Today's post is on Yona of the Dawn, volume 9 by Mizuhi Kusanagi. It is 192 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. As it is the ninth in the long running series you need to have read the first eight in the series to understand what is going on. The cover has Zona and Zeno on it. There is no foul language, no sex, and mild violence in this manga. The story id told from third person close of Yona with some from other characters to add to the overall narrative. There Be Spoiler Ahead.
From the back of the book- Zeno, the Yellow Dragon, joins Yona’s party, and now the Four Dragons are finally assembled! Yona and her friends head to Yun’s birthplace in the land of the Fire Tribe. The people in the area not only have to deal with famine, but are forced into poverty by heavy taxes. What measures will Yona and her friends take to protect the town from oppressive government officials?
Review- With all the dragons together, Yona now has to decide what to do but fate is on the move for her again. Yun goes to see from friends from a very poor village in the Fire Tribe and sees corrupt officials taking food from starving children and Yona cannot not do something. She wants to face the kingdom her father made and then do what she can to help. This volume is more about world-building than last few have been with seeing how the Fire Tribe is leading and what they are doing in their lands. We meet Lord Tae-Jun again and he is suffering from believing that he killed Yona. It will be interesting to see what happens when he sees her again. Good volume and I cannot wait to see more.
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.
