Cantarella series blanket review

A beutifully written fantasy using a real historical figure portrayed in a tragic light. Beautiful art in the traditional women's manga style, and an engaging story.

The Borgia web of power gets more complex

In the 3rd volume, Cesare is even more deceptive and manipulative, not only does he use his power as a Cardinal, but he flirts with Michelotto and continues to be the object of Lucrezia'a obsession. A definite love triangle is forming between the three, since Cesare is both attracted to Michelotto and Lucrezia. Another character Tagio Della Volpe emerges to become another of Cesare's pawns in his bid for power. In this volume we also see Cesare give in to his demonic tendencies as he violently kills and dismembers soldiers that have raped and killed his mother Vanozza. Higuri's illustration continue to improve as seen by the sexy cover, the story continues to get more twisted and intriguing. Higuri's Cesare just continues to get sexier and darker, he is just so much better when he is wicked. Simply a delight to read.

Astonishing!>_<

this is an interesting & intriguing series. i 1st saw this on an isle in Borders & was drawn in by the title & the beautiful artwork. this series is about a guy whos father sold him to the devil so he has evil spirits that r always around him. then 1 day he meets this guy & he can cleanse him of these demons just by touching him. through a series of events though, he gets sucked into the darkness itself. now his destiny will be either to destroy the world or bring peace and harmony back to renaissance europe.
