blairlovesbooks 's review for:
Yona of the Dawn, Vol. 1
by Mizuho Kusanagi
I refrained from giving this book a star rating because I am not a manga fan, however I wanted to sort out my thoughts with a review.
First, the art is very spirited and imbued with an incredible sense of movement. It was occasionally hard to follow the threads of the story, but it’s highly possible that’s mostly due to my own unfamiliarity with the format.
Secondly, the characters are a bit cartoonish (and yes this is a drawn medium but you know what I mean). They were very one-dimensional and their actions were pretty predictable. The dynamic was obvious from the beginning. I would’ve loved more depth.
Lastly, I HATED the random unrelated asides from the author. What does your opinion on salad have to do with the story at hand?! This may be common practice in the genre and if it is, it only cements the fact that this isn’t for me.
I’m happy I branched out and gave this genre a serious try, but it’s not for me.
