Description
Discovered unconscious in the Swiss Alps after a 1930s plane crash by Lundi Cortot, young Jeudi survives as the sole known survivor, afflicted by complete amnesia. Lundi names her "Jeudi" after the day of her discovery. Her sole links to a forgotten past are a pet cockatoo, Printemps, and fragmented memories of a song called "Alpen Rose." Finding refuge with Lundi's aunt and uncle, she forges an inseparable bond with Lundi as they grow up.
As a teenager, Jeudi works locally; the manga shows her assisting in a store, while the anime depicts her training at a nursing school. Her life shatters when Count George de Germont, an aristocrat aligned with the Nazis, fixates on her resemblance to a lost love. After she protects Lundi and Printemps from the Count's aggression, he abducts her to his castle, intending her as his concubine. Lundi rescues her, forcing them to flee their village. They embark on a quest to uncover her origins while evading the Count, coinciding with the outbreak of World War II.
Throughout their journey, Jeudi displays resilience and compassion, risking herself to save others, like diving to rescue a girl named Clara or using medical skills to aid the injured. Her memories surface through triggers like the "Alpen Rose" melody or sensory experiences. A forced dance with Count Germont triggers a flashback of waltzing with her father. These fragments guide her and Lundi to Austria and later to her maternal family, the Dunants, in Switzerland.
Jeudi learns her true identity is Alicia Brendel, daughter of anti-Nazi resistance fighters Friedrich Brendel and Helene Dunant-Brendel; their activities explain the plane crash. Her grandfather, Jacques Dunant, is a relative of Red Cross founder Henry Dunant, making the family targets of arms dealer Michel Tronchant. Tronchant installed his daughter Matilda as a false Alicia to manipulate the Dunants. Jeudi's reunion is fraught: her blinded mother, Helene, manipulated by Tronchant, initially rejects her. Jeudi proves her identity by singing "Alpen Rose," a resistance song composed by Helene.
Jeudi perseveres through adversity, enduring betrayal, separation from Lundi during a train bombing, and confronting traumatic memories. She adopts disguises, cutting her hair and dressing as a boy to evade capture. Her bond with Lundi deepens from friendship to romantic commitment, culminating in marriage after the war. They build a peaceful life together and have children.
