Goodreads Synopsis:
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.

Review:
We see the realization at the beginning of this volume, and the
subsequent downfall after. It's honestly heartbreaking.
Richard is reeling from this new knowledge, and he doesn't quite
know how to cope. Cecily has no issues continuing with her plan,
though. The two queens continue with their determinations for battle,
and it ensues. There's manipulation and secret-identities; lots of
blood and potential deaths.
It appears that York has won, but not happily. It's rough. And then,
when Richard goes to see Henry, it's apparent that Cecily has gotten
to him first.
This is honestly heartbreaking, and the worst moment I've read so
far. It's awful, and I don't want to imagine what happens next. It
can't be good.
