Revolutionary Girl Utena #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the first part of Chiho Saito's shojo manga series, adapted from the anime. It introduces Utena Tenjou, a tomboyish girl who enrolls at Ohtori Academy and is drawn into a series of duels for the hand of the mysterious Rose Bride, Anthy Himemiya. The story blends coming-of-age themes with surreal, symbolic imagery and a subversive take on fairy-tale romance tropes.
In the mysterious halls of Ohtori Academy, a bold new student named Utena steps in to protect a quiet classmate, Anthy, from an unsettling figure—only to find herself drawn into a hidden world of duels and secrets. As the elite Student Council's tournament unfolds, Utena learns that the true prize isn't just power, but something far more dangerous: the chance to "revolutionize the world." Written by Chiho Saito, Lillian Olsen, Fred Burke, and Be-Papas, with art by Chiho Saito and inks by Steve Dutro, this Prologue sets a haunting, surreal tone. The cover, a striking collaboration by Chiho Saito and Hidemi Sahara, captures the story’s dreamlike intensity.
In the quietly surreal world of *Revolutionary Girl Utena*, Jo—once a girl who dreamed of being a prince—finds her path shifting when she’s expelled for wearing a boy’s uniform. Drawn by a mysterious invitation, she arrives at Ohtori Private Academy, a place where the past and present blur, and the man who once saved her life may still be waiting.
In the cloistered halls of Ohtori Academy, Utena’s sudden act of defiance sets off a chain of events she doesn’t understand—when she tries to save a quiet student named Anthy from an abusive companion, she’s pulled into a hidden world of duels and power, where the elite student council competes for control of Anthy and the mysterious promise of revolution.
