"Rozen Maiden: Träumend" is the second season of the "Rozen Maiden" anime series, continuing the story of Jun Sakurada and the living dolls known as the Rozen Maidens. The narrative revolves around the Alice Game, a mystical competition orchestrated by the enigmatic dollmaker Rozen. The goal of the Alice Game is for the seven Rozen Maidens to battle one another, with the victor becoming the perfect doll, Alice, and gaining the love of their creator.

Jun, a reclusive teenager who initially avoids human interaction, becomes entangled in the Alice Game after forming a contract with Shinku, the fifth Rozen Maiden. Shinku is a refined and elegant doll with a strong sense of duty, determined to win the Alice Game while maintaining her dignity. As the story progresses, Jun and Shinku develop a close bond, with Jun gradually overcoming his social anxieties through their partnership.
