The tale has become very popular among the entertainment media platforms given the fact that it has been an inspiration for three drama CDs as well as a spin-off manga series too.
Great news for the fans of this manga came forth when J.C. Staff announced that they are going to create an anime television series which will be based on Requiem of the Rose King.

As for the plot, we witness that the Kingdom of England is in total chaos as the people have been told between the two houses, that is, The House of York as well as the House of Lancaster. Each of them is trying to prove that their leader is the king of the land. This is when we see that the young Prince Richard is trying to fight a battle within himself.
