Requiem of the Rose King... has... its problem, story wise with lots of randomly random events and concerning its characters development that can be quite incoherent..... But.....
I just love this manga. As much as I actually understand where people could see bad elements in there... It didn't bother me at all when I was reading it.

As this manga is "inspired" by the "Richard III", Shakespeare theatrical work, so it's not surprising to see the story taking "overly dramatic" routes with lots of emotional conflicts form misunderstanding, stories of betrayal or even some "scenes" etc... But it doesn't try to hide it and just makes it part of the manga "identity", so again : it don't really bother when reading.
Of course this point of view I present, is subjective and as I said I do understand where "Baraou no souretsu" may not seem attractive to people story-wise....

BUT
The ART! The ART is absolutely gorgeous, I can't say I've never seen "better" elsewhere and even much better in term of realism or movement , or lanscape, but the author has such a way with faces and subtility when drawing people. There's a huge gap here compared to her previous works. As if the dramatic tension the story brings just let her transmit more emotions in a new manner.

Even if it were for only this artistic aspect of the manga I'll still truly consider buying every volumes, when I'll be able to.

I didn't really reflect much about the characters and how "good" they are, because as in a real theatrical works, characters are more ones that "undergo" more than "act" and really influence the plot. Apart from 2 or 3 main characters, I have to say most of the cast is actually weak and it doesn't help that many of them are jerks (tho this point does have coherence in the atmosphere the story wants to install, it's just a pesonnal preference).

In the big picture, the manga is enjoyable and despite the light storyline it follows, the author manage to make it up with the atmosphere and the way she deepen her characters with internal or external conflicts beautifully portrayed with the art.
