The intrigue and royal conspiracy in the Bard's Richard III is given a
dark manga twist that will appeal to aficionados of both comics and the
classics.
Richard, the ambitious third son of the House of York, believes he is
cursed, damned from birth to eternal darkness. But is it truly fate that
sets him on the path to personal destruction? Or his own tormented
longings? Based on an early draft of Shakespeare's Richard III, Aya
Kanno's dark fantasy finds the man who could be king standing between
worlds, between classes, between good and evil.
When Buckingham mounts a rebellion, Richard is compelled to cross swords
with the man who was formerly his other half. Meanwhile, the web of
atrocities that Richmond weaves begins to tear Richard's authority
apart!
