A lot of nostalgia in reading this. It deviates from the show a bit, but the movie deviated from the show as well so I don't really care. I'm curious to see how different it will be. Part of the fun of ウテナ is just how off the wall it can get at times.

Basic plot: A girl is saved by a prince as a child after she loses both of her parents, and growing up she both:

a) wants to meet her 初恋 prince

b) wants to be a prince

I'm leery of saying more than that as explaining further would ruin some of the fun of the first volume. Just know that there is magic, dueling, and gorgeous artwork.

Difficulty wise there is full furigana, the sentences are largely short and straight forward, and there is LOTS of repetition for the less common words used.
