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

Influence of the indian culture in SKU
In the whole story we can see the influence of cultural elements from India, like the indian "Chu Chu - 3 wishes - idol" in the manga, or the indian curry spices, the fact that Anthy and Akio look like indians, and some clothes look like that too.
So the big topic is the why...
What do think? Do you know other similar examples? 
Utena: And someday, together we'll-
Anthy: Someday... together?
Someday together we'll shine.

One of Saito's earlier comics had an Indian romantic lead.
