Obviously, I read this in English, not Japanese. But I was too lazy to make a new record.
So, Richard III. If anyone knows me, they know why I had to have this. I had a bit of an obsession in college. I still get nostalgic reading anything about Richard III. Of course, I'm excited that his remains will have a proper burial.
But I digress.
This is an interesting take on Richard, and I'll be excited to see where Kanno-sensei takes her story. It's a little peculiar, and this first volume is a bit rushed and choppy, but it's still enjoyable. The art is sketchy, but quite lovely, even haunting at times. It looks way different from ‘Oto-men.'
I love manga-ka nerding out over historical figures (see ‘Cantarella'), so I'm excited about this manga.
