Yona of the Dawn, vol 19

Today's post is on Yona of the Dawn, vol 19 by Mizuho Kusanagi. It is 192 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has Sinha and Ao in it. As it is the nineteenth in the series, you need to have read the first eighteen to understand the story. The intended reader is someone who likes shojo manga, epic storylines, and fantasy themes. The story if told from third person close of the main characters, moving as the story needs. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- While preparing to set up camp, Sinha comes across a stone statue of a dragon in the forest. When the statue's mouth starts to close down on Ao, Sinha slices it open and unintentionally releases an ominous spirit! How will Yona and her friends handle the ensuing havoc?

Review- This is story is really about other blue dragon's who waited for the crimson dragon to return and died before Yona was born. The blue dragon just wants to be free and move on but he is trapped by his desire to meet Yona. When she finds him in Sinha's body, she helps him and the other blue dragon's find peace. The second half is continuing the story about the drug trade in the Water country. Most of the this volume is about the dragon's longing for the crimson dragon and how that effects their whole lives and even into their deaths. It was sad to see them still sufferings and longing for Yona. This volume was pleasant if a bit sad and I look forward to reading the next volume. 

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.
