About the series
In the early 2000s, Viz Media brought the surreal, dueling world of Revolutionary Girl Utena to American comics, adapting Chiho Saito's original manga and the anime's story into a five-issue series. Scripted by Be-Papas, Saito, and Fred Burke, with Saito's signature elegant art throughout, this edition condensed the saga of Utena Tenjou's quest to win the Rose Bride and revolutionize the world. It stands as a key artifact of the shojo-infused, symbol-laden storytelling that defined the late-'90s anime boom for English readers.
