Today's post is on Yona of the Dawn, volume 5 by Mizuho Kusanagi. It is the fifth in her Yona of the Dawn series and you need to have read the first four volumes in order to understand the story. It is 192 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has Princess Yona and Gija on it. 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- An earthquake suddenly hits the Village of the Blue Dragon, and Yona and her friends are trapped! Will Yona manage to escape safely? And will the Blue Dragon join her on her journey? Meanwhile, Gija senses the presence of the Green Dragon!
Review- We finally get to met the Blue Dragon and he is so cool and very sweet. He has been very mistreated by his village, he does not even have a name, and Yona wants to save him from his lonely life. I knew that she would but I was so happy when the Blue Dragon decided to go with her. Yona names him Sinha and he is so happy to have his own name. We get to see more of Hak's devotion to Yona and doing anything again to keeping her safe. The Green Dragon is a lot of trouble both himself and what is going on around him. He is pirate and he wants Hak to join the crew to stop the local lord who is a bad guy. Yona is facing what her father's reign did the kingdom and how people were hurt by his weak rule. It hurts her to see her father from the outside but she wants to fix what is wrong in the kingdom so that people can have better lives. I like how much Yona is growing and is taking responsibility for herself, her kingdom, her father, and her future. She is a wonderful character and I really love this series so far.
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.
