Yona of the Dawn, vol 18

 

Today's post is on Yona of the Dawn, vol 18 by Mizuho Kusanagi. It is 192 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has Zeno up looking on it. As it is the eighteenth in the series, you need to have read the first seventeen to understand the story. The intended reader is someone who likes epic story lines, action shojo, and complex characters. There is no foul language, no sex, and some violence in this manga. The story is told in third person close of the main characters, moves as the story needs. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- A Kai Empire soldier fatally strikes Zeno, but he doesn't die! Yona and her friends are chocked by the Yellow Dragon's power as well as what he reveals about both his past and the Crimson Dragon King...

Review- This volume is very tightly focused on Zeno and his life. He is one of the original dragons who served the first Crimson Dragon King. Because of the Yellow Dragon's power, Zeno cannot die. He has lived alone for a long time with his dragon brothers and no Crimson Dragon to follow. Now that he has both again, Zeno will protect them at all costs. This volume is very tragic but it was so interesting to learn about Zeno, the other original dragons, and even see the first Crimson Dragon King. With that battle ending in the Kai Empire retreats from Zeno and I am curious about where the plot is going to head next. 

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.
