it's interesting how Rose of Versailles makes the aesthetics of the monarchy and the revolution fit together in a coherent whole. IRL the revolutionaries didn't like the rococo stuff, but Ikeda has made it so that the rococo aesthetics have transformed to symbolize the intensity of revolution itself.

It's very rare that being so invested in a character's personality that you want to imagine them in a relationship is a bad thing that makes it harder to appreciate the work
