to ListBot for powering the mailinglist and WebRing for
providing space for the Ring of the never fading Rose.
