The Borgia web of power gets more complex, November 19, 2006
This review is from: Cantarella Vol. 3 (v. 3) (Paperback)
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.

Cantarella series blanket review, January 9, 2007
This review is from: Cantarella Vol. 3 (v. 3) (Paperback)
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.
