All attention turns to Utena Tenjou, a mysterious newcomer at Ohtori Academy. Yet Utena"s gaze is fixed on one familiar face that rises above the crowd—Touga Kiryuu, her childhood companion. Touga is aware of Utena"s history and holds insight into the Mark of the Rose, a collection of distinctive rings worn by those who vie for the hand of the Rose Bride. The Rose Bride, Himemiya Anthy, is awarded to whoever prevails in a duel, and the victor of every contest is rumored to possess the ability to ignite change across the world. Utena becomes entangled in these battles, but Touga and their tangled past may unravel everything. Nothing is as it appears in this reinterpretation of the original anime in a world of shifting alliances, secrets quietly unravel beneath.
