mehsi's review against another edition
5.0
The last volume for today! I would love to just race through this series, but I know I will regret that. :P But this series is just too fabulous, too fun, too wonderful.
In this one we find out a little more about the World's End (though I still want to know more, especially now THAT happened near the end of the volume), about Dios (who may just be Utena's prince o.0), about Anthy. Though I am only disliking Anthy more and more with each volume. I loved her in the first one, I was worried about her, I wanted her to have a good life, but with volume 2 and 3... eh. With what she did at the end of volume 3 especially I just wanted to shake her good and well and see if maybe that would bring some sense into her. But I am still curious about her as well.
We meet yet another character and I didn't trust him from the start. The way he picked up Utena (in believe she was his sister).... no. Just no.
I am also still going with the whole they are 15-17 and not 13-16 thing. Because there are some scenes in here which are just a bit too creepy if you take in account that Utena is 13 officially.
I am still not sure what to think of Touga though. He seems to have no real bad intentions and he seems genuinely interested in Utena. He may just want to change his techniques for getting her to accept him though. :P
The art is still fabulous and I am just amazed at the amount of details!
The side-stories were pretty fun to read, a real change from the normal stories. I thought it was quite fun that they were mostly from the monkey's POV.

There are too much wrong things, starting with this sort of a harem around Utena. Sorry, I can’t stand it plus almost every man around Utena acts as if she is the only one girl in the universe that they have ever seen and without asking her permission says and does things so lightly!
Also, the relationship between the siblings are weird and the plot is nothing extraordinary.
The only thing that keeps my attention is something about the plot, Dios and the duels maybe.

Utena and Anthy working their way into my heart from page one.

The amount of face slapping in this series is a little over the top.

Things start to pick up in this volume, with lots of manipulation and mysteries added on to mysteries. We're starting to see some emotional depth in the characters, and the plot is definitely heating up.
