Chiho Saito's 1998 covers for the two Revolutionary Girl #Utena novels written by Witch from Mercury writer Ichirō Ōkouchi, 'Twin Saplings,' and 'Verdant Hopes.'

Saito's commentary on them, roughly: Twin Saplings: "Utena's dignified in this picture, isn't it?" Verdant Hopes: "I rarely get to draw Anthy princess-like. Cute..."

Both of these novels have been translated, and are hosted in multiple formats on Empty Movement! I encourage you to check them out if you're a Witch from Mercury fan, and want a glimpse into his earlier work and the show he drew so so much inspiration from!
