Yeah, this is just basically Utena in France.

Wouldn't that just be Rose of Versailles?

Rose of Versailles, if it was a horror series.

and apparently if he has sex with her he will be able to obtain special powers.


That sounds like a hentai manga to me. The fact that the original title was "The World of S&M" doesn't help.

I have to admit I saw this title in a comic shop and was intrigued, since I consider Utena (albeit, the anime series more than the manga) one of the greatest titles of all time, and I wasn't aware that Be-Papas and Chiho Saito had collaborated on anything else. I lost interest after flipping through it, though, and the art style doesn't appeal to me as much as it did 5 years ago. If the strong story isn't there, I don't think I have much reason to pick this up. Not when I still haven't read Ode to Kirihito, anyway.

I personally rather liked The World Exists for Me, although much more the second volume than the first. The first was just confusing, whereas the second seems to start truly setting up the plot. Unfortunately, I can't find any evidence of a 3rd volume...more than a bit frustrating.

I'm really glad that I'm not the only one that thought of the Utena-semblance.
