Revolutionary Girl Utena: After the Revolution

Today's manga post is on Revolutionary Girl Utena: After the Revolution by Chiho Saitō. It is 200 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. As this takes place after the end of the series, you need to have read the original Revolutionary Girl Utena series to understand the story. The cover has Utena and Anthy on it. The intended reader is someone who has the original series and wants to see what happened to the other characters. There is mild foul language, sexuality, and mild violence in this manga. The story is told from third person close of the different characters one per story. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the manga- Three short stories set after Utena’s revolution.
Utena has saved Anthy by defeating Akio in the final duel, but in doing so she has vanished from the world. Now the student council members at Ohtori Academy find themselves in their own revolutions.

Review- Utena and Anthy have been freed from World's End, but what about the other duelist? This volume is about what happens to them and how they find their own revolutions. Utena visits them all to help them remember what they were fighting for. The stories take place at different times, some close of the end of the manga and others more than 20 years after. World's End is still influencing the duelist but they don't know how to fight it. So Utena once again must become a prince to save them. This was a good  wrap up to the overall series and a good send off for the secondary characters. 

I give this manga a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
