Revolutionary Girl Utena: The Adolescence of Utena
A manga adaptation of the 1999 film Adolescence of Utena written and illustrated by Saito was serialized from May to September 1999 in the manga magazine Bessatsu Shōjo Comic Special.[4] While the manga is not a one-to-one adaptation of the film, it broadly incorporates its major plot points;[5] Saito has commented that she regards the manga as a more direct story, while the film is more thematic and abstract.[6] As the manga was published in a special edition of Bessatsu Shōjo Comic aimed at a josei audience (older teenage girls and adult women), it maintains a more mature tone relative to the original Revolutionary Girl Utena manga and anime.[6] An English-language translation of the manga licensed by Viz Media was serialized in Animerica Extra before being published as a collected volume by Viz on November 11, 2004.[7]
