One of the most emotional volumes in this series! Those scenes tore my heart.

wwwwwwwwhhhhhhhyyyyy?

WHHHHHHHHHYYYY?

(why did the anime get a premature death. why does this have to be so good)

No time to talk, if I read fast enough I might be able to read the next 10+ volumes before the day ends.

[অর্পিতা · Rating 5 out of 5]

Best volume so far..made me cry a lot. I've already read it twice.

[Samantha wickedshizuku Tolleson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This volume starts off with Chapter 54: Crimson Chapter 8-Talent

I'll write more when my editing mode hits.
Happy Readings!

THIS IS WHAT THE SERIES HAS BEEN LEADING UP TO SO FAR AND IT WAS SO WORTH IT

[Hisgirl85 · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.5 stars. The culmination of one part of the story, which was awesome but difficult. The beginning of the second half that starts out sad but resigned. Oh, Sarasa and Shuri!

Synopsis:

At last, Sarasa's journey has come full circle. Having begun with a haphazard scheme to save her people from the Red King's destruction of Byakko village, Sarasa has now reached the point where she can bring the fight to him. If only she knew who the Red King truly is! On the eve of battle, Sarasa and Shuri are reunited. Both have survived horrible trials and face dire futures, so there is no reason to hold back. Finally, they can express their true feelings. Yet how can they keep their secret identities hidden from each other if they will soon be crossing swords?

My Thoughts:

This volume was hard to read! We've reached that point! The inevitable has happened and the aftermath is not so good for Sarasa and Shuri. Both of them seem to have taken this extremely hard. Sarasa retreats deep into herself and Shuri nearly kills himself. Ageha tries his hardest to snap Sarasa out of it and damn near gives up on her. He leaves her on Mt. Fuji, but when she's attacked by bandits attempting to rape her, she kills them all. She comes across some kind of wizard and makes her way to the north. It seems, she hasn't completely given up.

Meanwhile, Asagi has rescued Shuri and seems to be taking him somewhere. Shuri doesn't seem ready to rejoin the world. Asagi seems to feel that Shuri's death isn't good enough to end in suicide. What will he do to convince Shuri to carry on? Does he still want to be the one to kill him? I still don't quite get why he wants Shuri dead so badly, but I guess Asagi has his own reasons.

Sarasa is now in the North and it seems she's been fighting against the Black King on the side of Kazuno. I think Ageha is also fighting. What does she hope to accomplish up there all on her own? She's met some nice people and I'm worried she'll get her heart broken again, but after the shock of what happened with Shuri, nothing could be so bad now, right?

The long awaited meeting between the Red King and Tatara finally occurred. Only for both parties to be too shocked to do anything.

I think this scene was perfect, the shock factor was very realistic

[Alberta Adji · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is so... way heartbreaking.
Sasara and Shuri finally realize that they are not also lovers but archenemies as well.
Go figure.

[Tina Sy · Rating 5 out of 5]

They give themselves to each other and then the next day they meet on the battle field. Both went into complete shock ~ white noise, can't hear, can't see, can't feel.

Ageha picks her up and drops her off in the mountainous Fuji area to recover from her heartbreak. She meets a hermit who tells her to head north. Her Team continues to battle in her name as Hayato poses as her while she infiltrates the White Kingdom.

[Cactus · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ahhhh, ce tome ! C'est dingue à que point il est impactant dans l'histoire. On a passé 14 tomes à attendre ces moments mais quand ils viennent, on aimerait retourner en arrière et demander plus de temps pour pouvoir s'en remettre. Ce manga est vraiment une pépite, je tuerais pour qu'il soit connu par plus de gens.

[Stéphanie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ce tome est génial ! LA vérité est enfin avouée ! Je ne m'attendais tellement pas à ce genre de réactions !!!! Ces nouveaux rebondissements font vraiment revivre cette saga qui va pouvoir continuer avec un suspense de malade !!

[Jen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Bit of a "fucking finally!" moment where Sarasa and Shuri finally find out each other's identities. Not that it was a bad thing that it look this long for it to happen. I look forward to seeing where everything goes from here.

[scarlettraces · Rating 5 out of 5]

Levelled up.

