I never watched the anime growing up but I decided to give them manga a go. I think I would prefer this in anime for but I'm curious to see how the plot goes
This manga is excellent. Admittedly, I'm not exactly unbiased -- the anime made a profound impression on me when I watched (and rewatched, and rewatched...) it, and this first volume is similar enough to really bring that back as well. There are some differences, of course, and I understand that there are more as the series continues, but it's still a very powerful story of nobility and friendship and growing up, and it's really killing me that my budget won't let me just run out and complete the set of this now.
This is arguably the least gay iteration of the series; there's Utena and Anthy of course, and Wakaba still openly clings to Utena (and plenty of other girls swoon over her too) but Utena's feelings for her prince are portrayed as romantic here and Juri is straight instead of her classic tragic lesbian anime self.
Still enjoyable, just saying I vastly prefer the anime iteration.
