Now is the winter of our great content, as we’re pleased to announce that Requiem of the Rose King will be joining the Funimation lineup this month!
Like Romeo x Juliet and Blast of Tempest before it, Requiem of the Rose King takes a page out of William Shakespeare’s book, being loosely inspired by an early draft of The Tragedy of King Richard the Third to tell a darker tale of a boy torn between the battle for the English throne and the battle within.
