Utena has it all. Beauty. Passion. Faith. A sense of justice. She is the idol of her classmates at the exclusive Ohtori Academy. And yet, she is driven by a childhood memory of a prince on a white horse who comforted her when she was grieving over her parents\' death, and who gave her an enigmatic signet ring emblazoned with a rose crest. This memory drives Utena to do the impossible: to become a prince herself, as she duels the members of the Student Council to protect the mysterious \"Rose Bride.\" She came to the Ohtori Academy in pursuit of the mysterious prince from her past, not to fight for possession of the Rose Bride. The problem is that the Rose Bride - Anthy - is more than just a prize - she\'s Utena\'s friend. But the president of the Student Council is also a duelist, and he may be Utena?s long-lost prince as well. Can Utena fight the man she?s loved since childhood? If she doesn\'t, her best friend will lose her freedom!
