Tom Bombadil 07/01/18 11:08:17 PM #110:	Cantarella Vol. 3 another short writeup for car reading Juan and Djem are rumored to be an item, so we're marrying off Juan. Djem is Turkish royalty, but was exiled after losing a succession struggle with his brother. Tagio Della Volpe, whoever that is, is back. France is going after Naples, and Rovere is trying to parlay that into cleansing the Vatican. (ie, Alexander) Cesare arranges for Lucrezia to walk in on him in the throes of (fake) passion so that maybe she'll calm her boobs. Niccolo is the name of that weird moth sorceror. Cesare has to be taken hostage for reasons I'm not following. Giulia is there and throws herself at Cesare. Cesare shuts that down hard and she goes yandere on him. She and her brother were trying to use Cesare, but she also wants one head of his or ther other. During some bonda-er, torture scenes, Giulia mentions that enemy troops are on the way to Vanozza. Cesare is about to bust out full grimdark mode, but Chiaro and Tagio and Niccolo cut his way out instead. Cesare's pretty banged up from all the bo- torture, but there's no time to heal we gotta go save mom! We do not quite make it in time, but boy is Cesare sure a guy whose mother you don't wanna rape and mortally wound. Vanozza entrusts Cesare to Chiaro's care as she expires. Later, her body disappears, and Niccolo tells Chiaro it's probably animated by some of Cesare's demons. Gratuitous artistic momboob occurs. The French army is here! Cesare talks King Charles out of deposing Pope Dad, despite Rovere's best efforts to keep him on track. However Cesare is now their hostage. Much like everything else in this manga so far, this too is according to keikau. Chiaro and Tagio arrange to escape with Cesare and Djem, but Djem turns heel on 'em. All he really wants is to die, though, so Cesare makes that happen. All this evil is getting to Cesare but Chiaro is still going to stay with him so he can support and/or kill him as necessary. My rating: 5/10 I'm gettin' kinda bored, honestly. Chiaro's the only character I really like or can relate to, and the intrigue and politics aren't grabbing me for some reason. On paper this looks like a 6 or 7 kinda manga (I like intrigue, the art's pretty solid, and so far Cesare is probably the most attractive hawt gay anime boi on the shelf IMO) but it's just kinda sticking at a 5 level for some reason, and I don't get the sense it's likely to climb back up later. --- Look at all those chickens I can be impulsive! I just have to think about it first! <cite>Tom Bombadil posted [p:904332592] in Tom reads ...
