I don't get it. Bradherley no Basha is basically 8 chapters of abject filth, and it offers its audience no consolation. It's about pre-teen orphan girls getting gang-raped by violent prisoners. The common interpretation of Bradherley no Basha is that it's either a condemnation of the depicted acts or is a mere depiction and should not be taken as anything more. This strikes me as false, seeing as the mangaka contrived the premise of the story illogically, just to force the circumstances where these girls are subjected to the abuse of the prisoners. What I mean is that the reasoning behind giving the girls to ...

Some readers might recognise Hiroaki Samura's name from the "swords and sandals" epic, "Blade of the Immortal", possibly the romantic comedy "Ohikkoshi". If you do, and you're keen to try "Bradherley's Coach", first forget everything you might have read from this managka before. This is, simply put, very dark, chilling and very disturbing (yes, my read-at-random method has dished up another offering from the Dark Side). In a way, I'd describe it as "horror done right."

I'm going to start off with a warning - this manga will shock you. Nothing can prepare you for the premise underlying this tale. Yet he doesn't do ...

----------

With the limited amount of 10/10s in existence, I am forever on the lookout for anything of the more serious and twisted variety, for if there is anything that can get a reaction out if me, it is not blushing wuv shoujo, or the usual braindead school anime.

Bradherley's Coach certainly fits the bill: set in Europe in the early 1900's (the setting matching best with England), is is about girls from orphanages getting picked based on their appearance to join the opera troupe of one of the most powerful nobles (the fourth, to be precise!) in existence - Bradherley. The ...

If you are looking for a story that is going to leave you with a bad taste than Bradherley's Coach is for you. It's one of the most appalling, pathetic stories I have ever read. I feel disgusted, just can't get it off my head.

The story revolves around little girls getting brutally raped and tortured to death in the most goriest fashion imaginable. With each chapter the story moves on to the next girl. Some chapters focus on the background stories of the girls; but there is no real character development.

The only silver lining of this manga is its art. The art style ...

Samura art is quite impresive , I have been a fan of BOTI for years, that is why I tried Bradherley´s coach, but I regret ever reading this manga it si just gore for the benefit of gore, there is no characters development, there is just the innocent girls, the corrupt guards and the insane prisioners. The characters are linear and flat There was no justification for all the violence. It reminded me of a porn miovie...a bad one.

This manga is just good to test yourself how much beatifully depicted gore you can hande, don´t expect anything else.

Preliminary (8/8 chp)
I'm re-reading this (years later) and revising my review/rating.

I got into this because I liked Samura's work on BOTI. A bit of gratuitous sex and violence is also within my tastes. However I got a hell lot more than I bargained for. Most people have a line they draw somewhere right? Mine are: eye injuries and underaged rape. This manga has both. I was close to puking at one point. Anyway let's break it down for the rating.

The story: 6/10
There isn't really a plot. This is just a collection of short stories that revolve around a central premise, a premise that I find...a bit ...

Under beneath the sheep man's clothing there's a despair awaits inside the wall..

Conclusion started in a small mild orphanage were less tons of girls living a dire unanimous crisis between poverty. Such preposterous sickening tales takes place in a different turn after getting a suicidal note set away towards between the depths of theatrical opera play. Where every adopted girls been taken to least greedy desire to grew money. In a plethora sense of art, as usual there are few spark which oppose an aspects along it's charm. Tales are bit bizarre and pale which leads to vile gruesome concepts by droving a nonsense ...

This is not a review, since most of the points I could talk about concerning this manga has already been said by others. The score I'm giving it does represent my opinion, but this "review" is more about the background information surrounding it.

Right of the bat, this kind of situation did happen in history. In fact, there are so many similarities that I'm convinced that Samura, the mangaka, was directly influenced by it(more on this later). The event I am referring to is the second Sino-Japanese war. Specifically the comfort women in the war. I am not going to go over any details about ...

This is a story set in a medieval , featuring lords, prisons, nobles, and orphanages. These seemingly unrelated elements are fatefully intertwined, kicking off the nightmare for the girls in the story. While most people find such manga plots hard to stomach and accept, it's worth remembering that medieval history was like this—war was the norm at that time, and there was no talk of human rights or moral standards.

I give it only a 6 because it gets boring in the latter half. The one chapter that really hit me hard was the one where the father and daughter reunite at the most fucked up ...

Most of the mangas I've read are horror or psychological, this one is around below the top 10,
now, I understand why readers hated it, most of them saying it haunts them,
I just think that readers shouldn't read this if they're not frequent to dark-themed mangas.
Everyone who've read it warned that it was cruel, but I just don't understand why this is rated lowly, It's just annoying that this happens in real life, and some comments sounded like they still reject the idea that human trafficking exists.

-Slight spoilers ahead-
Bradherley no Basha shows the dark side of human morality, which was subtly hinted on the summary, ...

I personally have a love for shock manga or really any with a dark theme, but this manga was so underwhelming, i feel like the plot itself was lost halfway thru and there was no justice or true explanation about the poor girls. I found myself confused about many of the randomly introduced characters especially at the end with the death of this random woman named marilla? i believe. Deeply disappointed plot wise, only managed to make me feel pity and disgust towards the mistreatment towards the girls, the constant gang rape seemed unrealistic, honestly the whole system seemed ...

I give all the points to the story, as the premise and the setting is the best points, however I sadly have to take it down because of the characters and pacing. This manga is gory and quite traumatic in a sense that you feel bad for the main character, and she just keeps getting worse treatment. However, it is a short read. If you want to read something to think about, and get no positive emotion, I would suggest this. It is a very good storyline, and the psychological aspect makes up for it. I enjoy fucked up manga, as its my favorite, however ...

Don't expect much, it's mostly shock value.

I don't think I have much to say about this, but many people have expressed their inability to understand the story. Someone had detailed the story in other review. Those are more helpful than this one.

Now, I would only discuss some intention that the author tried to insert into it. It is really short, but I can't really recommend it. I would recommend Mikai no Hoshi. Women's suffering is one thing, the other major theme is in dream, desire, unchecked power, power structure, human's cruelty and even the spirit of endurance. In it, there's also some spite towards naivete, ...
