Cantarella should get a lot of love from its fans; its characters and illustration seem to have that kind of attraction towards them. This story to me deserves a lot more than its getting.

Back to the topic at hand, as the summary already mentioned this story is a 'good vs. evil' kind of story, the Vatican comes under question (which happens quite frequently in reality too) and Italy is on the brink of war; so there is a lot of hate going around and since this story is in a 'good vs. evil' style; the writer seems to love using loads and loads of contrasts within their story. For example, at one point the main character becomes a man of the church however within the plot, he is supposedly evil. Which puts the church under question (again), who is truly evil? The church or the main character since the church is following his corrupt orders.

To anyone, the main character could be seen as many negative things at face-value only.
In my eyes he seems to be a tragic fellow that gains little and loses much though he has little to begin with. At times, the characters do get on your nerves and I think why I didn't give this story a higher rating was because of the limited twists within the story.
Yes, the story itself is a big twist,

BUT it is a prolonged twist.

Not that the idea is bad but never, the writer should have never, stopped adding twists, a twist creates suspense, is a change of scene and is like a new wave; a breath of fresh air.

That was what the story was missing.

The illustration kept its quality, and is historically-accurate, as I see it. The illustrations do have their charm and are acceptable, and had little change during the story. Surprisingly, the illustrator got all the body parts in proportion; something they should be basked in glory about since the almost impossibility of finding a story which gets ALL the body parts in proportion.

This story has the ability to make readers: fans. Its story isn't 'wow', its illustration isn't 'wow', but it definitely has its charm.
