Gogai, gogai!!! Check out our Empty Movement X @hotwaterandmilk collab!!!

The Revolutionary Girl Utena Ciao! Magazine Cover & Furoku Gallery!!!

Amazing fellow archivist @hotwaterandmilk offered a while back to rescan the Utena color covers and furoku from a truly gargantuan collection of Ciao! Magazines, so we could clean them and host them on Empty Movement!

The color covers do ALL have unobstructed copies elsewhere in the gallery, however we now see them as they were first presented, loaded with hype-inducing flavor text that really lets you know, this magazine is for the youngins! The customary furoku, a thing I didn't know existed for most of my time in this fandom, has also been rescanned, then cleaned and organized by me, and offers a variety of adorable little tidbits, like shiny Christmas stickers, a challenge book, New Years cards, and my personal favorite:

The color cover for installment 7 is the result of a contest held where fans submitted outfits for Utena to wear, with the winner's fit being translated into Chiho Saito artwork! You can see some of the other submissions, including pant legs with cuts that really serve Final Fantasy to me for some reason?? But this rules, imagine being this kid and getting your outfit made into real artwork. Incredible, heartwarming, showstopping.
