Cantarella, Vol. 2

yay slightly tipsy super tired recap uhhhh

Cesare quickly becomes suicidal. Chiaro saves him AND fails to kill him when he asks, in a fit of compassion and/or the gays. Cesare absorbs all those demon guys so that's trouble for everybody. He and Chiaro still have a standing agreement for Chiaro to shank him whenever. Rodrigo becomes Pope Alexander VI, and he and Cesare use each other to solidify power. Cesare seems to have dark powers now, like paralysis, compulsion, and paintouch. Cesare arranges Lucrezia's political marriage to big ol' douche Giovanni Sforza. Lucrezia has a thing for Cesare, Chiaro has a thing for Lucrezia, Cesare is using Lucrezia's thing for him and probably boinking Chiaro offscreen, and this is the weirdest dang love triangle.

Back to real time updating! Alcohol's wearing off, coffee's kicking in. The idea is that Cesare will be both a useful tool as a clergy as well as prevented from grander ambition, but Cesare is not gonna let that stop him. He scares off Rovere, one of Rodrigo/Alexander's chief rivals. Also there's a bathing scene because I guess water staves off the effects of using too much evil juice or something. There's also international politics that I'm having trouble braining.

Lucrezia is getting sad that she can't boink her brother, and Chiaro sneaks away to leave her flowers. On his escape, though, he's distracted by a musician, and thusly gets caught by Juan. Prince Djem, the musician, lets him go though. I feel like it's been a while since we've had a volume that didn't end on a cliffhanger, but here we are!

Some production sketches and other bonus material.

My rating: 6/10
There's gotta be a term for, like, more strongly implied than Ho Yay/gaybaiting but less explicit than yaoi and older than shonen-ai. At any rate, it's still pretty but I'm still not the target audience, and I didn't find the plot as engaging this time around.
