What’s oddly cute about it is the sense that the author finds Renaissance Italy exotic and cool in the same way some Westerners find Samurai-era Japan. Cultural cross-pollination, my favorite gateway drug.

Also noticeable in manga with English characters who have odd-sounding names like "Earl Dorian Gloria." Oh, also there's a Chevalier D'Eon manga. It's sort of a supernatural detective story, I think.

I finally watched Paprika this weekend :)
