Mistress Utena!

Good morning!

Morning!

She's so cool!

OHTORI ACADEMY

For Whom the Rose Smiles

Morning!

Morning!

Someone tacked somebody's love letter on the board.

Okay, what've we got here?

"And so, I dance with you in my dreams, dear Saionji."

Morning, Wakaba!

Don't usually see you reading much.

What's the book? Huh?

Always.

She's always loved this guy.

But, after she's rejected...

...the next day she recovers, another man appears...

...and the heroine ends up with him.

When I read this before,

I thought it was the lamest, stupidest book.

Now I read it and I think it's the greatest thing ever!

You're definitely the only one for me!

Utena! Utena! Utena, my love!

I belong to you...

Um, Wakaba, please, enough with the "You're the only one for me" stuff.

Why?

Good morning.

If it cannot break its egg's shell, a chick will die without being born.

We are the chick.

The world is our egg.

If we don't crack the world's shell, we will die without being born.

Smash the world's shell!

For the revolution of the world!

Have you received your letters from End of the World?

Yes.

I received mine.

We all receive letters from him...

...and then proceed according to the instructions within.

As it is written in this letter, Saionji failed yesterday...

...and the Rose Bride was engaged to the girl who won the duel.

Is someone who doesn't belong to the student council...

...receiving letters from End of the World?

Who knows?

But she wears the Rose Seal. I saw it with my own eyes.

And who is this girl?

Utena Tenjou.

She's rather well known in the middle school.

Very popular.

Such a regal and lovely young girl...

Now, hold on!

Someone we've never heard of just joins the duels?

If this happens again...

If it happens, what will you do?

Drop out of the game?

Our letters are one-way messages from End of the World.

And we are free to follow them as we see fit.

When we opened the door to the arena with these Rose Seals...

...the phantom castle appeared, just as the letters said it would.

I know.

Just seeing that proved that I can't drop out of this now.

Quite. The letters from End of the World are specific.

The one who wins the Rose Bride in the duels and is engaged to her...

...will finally enter the castle...

...and gain the power to bring revolution to the world.

And that is why we must fight.

To think that best friends like us got assigned separate rooms!

God can be so cruel!

Can't help it.

The student council decides these things.

Besides, getting a single is perfect for a cool gal like me.

But the east dorm hasn't been used for 10 years!

Bet you'll have a heck of a time cleaning it up!

10 years...?

Well, I'll bet cleaning it by yourself...

...will be perfect work for the cool gal Utena.

Anyway, my room's in the south dorm, third floor.

Come by and visit if you get sick of living in your haunted house.

See ya!

Hmm... A haunted house...

What's the deal? It's a pretty building.

Sheesh.

Wakaba must've been pulling my leg.

Hello!

I'm Utena Tenjou.

Nobody home?

Don't tell me I'm the only one in here!

Let's see... Second floor, inner room...

10 years, huh?

It's possible.

Okay!

I'm sorry, Mistress Utena.

I'll be finished soon.

What are you doing here?

We'll be living together from now on.

How do you do?

How do you do?

But, this is a single...

UTENA TENJOU ANTHY HIMEMIYA

...isn't it?

Funny coincidence, huh? Us two being roommates.

You've really cleaned this place up.

Sorry you had to do it yourself.

I wanted to get it done by nightfall.

But they only just announced the dorm assignments, right?

Our getting the same room isn't just a coincidence.

It's the Code of the Rose Seal.

It's because I'm the Rose Bride.

Bride?

I must be engaged to whomever wins a duel.

Are you sure about this?

All right, first question...

What's with the mirage castle and the trick sword?

Mysteries.

Mysteries? You mean you don't know what they are, either?!

If you don't know, then why do you do that?

Why do you always dress like a boy, Mistress Utena?

What, this? Well... Because I like to.

That's my answer.

Is our being here a problem for you?

I can't really say that, but...

Wait, "our"...? Huh?

Let me introduce you.

This is my friend, Chu-Chu.

Your pet?

My friend.

Uh-oh!

Here you go.

How do you do, Chu-Chu?

I'm Utena Tenjou.

Will you be my friend, too?

I've never seen Chu-Chu take to someone so well, Mistress Utena.

Look, can you cut it out with the "Mistress" Utena, please?

But I'm engaged to you, Mistress Utena.

That again...

That Saionji guy was wearing a ring just like this one.

Do you know what this thing is?

All the members of the student council wear them.

It's a Rose Seal.

Whomever wears that ring is marked as a Duelist.

So, now that you're the current dueling champion...

...the others who wear the Rose Seal...

...will come to challenge you to duels.

You've gotta be kidding!

I've no intention of fighting these meaningless duels!

Oh, it's you, Mr. President.

Am I disturbing you, Mr. Vice President?

No, you're generally welcome into my domain.

Is the Kendo team captain going to fight the middle school girl again?

Of course.

The power to bring the world revolution belongs to me.

That girl's engagement to the Rose Bride is a mistake.

That's just how it is.

That girl... Anthy Himemiya...

...is engaged to the winner of the duel.

You're wrong!

She belongs to me.

She's to do as I command, forever.

That's what's written in my exchange diary.

You keep an exchange diary?

Great... Are me and that girl really the only ones in this dorm?

Is this another part of that Code of the Rose Seal?

Chu-Chu, can you tell her to hurry up?

Otherwise this big feast is going to be a one-girl dinner.

Why, Anthy?! Why won't you do as I say?!

I'm sorry, Saioniji.

I'm engaged to Mistress Utena now.

But didn't you devote yourself to me completely when we were engaged?

Yes, but that's the past.

Our engagement is over.

Please forget about me.

You shameless...!

You're a total disgrace!

No, YOU are!

You again... Good timing.

I lost the duel because I let my guard down.

Why don't we settle once and for all...

...who shall possess the Rose Bride?

I want a return match in the arena tomorrow, after class.

Ridiculous!

I refuse to fight another meaningless duel!

I fought you yesterday because of Wakaba!

For my friend!

I don't care about this Rose Bride stuff!

That may be, but I do!

If you get engaged to the Rose Bride as a Duelist...

...then you must have no objections!

Those who oppose the student council vanish from this academy!

The school's regulations are quite specific.

All right, 1 accept your challenge!

See you after class tomorrow, in the arena!

Didn't you say you weren't going to fight any more duels?

No choice. If I don't fight him, I'll get kicked out of here.

Well, I'll just purposely lose, so there's no problem.

Of course. Do as you please.

I wonder, I wonder, do you know what I wonder?

There's going to be another duel in the forest behind the school!

It's time we settled this.

You got me!

But I'm okay.

I lost intentionally.

But, brave hero...

Losing may be harder than you think.

Do you know that I wonder?

I wonder, I wonder, do you know that I wonder?

You didn't purposely lose?

I didn't do it for you.

I did it for Chu-Chu.

If you went with Saionji, he'd just tease Chu-Chu.
