"CESARE Il Creatore che ha distrutto" Illustrated by Fuyumi Souryo

Cesare Vol9 [Japanese Edition] Fuyumi Souryo 9784063766295 Books

Cesare Borgia is one of those historical figures that are either hated or loved, with a particular concentration of the former in popular media. Personally, he is a historical figure which I have always been really interested in, probably because of the particular time period he lived at. As any history fan would know though, it isn’t really often that I find a fiction media that gives an accurate portrayal of a certain period or figure. Such books (and shows) are actually quite rare, at least in my experience, and tend to focus on exaggerated or completely fictional details of a certain person’s life. Such is the case for Cesare Borgia, and in this particular niche, there are already other mangas ‘dealing’ with his life (‘Cantarella’ being one of those). Fuyumi Soryo’s ‘Cesare’, however, succeeds in being a wonderful manga adaptation of the life of this historical figure – at least up to the point where it currently has updated to. Being quite a big fan of Cesare Borgia, this was a very welcome discovery for me.

‘Cesare’ follows the life of Cesare Borgia, probably one of history’s most enigmatic figures, an aristocrat during Renaissance Italy and son of Rodrigo Borgia (Pope Alexander VI). It takes an intimate look at Cesare’s life during his matriculation at the University of Pisa, at the age of 15, in the years preceding his appointment as a cardinal. It also includes many other historical figures which lived at that particular time and place as well as others who are more famous for supporting him, such as Michelotto da Corella, and gives a very original and interesting view on them.

Though the story starts by following Angelo da Canossa, a new student at Pisa. Angelo, having lived a sheltered life with his grandfather in Lorenzo de Medici’s Florence, retains a social clumsiness that doesn’t quite work out with the particular social structure of both the University of Pisa, and the city of Pisa itself. Though (as far as I understand) Angelo is an original character, his inclusion doesn’t harm the story at all and allows for an easy and immersive exploration of the world portrayed in this manga by the author.

The story itself follows mainly historical events, and takes a very approximate line to the portrayal of the characters in events that aren’t truly historical. There is little to talk about in the plot in this sense, as it follows a very strong historical line and doesn’t delve into fantasy or science-fiction (like other historical fantasy titles do, such as ‘Cantarella’ by You Higuri, which is anything but accurate). It is exactly this which gives charm to this manga, as it presents a faithful and good picture of Renaissance Italy, making it interesting and wonderful to read for any person which has an interest in this particular period. The way Cesare Borgia is portayed is one of the things which makes me like this title the best, as it doesn’t engage in the typical exaggerated characterisation and instead presents him humanely – as best as the character of a comic or book can be portrayed.

The art itself is absolutely stunning. The way characters and scenery is drawn made reading this manga a pleasure. It fits the story perfectly, and portrays the characters emotions really well. The backgrounds and sceneries are gorgeous too, and stopping whilst reading to take notice of the less important details made reading really enjoyable.

In sum, ‘Cesare’ is historically accurate, and this is exactly its charm and interest. Presenting accurate history whilst maintaining it interesting and engaging is no easy task, and not every author manages to do so. Fuyumi Soryo, however, fully manages to make this manga a wonder to read, and my only real complaint with this title is that there is no English translated title available for purchase (only French and Japanese), though there are many fan-translated versions available online. I fully recommend this title to all who are interested in history and in this particular character, as the more humane portrayal of Cesare Borgia is a very welcome change. It isn’t often that one finds a good portrayal of his character, as with many other historical figures. ‘Cesare’, is definitely a manga worth to be read, and in my opinion deserves a high 5 stars. Read it before reading other manga titles about the same character - you won't regret it.
