posted on by Jennifer Sherman
Classic historical play re-imagined as dark fantasy about hermaphrodite king
Monthly Princess last month.
The manga's dark fantasy story takes place during the Wars of the Roses — sporadic wars fought for the throne of England between 1455 and 1485. The story centers on the unfortunate fate of a man born with a hermaphrodite body, Richard III.
The first chapter will be available for free on Akita Shoten's website until December 5. The second chapter will premiere in the December issue of Monthly Princess on Wednesday.
