Synopsis

Five years have passed since Utena's parents died. She doesn't dwell on the loss, though—instead, she's held onto memories of a mysterious prince who showed up when she needed him most. He even licked her tears away (earning the nickname "Peropero-kun" in the process), gave her a ring, and promised it would lead her back to him someday. True to his word, Peropero-kun sends Utena a letter every year around cherry blossom season. Her best friend Kaidou is skeptical that some random nobleman is behind this, so he digs through the letters looking for proof that Utena's aunt is actually the one writing them. Instead, he finds six photos that fit together like puzzle pieces—evidence that Peropero-kun is real and currently at Ohtori Academy, a prestigious school. Desperate to find her prince again, Utena decides to leave everything behind and enroll at Ohtori. Once she arrives, she quickly runs into the school's student council and notices they're treating one of their own members, Anthy Himemiya, pretty strangely. As Utena starts poking around to figure out what's really going on, she uncovers a whole web of secrets—and maybe, just maybe, they'll lead her to the prince she's been searching for all this time.
