basara
synopsis: in the future… when japan has become a dessert… when a king grants his children dominion over the land… each unto his own territory… there is a prophecy… that a boy will come to deliver the people from tyranny, raising hope and gaining followers… to rejoin the four swords once more… byakko, suzaku, seiryuu, genbu.. and so tatara was born… the hope of the people, their prophesied leader… but then tatara is killed before he can even begin his duty… is it gone so quickly then? just within grasp and out again… but tatara must live to fulfill his destiny, to fulfill the dreams of so many people.. and so sarasa rises up and claims his destiny, proclaiming her dead older twin to have been herself.. and so she starts her journey… and so she makes the mistake of falling in love..
commentary: it took me a very long time to get used to the art of basara. the drawings are too rough and sketchy, and often don’t see when attractive people are supposed to be attractive (except for maybe a few of the characters who got better treatment). this story is truly an epic, with battles raging all over post-apocalyptic japan.. so much tragedy, loss, and betrayal.. and in the middle of it all is a heartbreaking love story. romeo and juliet’s tragedy started because their families were at war with each other. in basara, the tragedy starts because of a prophecy.. and now they’re leading the war against each other. i don’t think i’ve seen many other shoujo manga go into this much depth in adventure and war. perhaps fushigi yuugi, but, even then, the feel is different. i think i’d have to say that this is one of my favorite titles that i still go back to every so often.