[Kristilyn · Rating 5 out of 5]

This one killed me...

[Jessica]

Well, that was a gut punch.

the angst and anguish … so good

[Kat R · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you are going go enemies to lovers well this is the blueprint.

[Ash · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 stars. it’s been a while since I’ve picked this series up so I think that’s why I felt a little emotionally distant.

[Madi💞A · Rating 5 out of 5]

They finally found out each other

[Cindy · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’m struggling to find you who I cannot see
I’m struggling to find you who I cannot hear

In that space where memories linger
Still as warm on my fingertips
You are here
Your scent, your face

Please, look at me
I can feel you, like this
Struggling to catch your expressions
Struggling to catch your smiles

You, who I struggled to understand
In the place where we were together
In the moment where I resembled you
When it felt too good being soaked in the rain
You are gone

How am I supposed to erase you alone and live
In those moments where we once walked together
Like that, the things we made beside each other
Even the memories, even those regrets

Lingered there with me, missing you so much
How am I supposed to erase you alone and live
When I miss you so much

Your name, which I was barely allowed to speak, can’t be erased
My name, only used by you, is asleep here

In the place where we were together
In those moments where we could’ve walked together
I’m holding onto myself alone
In this place, even our future, my wishes have stopped
I’m standing here and you are gone
I miss you so much






Yuhuuuu finallyyyyy uhuk" :p

Nah inilah jadinya kalau seseorang seperti saya mementingkan cover diatas segalanya. Saya jadi nggak jeli dengan isi dari komik yang panjangnya ada 27 volume ini.

Setelah mencicipi volume 1, bisa dibayangkan betapa besarnya penyesalan sekarang karena baru aja tau kalo komik ini SANGAT BAGUS.

Sasara yang berubah dengan kesadaran sendiri menjadi Tatara, seorang perempuan berumur 16 tahun yang menguatkan diri dengan tujuan membalaskan dendam desanya yang hancur dan kakak serta ayahnya yang mati diakibatkan serangan dari Raja Merah. Sasara hanya bisa menjadi dirinya sendiri saat ia berada di Onsen yang kemudia benar benar tertarik dengan seorang pemuda humoris tapi juga kharismatik dan seenaknya sendiri bernama Shuri. Tipikal kan? Nggak ada yang aneh dari jalan cerita ini. kecuali kalau Shuri ini adalah sang Raja Merah.

Hebatnya lagi yang membuatku sangat sangat kagum, Yumi Tamura menguatkan ikatan mereka tanpa terburu-buru dan alur yang keren, bisa dibuktikan dengan terbongkarnya identitas Shuri sang Raja Merah di buku ke-5.

Tidak perlu ragu lagi, inilah lambang dari cover not worth anything. :D

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Akhirnya di tengah medan perang, Sarasa mengetahui bahwa Shuri adalah Raja Merah, dan Shuri pun mengetahui bahwa Sarasa adalah Tatara! Padahal semalam mereka baru saja melewatkan malam bersama... Jadi, bagaimana dong lanjutannya? Malah bersambung lagi...

[Khari · Rating 5 out of 5]

嫌だもう。この巻もう最高だった。素晴らしくて悲しくて最高だった。

私は浅霧の事が全く勘違いした。彼の話はとても悲しかった。浅霧もうかわいそう。多分このシリーズの中にアゲハと浅葱が一番かわいそうな感じ。だから両方仲がいい。彼らは同じ種類だから。浅霧とアゲハの違いはアゲハは自分の暗みも話前に解決したんだけど浅霧はまだその進化途中。

それにしてもこの単行本は多分私の読む限り漫画の中で一番泣かせたの単行本。アゲハをようやく分かって彼の強さと優しさ犠牲的な性質は激しく伝われた。彼のように強くなりたい。自分選んだものを死ぬまでに守りたい。

今はスペースがないけどいつか自分の家がある時にこのシリーズを買いたい。

[Lord · Rating 5 out of 5]

In every good long manga series there is a volume later in the story that is a reward for sticking with one series for such a long time. In case of Basara, this is such a volume. And something tells me it might not be the last one.
