Basara has been described (including by its English-translation editor) as a highly Shakespearean story.Within the manga, Sasara undergoes extreme psychological strain for having to pretend to be a boy. As such, she often visits hot springs to 'let her hair down.' During these visits, she runs into a mysterious figure called "Shuri," and they both fall in love with each other.Unknown to Sasara, "Shuri" is really the Red King. The Red King is also unaware of the fact that Sasara, in her alter ego, is the rebel leader he is trying to kill. As the story progresses, the two's relationship deepens as their struggle becomes more bloody.
