This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)
So, in real life I don't know any people who have read, or even know of this old gem of a manga, so I have the urge to see other peoples take on it. Personally I found it very well written and I loved how sex was used to portray the emotional state and desires of the characters. Anyway I just wanted to see discussion for this manga.

The Year 24 Group, in general, continue to just be a miracle of manga. So much good work. So much groundbreaking. (And, they inspired the foundations of Comiket.)
Takemiya is fantastic. I love her work, and the movie adaptation of Toward the Terra is probably my favorite anime movie of all.

I got the entire manga bundle at a great price last time I was in Tokyo but have yet to make much progress. I wish they would re-edit it in a broader format as the volumes are very small and as a result the font is very hard to decipher on occasion. Not to mention the artwork is wonderful and would look better on bigger pages.

I have always wanted to read it but at the time I was keen to, there were no scanlations and it was certainly not available in print (iirc).
