Utena gains entry to the Ohtori Academy's inner circle — the sword-fighting student council. Destiny seems to have brought her together with council leader Touga, but is she merely a pawn in his... This description may be from another edition of this product.
If you watch the anime and read the manga for this series you might be somewhat lost and notice that there are some things that never leave the manga and some that were never in the manga. Either way its a good read and will have you falling in love with the character that you love, more, and hating the characters you hate, a bit more!
All Hail Utena!!

Great plot, beautiful artwork, a fun romantic/action/comedy shoujo series end of story. Most people ignore reading Utena because of the rumors about all the characters being ghey but if you're homophobic you'll still love this manga most likely the same
Plot twists, and cinnamon kisses

We join Ohtori academy at the cliffhanger of the ball. IS UTENA GOING TO DIE AT THE HANDS OF SAIONJI? Well, like all main characters she is saved (what kind of show would that be if she died?). In the book we get a more in-depth analysis of Student council tresurer Juri Arisugawa and student council secratary Miki Karou. We see love triangles, big brother complexes, and hint of Anthy Himemiya's private life. But don't forget the duels and a hint of comic relief in To Curry Favor (CHU CHU!) The artwork in here is beautiful and the plot twist compliments the dramatic artwork. If any manga is worth buying it's this one Revolutionary Girl Utena( by Chiho Saito).
Chiho Saitou is a genius...

...the continuation of the storyline since To Till (along with the added bonus of the curry story) all make this a wonderful book to add to any manga lover's collection. It definately shows a side of Touga and Juri that most people most likely didn't expect to see but which I find definately adds flavor to the story. From the artwork to the careful detailing of the story, Chiho Saitou does an excellent job of getting readers (even those who have already seen/read what happens) hooked and dying for To Sprout to be released. Excellent, excellent book...I'd recommend it as a must-have.
