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.
The way that After the Revolution sells itself, from the cover art to the blurb on the back, is quite different to what we eventually get. From the back and forth of story edits that apparently Chiho Saito went through, it seems to have resulted in static characters that mostly re-tread arcs they should have moved on from as teens, like the editors themselves who did not think fans wanted to see the characters change too much from what we know and love. The book has some nice imagery and story beats, but potential to be great isnt the same as being great. Overall, its a nice experiment, but not what all fans are going to be expecting for the series 20th anniversary. Read Full Review
