Tom Bombadil 07/02/18 2:45:09 PM #113:	Cantarella Vol. 4 hey I'm actually at my computer to live writeup woo The marriage isn't going great for Sforza and Lucrezia- he slaps her, they haven't done it, he knows she's hot for oniichan, and she knows he's passing info to the enemy. Popedad is having a rough go of things with France, too. Cesare talks him into laying low for a bit and then uniting Europe against France. He'll be staying with the Baglionis for a bit, and pretty much everybody we care about winds up there for one reason or another. The Alliance is doing well against France, but not as well as keikaku. Cesare is getting annoyed that he has to trust the war to incompetents. Cesare kisses Chiaro with no buildup. Lucrezia sees the Baglioni siblings doing it and it finally clicks that her feelings aren't sisterly, either. Reminder: the youngest child of Alexander is married to an older princess Sancia, who steamrolls him at every turn. She's gonna be a love-to-hate type, I can tell. She wants a go at Cesare like everybody else in this dang manga. Cesare sics Chiaro on Sforza's buddies, and Chiaro is only too happy to oblige since Sforza has been spreading rumors about Lucrezia in addition to spying on them. Cesare teases Chiaro about Lucrezia AND himself. Alexander puts Juan in charge of the Allied armies, subtly condensing power. TN: "keikaku" means "plan." Despite how many keikakus are doori, Cesare is getting tired of being the power behind the pope hat and not being able to directly do stuff. As planned, Juan makes a botch of surpressing the Orsinis. We see Cesare come to after a loss of control. Dunno what happened there but it probably wasn't good for anybody. Only Chiaro can nurse him back to strength and sanity~ and he came when he heard Cesare call...except Cesare did not in fact call. Hm. (Giovanni) Sforza realizes that he is now disposable, and gets the heck out of Dodge. Lucrezia is to divorce him and remarry. She confesses to Cesare, but gets a slap to the face and a thorough sisterzoning. She doesn't even have time to fully grieve this before Sforza kidnaps her. He's about to force himself on her when Michelotto/Chiaro (under Cesare's orders) makes the save. This is like the third time he's saved her in some fashion, I think. Lucrezia sees Chiaro without the mask, and asks him to take her away. He declines and she gets her to a nunnery. Cesare and Chiaro get into a fistfight over the whole love triangle/using everybody scenario. I think I am supposed to understand that Cesare's blood is poisonous (man I would like to go back to Apothecarius Argentum) so he can't be with people. He says this like two lines after pointing out that Chiaro has some immunity. Chiaro goes off, probably to retrieve Lucrezia from the monastery. A demon in Vanozza's form tries to draw in Cesare, but he ain't havin' it. Sancia shows up, though, and it looks like he IS havin' that. Hrm. My rating: 6/10 They've done a good job of building up the sexual tension, but not a good job on selling me on...any of the possible outlets for it. Lucrezia and Chiaro are too good for me to want them with Cesare, but it's too soon for ChiaroxLucrezia or indeed CesarexSancia, and boy I hope the momdemon is not going to be regularly trying to seduce people. Intrigue was a bit more interesting this time but I'm getting tired of Cesare constantly being ten steps ahead of everybody else. (and everybody else realizing this several times an issue) EDIT: There's a typo in the ads that tells us to find out what happens next in volume 4 --- Look at all those chickens I can be impulsive! I just have to think about it first! <cite>Tom Bombadil posted [p:904365356] in Tom reads ...
