Girls can only receive rings from princes, but Utena decides that she's going to be a prince instead. The school's Student Council also seems like some sort of luxuriously exclusive mafia group with rose rings that prove their membership.
Enigmatic is a good way to describe this academy- it is never really explained why students have to do this. This is a relationship that isn’t necessarily canon, but Revolutionary Girl Utena is definitely a series with a queer cult following.Ī junior high student named Utena attends the enigmatic Ohtori Academy, a school that has a curriculum based on duels between students in order to win the hand of Anthy Himemiya, also known as the 'Rose Bride'.
