About this deal

a b Hodgkins, Crystalyn (6 December 2020). "Aya Kanno Launches Requiem of the Rose King Spinoff Manga With Artist Kineko Abekawa". Anime News Network . Retrieved 27 December 2020. I don’t know if it’s just me or if Kanno has finally reached a flow with this series, but this volume was really good for me. The Duke of York has seized the capital and the throne, but he must still overcome Queen Margaret's army if he hopes to be crowned king. Richard, imprisoned in the Tower of London, can only speculate about the fortunes of war. Asselin, Janelle (2015-04-03). "Gender & Shakespeare in Aya Kanno's Requiem of the Rose King". Comics Alliance. คลังข้อมูลเก่าเก็บจาก แหล่งเดิมเมื่อ 2016-04-22. The characters are very well-developed, each with their own positive and negative personalities. This manga truly shows how not everyone is 'perfect'. The main character himself has a lot of burden and worries, from wanting his Mother's love to trying to get the King's seat. Along the series, the main character becomes more mature, and becomes more sensible, mature. Although he also became a lot darker, that is just one trait of him, which makes him unable to trust the people around him. If you continue reading the series, you will find the main character very lovable, and the author makes it such that you can sympathize with his difficulties being both female and male.

Granted, it can be quite amusing to compare royal portraits of the main players in Requiem of the Rose King to the manga version of beautiful people. But as a way to learn more about British history, this is a great introduction to the time of Richard III. Because Kanno has stayed true thematically to history there are a lot of tidbits and such to be gleaned. As well, it will make putting all the players into perspective that much easier as well. Richard III's young death, after all, marked the end of the medieval period and the beginning of the English Renaissance.In this first volume, we meet many of the characters, including Richard’s parents. The Duke of York is very handsomely depicted; he loves his youngest son and always offers encouragement (and he has this beautiful long, flowing hair). His mother Cecily, however, despises this son and is always demeaning him. We also meet gentle Henry VI, who would happily abdicate the throne if it meant the killing would stop, as well as Richard’s brothers Edward and George. Also on hand is William Catesby who in this version of things serves the York household and is one of the few who knows the truth about Richard.

Y por último Edward Lancaster. El odio hacia su padre por el hecho de "haberle quitado todo" hará que lleve a cabo una acción de la cual más tarde se arrepentirá. Requiem of the Rose King ( Japanese: 薔薇王の葬列, Hepburn: Bara-Ō no Sōretsu) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Aya Kanno. Loosely based on the Shakespearean plays Henry VI, Part 3 and Richard III, the series follows an intersex version of Richard III during the tumultuous Wars of the Roses (1455–1487) period in English history. [4] The manga was serialized in Akita Shoten's Monthly Princess magazine from October 2013 to January 2022, with its chapters collected into 16 bound volumes as of December 2021. It is licensed in English by Viz Media. It has inspired three drama CDs, two spin-off manga series, an original novel, a stage play, and an anime television series adaptation produced by J.C.Staff, which aired from January to June 2022.

I really loved this volume of the manga. It's clear that Aya Kanno has done research on the Wars of the Roses and knows the history. I love how they are able to weave history with the story they are wanting to tell. It makes the story so interesting and I've been so invested when I have been reading this story. I love how it's a retelling of Henry VI and Richard III from Shakespeare as well.
