Requiem of the Rose King Volume 3

Product Information

However, I'm just gonna say that please, PLEASE, read the manga instead as J.C.Staff's complete and finished adaptation and interpretation of this magnificent historical tragedy series is severely underwhelming in all aspects, and is a very stark comparison against the original source material which had so much depth and cognizant feelings. And this is all coming off from director Suzuki Kentarou which directed Summer 2018's Satsuriku no Tenshi (which had a very similar dark premise), which almost seems like a slap in the face to the psychological, horror and suspense genres, and now adding the historical, action, drama and supernatural themes altogether to make one more extra bad and awful rap. The best point in this series for me, though, is Richard and Henry’s relationship. I really feel for them, and think they could have a real friendship or romance, if their lives were different. They get to spend some real time together in this volume, and it’s a sweet reprieve for both of them. I want more of that, honestly. There is plenty of pathos and not much time is spent on the betrayals that led to Richard's defeat. The ending is fairly abrupt and other than a throwaway line about needing a horse, there aren't as many Shakespeare references here. Instead, the focus is on the pathos and psychology of Richard as the losses mounted in his life (wife, son, friends, lovers all dead) and the realization that he has accomplished what he set out to do and can face the battle calmly.

I do love that in this we get to see the side of Richard III that we know he has deep down inside. That section on the battlefield was so unsettling and I loved how it was portrayed. Ladies and gentlemen! Presenting the "What In The Hell Did I Just Read" shelf! Because sweet jesus what in the hell did I just read? Margaret of Anjou sends her son Edward (I know, another Edward) with a small search party to find his father and bring him home. While searching, son Edward comes upon Henry and Richard, and spies them in an affectionate embrace. This doesn’t sit well with young Edward because ... yikes! ... he’s attracted to Richard!

Este tomo me ha encantado mucho más que los dos anteriores que eran una introducción a la historia. Ahora sí que estamos de lleno en la trama y empezamos a vislumbrar nuevos caminos por donde irá la historia, así como la entrada de nuevos actores en la historia. Conspiraciones políticas y luchas de poder en las que uno u otro bando tienen que salir ganando. Richard es nuestro personaje principal, y el tercer hijo del duque de York. Este muchacho vive convencido de estar maldito y con más razón al ser repudiado por su madre a causa de haber nacido con un cuerpo de ambos sexos. The overall theme is the warring between the Houses of York and Lancaster—each claiming their leader to be the rightful king. Into all this is thrown young Richard III, the intersex son of the Duke of York who, because of his own particular condition, has his own internal battles as well as the more tradition military battles. a b Hodgkins, Crystalyn (6 October 2021).

Retrieved 6 October 2021.This isn't going to be every Ricardian's cuppa tea, but if you are willing to take a chance on it, I think you might end up liking it. However, this time, Richard understands what it means to bear the weight-of-the-crown, and he understands Henry in a way that he couldn’t have grasped when he was younger. It was really beautiful how in the end, it was Henry's spirit(?) look-alike(?) that gave Richard the final push.
