Requiem of the Rose King is a series that gains in some areas while it lacks in others. The obvious lack is clearly the historical inaccuracies. A point covered in previous Anime UK News reviews of the series, there is much that differs between the manga, the Shakespeare play, and actual history, so the series has never been one for purists. More recent volumes have played up what is now a gay affair between Richard and Buckingham for example. The hunt that is depicted in this volume is also an event that never happened. Mind you, it is difficult to research Richard III and hunting, as all that comes up is articles about hunting his body in Leicester car parks.
