The art is pretty but the story is ugly. The general idea is interesting and has potential but is poorly executed. Understand that this is not for the faint-hearted or squeamish. While I have read some pretty hardcore manga like Gantz or Berserk or Battle Royale those were more action-oriented while this is just plain disturbing and depressing. Rather than drive the plot or character development I find the scenes of sexual violence simply exploitative, not in any sense of titilation but rather it seems the author is merely trying to shock the reader. That's not to say it isn't shocking, it is, but unfortunately this overshadows anything else of interest within the work to the point where when I try to recall something from Bradherley no Basha I cannot remember a single character or plot point. I would recommend only if you're the sort of person like myself who has a morbid interest in exploring the evil of mankind, otherwise there is little this manga can offer.
