This is an astonishing manga to read! This has almost everything you could ask for in a shoujo manga!

A beautiful tale of destiny, love, and war. You will never experience a shoujo manga like this again! It does not have the normal shoujo trend but more of a fantasy feel to it. I feel like reading a fantasy novel when reading this manga. The art is truely beautiful and each character is unforgetable! Anyone who read shoujo manga should read Basara! Highly recommend to those who look for an unforgetable read!

i say, epic drama, romance, antagonists... every ingredient was plotted very carefully and effectively by Tamura Yumi. I'm amazed. It's not your normal average shoujo, which suits me. Definitely recommended.

This is an AMAZING epic that will knock you off your feet. Tamura Yumi weaves the story so successfully that the fantasy world along with its characters are fully believable. The manga is so well told and drawn that it will have you in tears, seriously. Even if you don't usually go for action and adventure shoujo stories, at least give Basara a try. Plus, Tamura's art style is very unique.
