| The female protagonist of Versailles no Bara pretty much pioneered the entire shoujo ai and historical shoujo genres (alongside Utena). Both series feature a strong-willed and tomboyish female protagonist grappling with a grim and chauvinistic reality. Unlike Utena though, Versailles is a strictly historical series centered around the POV of the fictional protagonist and royal commander Oscar François de Jarjayes. She doesn't bring about a revolution technically, she is begrudgingly thrust into it in this poverty-stricken France of 18th century. You won't find the symbolism you found in Utena. |
