This manga is pointless.
The story takes place twenty years after Utena’s revolution, but that doesn’t really matter.
There’s hardly any insight into how the lives of the student council members have changed. All of their stories begin with them almost immediately going back to Ohtori academy or getting drawn into a vision. They each have a meaningless duel, and then they...change? Somehow? It doesn’t really matter because their stories each get cut off soon after their duels are over.
Though Utena and Anthy are on the cover of this manga, don’t expect to see much of them. The council members don’t even remember them, so they

I read this a while ago, and forgot to review it. Whoops! 😅
Personally, I'm satisfied with the story. Yes, they were still repeating a lot of the same mistakes, but that's life in general. Some people don't grow. Some regressed.
