I am still mad that the anime was left unfinished so I started reading the manga. I am sure that knowing future events influenced my rating of this first volume.  This story might look a bit generic at first and the reasons why I love it so much aren't all presented in here.

It is shown a little right from the start how having a pacifist king might not be a great idea even though Yona hasn't made contact with the people outside the palace yet to see exactly their opinion about the deceased king. 

In this volume only three of the main characters are introduced yet: Yona, Hak and Soo-Won. I love the relationship between these three so I really didn't mind to see the moments from their childhood. The love Yona had for Soo-Won only made the betrayal more painful. I also enjoyed Hak much more now than I did when I watched the anime.

Yona is still naive and spoiled throughout this volume and I can't wait to see her development and meet the rest of the cast again. I forgot some details since I watched the adaptation years ago.

Avaliação referente aos volumes 1-10

Pra mim, Akatsuki no Yona é um dos grandes exemplos de desenvolvimento de personagem. A Yona do volume 1 é uma menina que merece uns bons sopapos, e a gente só dá um desconto porque parte disso não é culpa dela (pai superprotetor e tals) e porque, bem, ela está vivendo uma situação traumática que claramente vai fazer ela acordar pra vida.
A Yona do volume 10 é uma pessoa maneira. Ela ainda não adquiriu toda a liderança e diplomacia que ela vai ter nos volumes seguintes, mas ela se tornou uma pessoa motivada a fazer a diferença, e está reunindo os recursos necessários para isso.

Sobre como a nossa visão muda ao longo de releituras: eu juro que as primeiras duas vezes que eu li esses volumes eu notei menos de 50% do subtexto romântico. Agora que estou lendo a 3a vez, 100% embarcada no ship, eu noto. TODAS AS INTERAÇÕES. Mas considerando que das primeiras vezes eu só peguei metade, não consigo acusar Yona de ser lerda. Ela só está com muitas coisas na cabeça kkk
