Yona of the Dawn, volume 10

This post is on Yona of the Dawn, volume 10 by Mizuho Kusanagi.  It is 192 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat.   the cover has Yona and Lord Tae-jun on it. As it is the 10th volume in the long-running series you need to have read the first nine to understand the story. There is no foul language, no sexuality and no violence in this volume.Story is told I'm third person close of the different characters. There Be Soilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- Yona and her friends have taken to calling themselves bandits and have been protecting Fire Tribe villages from cruel government officials. Meanwhile, Kang Tae-jun, the Fire Tribe chief’s second son, goes to Katan Village with orders to eliminate the bandits there. He still believes that he’s killed Yona—but suddenly, he hears her voice! What will happen when they come face-to-face again?

Review-  Another excellent volume in the long-running series. Yona and Company are trying to help the very poor villages in the fire tribe region, but they are starting to get the attention of the local government officials. In the last volume Lord Tae-jun thought he heard Yona’s voice and he became obsessed with seeing if she was still alive. This volume is character development for him. and he has a long way to go but by the end of the volume he's starting to look like he might actually be a useful ally to Yona and her friends. Even though this will cause problems with his father, Tae-jun genuinely cares for Yona and feels terrible that he caused her any harm and is starting to change is trying to become a better person. He still has a long way to go but he is at least trying which is more than we can say for his father and older brother. Yona is still trying to figure out how to make amends for her father's lax rule though it pains her to see how he failed as a king, she is starting to really move past that, to embrace the father he was but see his failures as a king. The volume ends with the Happy Hungry Bunch going somewhere else to try and find a crop that will grow in the fire tribe lands. I look forward to seeing where they're going and what they find when they get there. 

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.
