In commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the Shoujo Kakumei Utena (Revolutionary Girl Utena) anime series, the September 2017 issue of Shogakukan's Monthly Flowers magazine, which goes on sale on July 28, is publishing a new manga chapter by artist Chiho Saitou.

The new chapter titled Shoujo Kakumei Utena: After The Revolution is set at Ootori Academy after time has passed since the events of the original series. The magazine's current issue also includes an interview with Saitou and Utena anime director Kunihiko Ikuhara discussing behind-the-scenes stories of the anime production.

A second, unrelated new manga chapter of Shoujo Kakumei Utena will also be published in Monthly Flowers in the winter. Saitou, who is celebrating the 35th anniversary of her mangaka debut this year, will exhibit her drawings at the Sanseido book store in Ikebukuro between August 13 and 20. Monthly Flowers is currently serializing her latest work Torikae Baya.

@TheGeniusBaka It isn't. But it isn't celebrating the male power either.

edit @TheGeniusBaka The figure Utena is seeking for is the "Prince" type in all its splendor. So you have at least one male figure who isn't bad at all at the start. (I won't tell the story either, or there is no incentive to start a series ^^")

20-year anniversaries are a thing.

And yet another case in which it seems out of place and unnecessary!

No, there are plenty of good males in the series.

It has strong female characters, but it also has some blatant fanservice and other material that doesn't make it too feminist. It's certainly not pushing any sort of anti-men thing or anything.

Typically feminists have recommended it in the past with added trigger warnings. (I've seen one give a trigger warning because Utena calls a girl 'piggy legs' once xD)

Ep. 33 features Utena stomping someone balls, calling him a sexist pig, don't watch it.

Also there are gay characters, brrr!

Ooo, this is interesting.
I love Shoujo Kakumei Utena when I first watched it.
I loved the series; would like to read the manga sometime soon.

The Utena manga never did much for me despite the series being my favorite anime ever so I'm not particularly exited.
It could be interesting if Ikuhara were to direct the potential anime adaptation though.

The saddest thing about this is how anime has declined since Utena was made.

Cool, hopefully it sheds some light on all the mindfuckery that I never properly understood. I'm not sure how the manga does it in comparison to the anime, but I would imagine it's not as good. I'll probably end up reading those chapters only.

The manga is VERY different from the anime. It's been a long time since I read it, but I just remember it being very different.
