Cesare and Chiaro
Cantarella is a fantasy manga about the youth of Cesare Borgia, warrior, politician, and second son of Pope Alexander VI. Only here, he's possessed by demons, with a Red Right Hand to prove it. The manga was serialized in Princess Comic from 2000-2010.
Named for the famous poison that Cesare and his family supposedly used — see also the Vocaloid song of the same name.
Not to be confused with Soryo Fuyumi's Cesare - Il Creatore che ha distrutto, another manga about Cesare when he was young, serialized in Morning Magazine from 2005-2021.
- A Hero Is Born: The manga begins with his birth, and shows how the demons got a hold of him.
- Born During a Storm: In the opening scenes.
- Red Right Hand: The proof of Cesare's possession, and a nice excuse to get him tied to a bed.
