Reference used: Richard III's actual portrait

[ID: a discord text from no.1 suffering enjoyer that says,

the "richard 3 if he was intersex" manga wouldn't have been that good if it was good but I'm still mad it tripped and fell facefirst onto being way more boring than it could've been like it wouldn't have been thaat good but like there were compelling bits in there with anne and edward and all that but NOO we have to have boring chaser yaoi for like 4 volumes in a row SAD and the thing is like the chaser yaoi could've been like. Fine. not good but Tolerable if the narrative realised it was fucked up but it didn't! so it wasn't! and the other thing is the chaser yaoi just kind of just takes agency from the main character like this type of tragedy is fun because you chose this! you chose this and in the end, after losing everything, you're still unhappy when the protag is like halfway goaded into the things he does it's like well whatever

It would be genuinely interesting to see how some manga plots parallel or deviate from the play it took inspiration from, and how Richard/Buckingham/literally everyone else's character differ from the Shakespearean version, and consequently their historical counterpart. Not in the shallow "Richard is more evil in the play" way cause we know that already, but something more intricate and in depth

Richard's gay situationship this, gay situationship that, fuck off give me Anne's sapphic awakening/entanglement
