Even though the story is not anything beyond normal, each character has a different development in the story that makes it more complicated and scheming.Ībout graphics, it's a very good seinen art. Others want to stain it and sometimes they have to make difficult decision between love and loyalty. The love of the msin characters maintains strong and pure, althought the Even if they had to serve to their lord, they have feelings and ulterior motives to keep in their sides and fight. It shows you an old Japan, where samurais and specially ninja still exist. The first thing I like about Basilisk is story. It has a fantastic story which shows love can overcome anything, but the path the couple have to follow is a bloody and hard way. Overall, this is a worth read taking a 7.5 for me.īasilisk is a manga that reveals honor, loyalty, cleverness and abilities of the ancient ninjas, with some awesome and unique power in each character. Though the romance was somehow a bit of a cliche but can catch few tragedy fans. This manga feeds readers with bunch of ninja actions, well defined battle scenes and tactics. But as I said before the story is similar to the Romeo and Juliet and even the characters are in one way or another, alike: The manga design including character, background and battle scene was somewhat appreciated by seinen readers, dark, bloodyĭiffinition of each character is more on their ninjutsu (ninja ability). Thus starts the war between these groups. The two intended to marry to stop the fues between their groups and create peace but in certain circumstances, greed for power, the thirst for blood and drive for vengeance can't be stopped as such thruce can't wipe away hatred. It isn't too long so anyone that is looking for a nice quick read and is a fan of ninjas and Japanese history should read this manga.īasilisk is a Seinen, Action, Romance filled with sword fighting, ninja skills and psychological battles enough to satisfy Samurai fans out there.īasilisk reminds me of the Shakespearian classical tragedy Romeo and Juliet, two people from two rivalled clans falling in love. I was able to finish it in about two hours. My personal favorite character was Kisaragi Saemon. Every character shows different feeling to different things and every one of them has a special power that you can't wait to see. You will like at least one of them by the end of the manga. Every character is so special and different from the rest. Now to my favorite part of this manga, the characters. The artwork is very realistic and it feels like your watching the anime and not reading the manga. It's a manga that makes you visualize every fight scene and it makes it look great. It sticks to this all the way untill the finish of the manga. Other than the fact that these two clans fight to the death to see who would become the new shogun of Japan there's isn't much to the story. The Iga and Kouga clan are the two clans that take their differences to the battlefield in this exciting manga.įirst of all I basically told you the story plots in my introduction. When you have two rival clans that hate the living guts out of each other your bound to get a blood spilling manga, and that's exactly what Basilisk is. Will the two clans be consumed by hatred or will love change their destinies? With a unique art style, Basilisk: Kouga Ninpouchou is a compelling tale of feud and violence. As preparations for the war ensues, Gennosuke questions his loyalties while Oboro refuses to fight. However, unlike typical arranged marriages, they were already deeply in love. Gennosuke of Kouga and Oboro of Iga were to be married in hopes of ensuring lasting peace. Thus, the truce is revoked and the ruthless bloodshed begins.īut not all approve the truce’s end. Selected to represent the respective candidates, the Kouga and Iga send 10 of their best fighters into a deadly battle, with the winning party deciding the rightful successor. But years later, when former shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa faces a dispute to determine which of his two grandsons shall succeed their father, he decides to settle the matter through a proxy war. EditSynopsis The Kouga Manjidani and the Iga Tsubagakure ninja clans have been sworn enemies for centuries, with only the Hanzo Hattori truce maintaining a tenuous peace between the two families.
