I had totally forgotten this manga was about Cesare Borgia, too cool! Beautiful art, interesting story...Cesare's father sold his son's soul to the Devil in order to gain the papacy, effectively ruining Cesare's life. Evil creatures that only he can see surround him all the time, and the evil inside of him seems ready to swallow him up at any moment. Yet Cesare starts off a good, loving boy...but as the evils of his corrupt world surface again and again Cesare comes ever closer to falling off the edge into darkness.

Totally neat. I'm a sucker for historical fiction manga, and this is very well done. (
