Basara Manga AMV / MMV - Come Clean (Hilary Duff)

SPOILER WARNING! (Big time! I mean it!)

+ Basic Story Premise:
When twin brother and sister, Tatara and Sarasa, are born, a seer declares while standing before both of them, "This is the child of destiny, who will bring peace and an end to the reign of the Red King." Hearing of the prophecy, the Red King searches for the child and years later finds Sarasa's village, where he publicly executes the boy child Tatara. Desperate to protect her people and their hope, Sarasa comes forward, dressed as Tatara, and announces that the Red King has killed the wrong twin. Thus, Sarasa lives as her brother, but at those times when she cannot hide the fact that she is female, she always seems to run into the alluring young man Shuri. He has no idea that she is the rebel leader Tatara... And Sarasa has no idea that Shuri is the Red King. But they can't discover the truth until they're close enough to kill...
__________

+ Manga:
"Basara," by Yumi Tamura

Video images are from the Japanese version, but the books are also available in English.
__________

+ Song:
"Come Clean," by Hilary Duff
__________

+ Inspiration:
Mekkyi's "Battle Royale" MMV (spoilers):

The video has super cool style that's easy to appreciate and enjoy even without knowing anything about "Battle Royale," and the song "Stranger" is also by Hilary Duff.

+ Notes:
This is my first attempt at an AMV/MMV, and I tried really hard to do both this incredible manga and song justice, so please be gentle with me.

Images edited in Adobe Photoshop 7.0 and compiled in Microsoft Windows Movie Maker (XP version). (Thank you, all you wonderful YouTube AMV tutorials!!)

Hope you enjoy!
