Basara

The story started with a little girl looking out into the sand. the village was preparing for her twins brother b-day, because her brother was name as the boy of destiny. But on that night, the red kind and his army came into Sasara (the girl) village and a boy was killed in Tatara (boy of destiny) place, because he claim to be the boy of destiny. A couple year later, the red king found out he killed the wrong person and came back to their village.
If you don't like sad, or tragedy story, don't read this manga. But this manga take place in history time. That what I like about this manga.

I love this story! But I can't find scans for past volume 20, and I'm too lazy to order them off amazon.com...

Sarasa is amazing, she seems real... I love Aghea, although he does get annoying much of the time with his cryptic hints.

At first, I didn't like this manga....but once you start reading it, you get sucked into the story and you just want to continue reading it. Good thing this series is completed, even in English version, because it's a long series and long series are addicting. I hate coming to the climax and having to wait for the next volume. The story is adventurous so our main character is constantly on the move. Poor Sarasa, she has to sacrafice soo much.

Oh a great story thought a little violent and poor Sarasa keeps getting in 'uncomfortable' situations. I just had to read the manga (or at least summaries of it) because the anime was so unjustly short. The mangaka just created a wonderful world with intriguing characters. It's a good action/romance - two genres that don't usually mix well.

Basara is good for its plot though it is quite long. But I really didn't like much the drawings...

The drawings are a bit different and a bit "rough". But the storyline is so well done that it's ok. It is a wonderful manga with heaps of different characters.

This is one of the best manga I know, the drawing is not the best but the story did a well done job in mixing the politics and reality into a shoujo manga. It was like half manga, half a novel to me. I really like the 7 Seeds manga of her too.

I love this series too and it's also by one of my favorite mangaka Yumi Tamura whose done 7seeds, which I also really like. And a short series called Chicago :D

i love this series! its so plot driven and character driven! i absolutely love that fact!
the artwork is really pretty too. im currently following it. im on vol...20 something.
its a great manga!! <33

I read it off some web, it was, I admit, awsome. I only read part of the extras though.It finishes off on volume 27

this story is so entertaining, how the two main enemies fall in love to each other unknowingly... and then how they support each other... it's very romantic

I love this story and the author. The main hero and heroine are such a likeable characters. The story itself kinda remind me of romeo and juliet ^^

I enjoy reading this series every time I feel the need to read something long, with a good plot, and with a more serious storyline. The art is what a lot of people have a problem with, I never had a problem with it though...maybe it's more a matter of people being used to the more modern art styles?

This has strong character development. The love between Sasara and Shuri is so cute but not cheesy. XD The plot is interesting all the way till the end.

Oh my, it's not long. I was longing for it every week, and it's great that they kept publishing it 1 vol/week. It's not a happy ending for everyone, of course, for any manga built on war theme. But, at least, the two amazing main characters can be together.

Barasa is a great manga I ever read. The first time I saw it I think may be It 's not a great manga just because drawing of manga not great but after I read it, I changed what I think.... => So I bought anime of manga too ^^!!!

Basara was one of the best manga ever. I love the way the heroine gradually become stronger and how the hero, who is fierce at the battlefield , become gentle for his love.
yes, it is a long manga, but in contain every necessary detail needed for a good plot of an awesome manga.
it is a fulfilling manga. I wish there are more manga like this..

basara is one of my favs i got all mangas in my room, my good i could read them every time and it is still cool, the heroin is very brave and i like stuff very the heroin has a important role and can fight like the male chara and where there are many bishies
