I'm not sure I like the style of this manga yet but Cantarella means poison? That's news to me!

Cantarella, in fiction (or just Romeo and Juliet), is the name of a drug that can supposedly put the consumer in a state of death for a certain period of time. Historically it's a deadly poison that can kill, but is believed to be just a rumour and doesn't actually exist.

In this manga it is... something else which would be a spoiler.

Not too fond of the art style, but I'm shocked to find out that they're siblings- when I watched the music video ages ago I always just assumed they were lovers

I see many people here who are misinformed about the manga and its inspirations. It is not inspired by Romeo and Juliet or anything like that. The name of the manga comes from a historical poison called ‘Cantarella’ which most notably was used by the Borgias, a powerful Spanish family who lived in Italy in the late 1400s and early 1500s. Lucrezia and Cesare Borgia were real siblings, children of the pope at the time. There were rumors of incest between them, although it is most likely not true, for a long time it was believed that they did commit incest. It’s not surprising that was in the story if you know this information.
It’s time to ditch the text file.
