Okkkkkkk.... I have no clue what I just read. Really, no clue. It was quite good, hence the 4 stars, but it was also oh so confusing and weird. Sex with a ghost/memory (though it was also beautiful and sad)? Drugging someone to have sex with them (whut)? No one caring that Utena suddenly has long hair all of the sudden. The duels. The way the story was told, it just jumped around a bit too much for me.The ending was good though, I am really happy as I was shipping this couple as well. It is a nice new story (I liked what the mangaka did to the normal Utena story and made it new), nice idea, but I feel that it could have been worked out better. I am not going to write a longer review as I have no clue what to write. :P

A good ending, but also not. So this is it? All that happened, all that pain, that big battle, and it ends with this? Will we ever know if x is still found? It was quite interesting that Touga remembered. I can understand Anthy, because well.... but that Touga remembers must truly mean he loved her. That he truly cared about her. That he truly was hoping for them to be together. Which is quite sweet (and yes, I was shipping them like crazy). The battle was wonderful though, quite exciting, not too long and not too short. It felt like the perfect length. It was a sad solution that brought the end to the battle, but it had to be done. I don't think there was any way for this to go differently. It was this or worse consequences.The side stories, we have two as the main story is only 60~ pages. The first one is about Juri. I don't quite like the girl, but we see a whole new side to her + some additions to the side we always see. It gave more depth, and I respected the girl a bit more. I didn't like Ruka the entire story until the end and the revelation there. Men, please, just tell your feelings honestly. :|The second side story was a bit confusing, suddenly there is someone with a black rose seal? A guy with a feeling of anger at never ageing, having to atone for what he has done. And I guess waiting for Utena to come by, just like so many other characters seemingly waited for Utena to show up. I feel this story should have been fleshed out a bit more, now it just came out of nowhere. The ending was OK, though it was quite sad. I would highly recommend this series to everyone. Even with the ending as it is, the story is engaging, the characters are great, the art is beautiful, and there is so much more that I loved.So this series ends. Tomorrow I got the Adolescence to read, kind of curious what they have done in that manga and what changes there are in that one.Review first posted at https://twirlingbookprincess.com/

Series Description: After young Utena's parents die, she wanders the streets. Just as she's about to drown herself, a prince comes to her rescue, telling her she must grow up to be a brave noblewoman. From that day on, she strives to become not a princess but a prince, and to find the man who saved her. Years later, she receives a mysterious rose-crested ring in the mail. Is this the key to her future? Still searching for the elusive prince who saved her life as a young girl, Utena faces her toughest challenge yet: the romantic overtures of Akio Ohtori. Can she trust the handsome but rakish older man? And if so, will he able to help her ascend to the Castle in the Sky? After a night of passion, Utena hopes the power of love will change her destiny. But is she ready to participate in the Consummation Ceremony?

For being listed as a classic, this manga is not what I'd call fine literature. At this point I'm mostly reading just to watch Utena kick the asses of all the creepy assholes surprise kissing her and/or physically abusing her friend Anshi. Wouldn't hurt to see all of the crazy misogynistic side characters dig their heads out of their asses and stop defending the borderline rapists straight-up stalking them, either. Seriously. This book makes me embarrassed to be a manga fan. I was all here for Utena throwing gender roles out the window and being the prince of her own story, but this bullshit is too much.

The last volume for today! I would love to just race through this series, but I know I will regret that. :P But this series is just too fabulous, too fun, too wonderful. In this one we find out a little more about the World's End (though I still want to know more, especially now THAT happened near the end of the volume), about Dios (who may just be Utena's prince o.0), about Anthy. Though I am only disliking Anthy more and more with each volume. I loved her in the first one, I was worried about her, I wanted her to have a good life, but with volume 2 and 3... eh. With what she did at the end of volume 3 especially I just wanted to shake her good and well and see if maybe that would bring some sense into her. But I am still curious about her as well. We meet yet another character and I didn't trust him from the start. The way he picked up Utena (in believe she was his sister).... no. Just no.I am also still going with the whole they are 15-17 and not 13-16 thing. Because there are some scenes in here which are just a bit too creepy if you take in account that Utena is 13 officially. I am still not sure what to think of Touga though. He seems to have no real bad intentions and he seems genuinely interested in Utena. He may just want to change his techniques for getting her to accept him though. :PThe art is still fabulous and I am just amazed at the amount of details! The side-stories were pretty fun to read, a real change from the normal stories. I thought it was quite fun that they were mostly from the monkey's POV. Review first posted at https://twirlingbookprincess.com/

