Yeah, I am kind of afraid to try the Utena manga because I don't think it can in any way live up to my love for the show! Same with Pretear, which I also thought was adorable as a show and don't really feel much need to read as a manga.

THANK YOU for the rest of these recs, though! - wait, is Kamikaze Katou Jeanne the one where she's the reincarnation of Joan of Arc? Because I have vague recollections of hearing about that and being highly intrigued!
