The Power of Revolution! by utena11221

This is a tribute to one of my all time favorite characters, Utena Tenjou, protagonist of the Manga and Anime 'Revolutionary Girl Utena'. I noticed I never made a good looking Utena picture, so I brought my manga out, and drew Utena from the cover of volume 1 by sight :D I tried to stick to Chiho Saito's style for this aswell ^^ I'm really happy with how it came out!

Beautiful! I hear it is good yet...she wants to be a hero to this one female she loves yet...she wants to be the type of distress for a man? confusing. I guess that is why I wont watch it. I am not too hardcore with yuri even though I am a l.esbian. Isnt that F-up? Guess my drive got used up at 13-15 by internet fetish...plus I get worried I will not feel a spark in bed. .... *akward silence* ...ignore all that. Love this piece.

RGU is very complex and has many undetones, symbolism, ect. Utena, in both Manga and Anime (minus the abomination that is the movie), she had a near death experiance after her parents died, and was miraculously saved by a man dressed like a prince. Now, he 'licked' her tears way, and gave her a ring telling her to 'never lose your nobility'.
Since that day, Utena vowed to become a noble prince like the one who saved her. Years later she attends Ohtori Academy in search of him, because of letters she recived.
Utena really isn't a lesb!an persay, but just acting as a prince. And also doing, and staying noble. Only in the movie and the manga does Utena and Anthey ever kiss; the manga had it forced by Utena's male love interest, who is also the antagonist, and Utena's reaction spoke volumes. She loves Anthy as a sister, close friend, not a lover. Heck, in the anime she has [s]ex with the antagonist(Anthy's brother).
You should give it a chance, artwork is stunning. Simply beautiful. If the anime has too much Yuri for you, try the manga; 5 volumes of Awesome and only a single light yuri scene at the end :D
I hope I made sense Black Dog xD

Bolin: Thank you, but no. I do not give stars to beggars.
Lib: I KNOW!! I feel the same way :D

OMG, UTENA! YOU LIKE UTENA!?!? I NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED!

Hmm... *thinks* Kind of creeps me out with a kiss. Depending how a relationship in anime goes I am ok with it. Like watching girls bravo with the crazy agent who loves Kiriei. That seemed comical for me and not too serious.

Ferns: I KNOW RIGHT?! IT'S SO SHOCKING; I'M JUST FULL OF SURPRISES!

Dog: Well, since Utena and Anthy are engaged they got 'married' in the manga... But it was a trap... and Utena is forced into it since the Anagonist/love interest convinced her into doing so. It was just a peck lol
In the Anime, there is no kiss. The only heavy yuri is a side story for one of the duelsts. They only show Utena and Anthys deep bond of (imo) platonic love. There are some incestous implications with another duelest and his little sister, and Anthy and her Brother (which is really sad since Anthy is forced).
People describe RGU as the Shoujo verson of Evangelion since they both are, and I qoute, ''A mind F--ck''. lol

.... I wouldn't know, I'm straight... x3

lol Beauty Pop! sounds familiar.... I think I might have read acouple volumes back in middle school?
I've read so much manga, I have a whole book shelf filled with them. I own, like, 10 different series' -w- I enjoy reading.
The Last volume of Utena I'm trying to find, it's just so hard... It's like, nowhere (since I last checked).
lol poor manga, packed away and ignored xDD

Oh really? I see. I usually go to Barns&Nobles for Manga reading/looking. As for YA books, I never had anyone give recomendations so I've only read afew x3
Pucca-chan: Oh yes, the art in both anime and Manga is gorgeous, so much better than this lol
