Basara is a story of a girl that takes up on her brother's name for revolution, that unfolds beautifully. At the start the art is not that great but it gets better, rather the art grows on to as the you dive further.

The most beautiful part of the entire manga are its characters. There are lot of characters that grow up on you. You simply fall in love with them. The character development throughout the story is amazing and well paced.

The plot and the arcs are good as they adventure around to gather allies. The ending is also amazingly done and makes it a ... fulfilling read.

The character and their relationships will have you invested in this epic.
The romance is a common enemy to lovers trope yet the chemistry between the 2 leads has hearts fluttering. The entire character base makes the story relatable on emotional level.

This is simply an amazing classic manga that is probably amongst the best romance/war manga one can read

i've read basara for days, since i only have time at night. every night i look forward to reading it because the story is actually really good. the art style bothered meat first since i was used to modern manga but now i love it, it grew on me. the characters are multi-dimensional and complex, in which i can't choose who am i rooting for between the 2 main characters. all their decisions are the best and not impulsive (for me). also, the romance is chef's kiss, because it's not sudden and it happened slowly between them. in conclusion, i love sarasa and shuri <3

Art: 7/10. The art is definitely that 90s shoujo vibe. If you like Fushigi Yugi, Red River, etc type art, you will like this one as well.

Characters: 2/10. I could not stand the FL in this one. At some points during reading, I kept hoping the author would remove/kill off the female lead and introduce a new likeable one. 90s shoujo manga tend to write the most aggravaging, annoying, headache-inducing female leads in the world of fiction. Honestly, I found most of the characters to be annoying.

Plot: 7/10. I will say the political aspect of the story was done quite well. Honestly it ... was more of a political manga than a shoujo romance manga which isn't a bad thing, but I just wanted more romance though.

Overall: 6/10. It wasn't terrible but for how long it was written, the romance aspect was too little for me. Honestly I felt like it was a waste of my time but I can understand why others would like it.
