Revolutionary Girl Utena #4

In "To Bud," Utena faces a dangerous new crossroads when her growing feelings for Akio Ohtori—Anthy's brother—ignite tension with Touga and unsettle her own sense of self. With Akio's desire for Utena as his Rose Bride and his hunger for the Sword of Dios, the stakes rise as Utena must confront what she truly wants—and what she’s willing to become. Written by Chiho Saito, Shinya Hasegawa, Lillian Olsen, Fred Burke, and Be-Papas, with art and inks by Chiho Saito, and a cover by Chiho Saito and Hidemi Sahara, this 2003 Viz issue deepens the psychological and emotional layers of Utena’s journey.