The premise is deceptively simple and decidedly shoujo - A young girl, distraught by the death of her parents is kissed by a traveling prince and given a ring, told that if she never loses that noble heart of hers it may one day lead her to him. So impressed is she by him, that the little girl vows to become a prince herself one day.But is that really such a good idea?Before I continue on with this review (and for the sake of convenience and in regard to this manga's rather short five volume length, I'll be reviewing it as a whole) I feel a bit of background is necessary, for the reader's experience with Chiho Saito's Shoujo Kakumei Utena (Revolutionary Girl Utena) will differ greatly depending on whether or not you've had the pleasure of seeing the animated series - additionally and heavily influenced by Director Kunihiko Ikuhara and the brilliant minds of the BePapas team (including Yoji Enokido, a brilliant screenwriter). I have seen the entirety of the 39 episode anime series and the movie, Adolescence of Utena. In fact, its the anime I hold dearest to my heart and has had an incredible influence on my life and personal philosophy. This manga was developed alongside the series, and there is a lot of speculation concerning just how much influence Chiho had on both it and the series, how her ideas and talent where utilized, whether or not Chiho was kept in the dark on certain issues, and just what purpose the manga had -was it meant to be a separate continuity, or simply a running test before the animated series debuted?Having said that, this is one of the biggest cases of reverse adaptation-deterioration I've seen (meaning that that anime is leagues better), which I guess isn't completely fair to say for a number of reasons. The first being that this was written alongside the creation of the series, making it neither the original nor the re-telling. It's also unfair to expect a manga of this length to encompass the incredible amount of literal and figurative content expressed in the animated series. We're talking about a show that explored and subverted and referenced numerous philosophies, religions, fairy tales, archetypes, gender stereotypes and shoujo cliches to create a disturbingly moving and human story about self-revelation, the difference between dreams and reality, what adulthood and love is and is not, and redemption and saving oneself. So, on one hand I can understand and to a degree forgive this manga for its watered down and over simplified version of the characters and plot. For half the cast, beloved for their multifaceted personalities and depth in the series being represented by pale caricatures of themselves. For the removal of the Black Rose Arc (save one small bonus chapter). What I have a harder time forgiving is how much Saito seems not to get it. All the same tired shoujo cliches and romantic cheese found in the series can be found here, but sans any of the irony or subversion (granted, irony can be a lot harder to pull off in printed medium without going too over the top). It's like Saito watched the show and took it at face value. I also raise a bit of an eyebrow at some of the pointless changes Saito makes -whether they be for the sake of making a more commercially accessible product or for more troubling reasons- such as re-writing Juri's sexuality from lesbian to straight. You know. That little facet of Juri's character from which nearly the ENTIRETY of her story and development is rooted? She merely ignores the romantic subtext between the two most pivotal characters, Utena and Anthy, and the story suffers little for it, but this is a huge and entirely unnecessary edit. Saito went out of her way to establish Juri as a straight woman. For the sake of my sanity, I'll just assume something got lost in translation, as her and Ikuhara did seem to have communication issues during production, and its been said he is difficult to work with.Other than that, while the art and pacing is good, elements of Saito's storytelling and her art suffer tiny, awkward hiccups here and there, mostly in the form of weird postures and angles. The prologue is also fairly drawn out and boring without adding much of anything to the story other than that, hey, Utena has a an aunt and her prince likes to lick her face. Seriously. I don't know if that's how it's truly written or it's a mistranslation, but either way "Prince Licky-Licky" and oh god, yes, that is a quote, needs to not exist.Still, it's hard to go wrong with a story as intrinsically powerful as Utena's. Chiho Saito has her moments where the beauty and the gravity of the series is matched beat for beat or even exceeded and the ending is just as uplifting. Those sparse though memorable moments of storytelling genius make this manga worth picking up, even if only to whet one's appetite to see the series. You just have to slog through a lot of trite, poorly written moments to get to them.
