Young Jun comes home from school to find a package waiting for him. He opens it, and although he is no enthusiast, he finds the most well crafted antique style doll he has ever seen. It's when he winds up its key, however, that everything begins. Destructive sister dolls start their own little drama, flying in and out of his poor, repeatedly broken window, a weepy sister doll comes crying for help, a crazy disembodied, a crazy sister doll comes body snatching... it's all a little much for Jun, but he is an affirmative action kind of guy, and he's not the type to ignore people who need his help, so he dives in

EP2 - How To Make a Girl
University aged Jun Sakurada is now miserable, living alone in a studio apartment and working in a bookstore for a lazy, hateful manager. One day, he is instructed to throw out a box of magazines to find the first issue in a How to Make Girls series that come with one part of a doll per issue. At first, Jun is repulsed by what he sees in the magazine, but something makes him take one home.

EP3 - Crimson Awakening
Communication has been cut off between Jun and the scam artist claiming to be his younger self, the more positive version of himself who chose to wind the turn key. University-aged Jun finds himself alone with all the doll parts he has completed, perplexed as to how to proceed now that the publication has gone out of print in mid-run. He finds his unhappy and disatisfying young life has been turned upside-down by the unexpected desire to create something, for the first time in a very long time. Once upon a time, a very long time ago, a supportive teacher accidentally made his life into a living hell, because other children can be very jealous and inexplicably cruel. His younger, and naively optimistic, self finally re-establishes contact and sets university-aged Jun back on the path to completing Rozen Maiden doll No.5, Shinku, but there is yet another trial in store.

EP5 - Black Winged Angel
Megu is a sick girl whose mind has also become as unhealthy as her body. She entertains romantic ideas about death and dying, desperate for attention from her busy father. The mischievous little doll with black wings, Suigintou, thinks she has found an easy mark to drain, but despite her openly evil nature, she finds the human girl's willingness to die unnerving. In the meantime, Jun receives another book in the mail. He is actually excited to find out what doll he can make next despite already dealing with the prissy and demanding Shinku, but she orders him under no uncertain terms not to open his new book.

Hoping to effect real change to his world, Jun is hard at work on the 'new doll' every night after Shinku retires to her case.

He receives a chance phone call from his fussy big sister when he most needs it, and Shinku also gives him some attention.
