Maravilloso este tercer tomo, más pausado y más político. El dibujo es sencillamente espectacular.

Requiem of the Rose King follows Richard who is the third son of the Duke of York and living in a world where the Wars of the Roses is on the precipice of beginning.
I really love this manga series so much. I have been so invested in what is going to happen next even though I know the history. This manga takes the story from history and Shakespeare and the magna artist makes this her own story.
I really loved seeing two of the characters come together again and give into their feelings a bit. The ending of this volume had me absolutely shocked and I needed to know more of what is going to happen next. I love how the manga writer is able to weave the actual history with the story that we got from Shakespeare in Henry VI< and Richard III.
I don't want to say too much as I don't want to spoil this manga volume. I really love this series and I cannot wait to see what the next volume has in store.

whooo boy. that escalated quickly
i'm horribly tempted to book talk this on my professional blog but i don't think i'm quite ready for my coworkers to know the kind of soap opera nonsense i find entertaining yet. maybe once i've got a permanent position
this'd be incredibly fun to book talk though, i think it may actually beat out one hundred years of solitude for things that are hilarious to describe to unsuspecting folks
(one hundred years of solitude has a boy who runs away from home and sails the globe 65 times before returning all tatted up and using his pirate charm to make a living as a gigolo. then he marries his adopted sister.

requiem of the rose king: featuring that awkward moment when you discover you're in a love triangle with your father and patricide is the only option)
i am sure none of you are surprised to learn that i found this highly entertaining and look forward to seeing what kanno comes up with next. 3 stars

Devoured this volume and I'm clamoring for more, more, more! Henry and Richard's give and pull relationship, them sharing a cabin during a storm, I felt for both of them. Especially when Edward (Lancaster) spotted his father being close to Richard, his obsession. I'm also for this plot line of Louis and the Kingmaker. Ah, but the ending has me clutching my lady pearls. I need to know if Henry escaped.
