The Revolutionary utena Phenominon Chiho Saito has drawn shojo (girls') comics for two decades, but when she teamed up with anime director Kunihiko Ikuhara (Sailor Moon) and a group of talented creators for Ikuhara's new project, it ignited a firestorm of creative and imaginitive storytelling from which anime and manga has yet to recover. Now see the story that started the ball rolling! To Rescue The Fair Prince-To-Be One day, a little girl learns that her parents have died. The grade-school-age girl wanders the rain-soaked streets of her hometown with no distinct purpose. Drenched in rainwater and tears, she finds herself by a river and throws herself in. Suddenly a man appears-her prince-and he rescues her, banishes her tears, and tells her to grow up strong and noble. From then on she strives to grow up to be a prince just like him!
