Today's post is on Yona of the Dawn, volume 4 by Mizuho Kusanagi. It is the fourth in her Yona of the Dawn series. It is 192 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has Princess Yona and Yoon hugging each other smiling. The intended reader is someone who likes epic high fantasy, shojo manga, and revenge plots. There is no foul language, no sex, but there is violence in this story. The story is told from third person close mostly of Yona but some from other characters to give insight into their thoughts and feelings. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book- While on a quest to find the Four Legendary Dragon Warriors, Yona and her friends meet Gija, the White Dragon. Gija uses his power to detect the other Dragons, but locating the Blue Dragon proves to be more difficult than expected, and the group runs into a string of disasters!
Review- With the White Dragon Gija, Yona and company start hunting for the next dragon. But of course is not smooth sailing. Hak does not want Gija, sees no need for him, Gijia wants nothing more than to serve Yona, thinks that Hak should get lost and they get into from there. The humor is a nice break from the dark backstory of murder and betrayal. The Blue Dragon's village is nothing like Gija's and he is an outcast, feared and hated for his dragon eyes. The poor guy has been alone for most of his life and has never had anyone to really stand by him. The previous Blue Dragon did what he could but it was harsh. I like where the story is going with Yona not being afraid to reach out to others and keep her open heart. Hak's funny without meaning to be with his mild jealously and Yona being so clueless about his feelings for her. It ends with a cliff hanger and I cannot wait to see how she is going to save the Blue Dragon.
I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
