This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

It's stuff like this that makes me wonder what Ikuhara would think if he saw this forum... school-devil

That would depend on whether or not he could read English...

I think Miki wouldn't tell anyone, maybe even if he thought Anthy was being taken advantage of.  Here's an angle that hasn't been discussed: would he go up against Akio?  His duels were about him being able to recognize what he wants and try to take it without repressing himself further.  He dueled Utena just because he thought Anthy might not be able to play if Utena said no, even though Utena seemed to be a perfectly reasonable person.

So if he thought Anthy was being taken advantage of, would he confront Akio?  He has his pride.  It's not as much of an issue for him as the rest of the student council, but he still has it and it's very present at points.  So I can't see him going to an adult for help over it.

I suppose, putting Miki's distrust of adults into consideration, he might confront Akio, but it's hard to say for sure.emot-confused
