13-year-old ballet student Ahiru is clumsy, good-hearted and sweet... and has a big secret.

Princess Tutu is a very nice manga. It's cute, it's got nice characters, and it's got a good plotline.

The story was completely slaughtered and made into a childish, cheesy mess (instead of dancing with people, Tutu dances/battles such adversaries as giant fish and teddy bears. Sadly I am not kidding). Key characters from the anime such as Drosselmyer, never ...
