Maria Watches Over Us ~ printemps

As spring arrives and the new school term begins, Yumi recalls with fondness the New Years’ party thrown by the Yamayuri Council.

Eriko, the Rosa Foetida, has been seen on multiple outings with several different men, but there is more to the situation than Tsutako’s photographs suggest.

The boutons forgot to prepare the customary going-away party for the graduating Lady Roses! While they scramble to prepare their sendoff, Yumi faces a crisis of her own…

As the school term draws ever closer to its end, the graduating Lady Roses leave parting words for the boutons and their petite soeurs.

Graduation day has arrived at last. Sachiko is set to speak at the ceremony, but with emotions running high, will she be able to retain her composure?

Shimako and Sei met beneath the falling cherry blossoms. Neither knew it at the time, but this chance encounter would change the course of their lives forever.

Upon Sei’s graduation, Shimako lost her only confidante. Could meeting a new friend named Noriko Nijyo relieve her suffering?

Shimako has revealed her secret to Noriko, but if Toko and the Lady Roses get their way, Shimako will divulge it to the entire school at the Maria Festival!

It is time to welcome the Rosa Gigantea en bouton to the Rose Mansion — but to Shimako, it isn’t as simple as merely handing over her rosary to Noriko.

Yoshino has been feeling much better since her operation. Rei, however, isn’t feeling so good about Yoshino’s desire to join the kendo club.

Toko and Sachiko have been spending a lot of time together, and Yumi can’t help but assume the worst: Has Sachiko grown tired of having Yumi as her petite soeur?

With the help of friends both old and new, Yumi learns to stand on her own two feet.

The truth behind Sachiko’s behavior comes as a shock to Yumi, but will her newfound strength be enough to mend the rift between them?
