4.0

I stumbled upon the anime adaptation of Akatsuki no Yona and binged all 24 episodes in a weekend. I couldn't wait to find out what happened next, so I decided to tackle the manga and in typical completionist mode, I'm starting at the beginning.

Since I already know what's going to happen (and the anime was a surprisingly accurate adaptation, I would say 90% of it is exactly the same), I don't want to say too much in my early reviews, but I adore this series.

There are lots of great characters and I'm finding it the perfect mix of serious, witty and ridiculous. Definitely glad I found this series!

mourning the hak/yona/su won trio we could have had and hak/yona literally the best ship and it’s only the second volume

 I’m absolutely in love with this series—it truly deserves all the attention! Vol. 2 builds on the fantastic foundation of the first volume, delivering an even more engaging story 

Yona’s character growth shines in this volume as she starts to find her strength, determined to protect herself and Hak. The plot picks up seamlessly, diving deeper into the struggles of the characters as Hak and Yona hide out, face danger, and find help in unexpected places. The art remains breathtaking, capturing every emotional and action-packed moment beautifully.

This series has it all, and I’m eagerly looking forward to seeing where the journey takes Yona next!
