Much as I love Utena, I wouldn't be into another animation if it's just going to be more faithful to the manga.

...yes. The manga's ending was very disappointing, just for example. In my headcanon it is a fan AU I dislike.

I never read the manga, what happens? Is it really that bad.

I haven't read all of it, just bits. Like the ending, because I heard it was different. No, that's all. No.

spoilers ofc

Everything... turns out alright. Utena and Anthy are platonic life partners basically, pretty sure it hinted at a possible Utena/Touga future.

It's not necessarily bad, but it would be so if you're looking for something that's faithful to the series. Generally, fans who watched the anime first don't like the manga due to the differences (big eg: Juri takes some of Nanami's role, as well as is in love with Touga. Who is more of a typical shoujo prince type). Also, Akio/Dios is interpreted different in this, but there is still the deconstruction going on.

If you account for the fact that these were two projects that were made alongside eachother, but not with, think of it as two different authors giving their take on a prompt. Imo, even if it's not my favourite and haven't read it since I was a teen, I think it's still worth a read.

I hate the manga. I feel that all the psychology, symbolism, and commentary on desire are removed, leaving nothing but the part where the characters make really obnoxious decisions.

I don't know what to do with genuine!Touga. An actual romance between him and Utena would be so weird.
