Story Summary
The story of a girl, Utena, who wants to find the prince that saved her life as a child. She decides to be brave and noble, just like her prince, but when attending the strange Ohtori Academy, she gets mixed up in a fierce dueling game to win the hand of the Rose Bride, Anthy. When Utena wins the duel and possesses Anthy, she wants only to be her friend and to somehow release her from the cruel dueling game. But will being mixed up in all these games help Utena to find her prince?

My Opinion
A wonderful story full of interesting characters. The manga series has many differences from the anime series, and is definitely worth a read for any fan of the Utena anime.
