March 5, 2025reading yona for the past 7 volumes has been the equivalent of being dragged through the mud and beaten up repeatedly then being tenderly held and pulled up and dusted off only to be roundhouse kicked Once again please let them be happy i beg

My heart is beating so fast as I finish the last pages of this volume. This is truly some of the best chapters we ever had in AkaYona. The intensity, the uncertainty, the heartbreak, it makes for the most terrifying path to the ending. And it is insanely good storytelling.
Yona and Zeno confront each other in the saddest fight, as we see more and more of what Zeno truly wanted all this time. But it is the one thing Yona will never give to him: his death. Zeno is such a complex and interesting character, and them entering the Dragon Gods realm together will completely change him, I’m sure of it.
The Dragon Gods are written with the frightening aura of beings outside of humanity’s bounds who have lived for thousands of years. So yes, they are absolutely terrifying. Seeing Yona confront them in this dreamlike space was really interesting, and I really wonder if she will manage to escape alongside the Dragon Warriors. The end is very close, yet very far.
My favorite part of the volume had to be when Hak and Soowon met each other. The way Soowon ran to the castle the moment he learned Hak and Yona were in danger cements him as my favorite character of all times. No matter the years and the rivalry between them, Hak and Soowon will always move in sync, their thoughts clear parallels of each other. They care so much, so deeply, for each other and for Yona. Their friendship will be the bound that will save the Dragons, I’m sure of it. I just pray that Soowon doesn't lose his life in the process.

Voy a pegarme cinco tiros en el pecho.

Am I dead? Been suffering for major convulsions from screaming, crying, and repeatedly throwing up. I feel the same as Zeno. Please kill me now. This has been nothing but heartbreak, despair, and grief shoved in my mouth. I can’t help myself anymore… but I’m thirsting after tearing through each pages as fast as I can…

If you've been following my feed for a while, you'll already know that I love Yona of the Dawn. I've been invested in every arc, every character and every bit of lore - and every single time that I think that we've hit the final arc, I've been wrong. Until now, that is. Because this arc really feels like endgame, as it wraps up something that I didn't even think to concern myself with, and it honestly surprised me in a good way.
To be fair, the final arc started a volume or two ago (my memory is a little fuzzy on the specifics of which volume), but it's ramping up quite nicely to set the stage for a sequence of events that could really spell the difference between landing the ending to an epic manga series smoothly or with a few bumps along the way. As someone who would die for any of these characters and their individual arcs (and who wants a certain relationship to become more than it currently is), I am, as always, fascinated by the turns this story takes and eager to find out what should happen next after the events of this volume.

IM FINALLY CAUGHT UP. time to wait two weeks for every chapter 😭 good thing we’re on the final arc

The problem with only reading manga when it officially releases in English translation in physical copies is that I waited months for this volume, and now I have to sit on that massive cliffhanger until MOTHERFUCKING JULY 😭😭😭😭

Gojo and Geto’s friendship breakup is nothing compared to Hak and Soo Won.

"Will you die if it's me holding the blade?"
That line gave me chills. This volume was so intense, mainly with Zeno and Yona. I have faith, though, that ultimately all the dragons will survive alongside Yona, Hak and Yun.
The tension between Hak and Su-Won is still present and lingering. Now they have to band together to find Yona and Zeno.
I can't wait to read the next volume.

January 18, 2025Entering the final arc of this beautiful adventure. I hope the dragon warriors and Yona manage to make it out of the chalice and that Su-won doesn’t hit the bucket before he gets to properly say goodbye to Yona and name her his heir.
Also please let Zeno die, dude just wants to rest and deservingly so.

Finally caught up. This one has had me in a choke hold for so long. I still adore it, and this has to be some of the best writing of the entire series. My main issue is this final arc is moving at a snails pace. It's dragging a bit for me lol. I'm in it to the end though. I live here now...

Vraiment je ne me lasserai jamais de cette œuvre de génie. Même après 45 tomes Kusanagi est toujours aussi intelligente et incroyable dans ses intrigues. Les arcs, se terminent dans quelques tomes, j'ai déjà hâte et mal d'y penser. 🤧🥹

Zeno me rompió el corazón, sólo quiero protegerlo. Lo entiendo, pero me dio tanta pena aaaaaaaaa

この巻は難しかった。ゼノの苦しみは深い。永遠に生きて友達を繰り返して失うのは考えないぐらい厳しい。どうやって彼を救うかな？頑張ってヨナ！

chef's kiss shoujo, everything I've ever wanted in a manga series. I can't believe it's ending soon T_T
December 25, 2024
The intensity in this volume was at all time high. I’ve been so attached to these characters for so long, it hurts my heart to realize the end is coming. This will always be one of my favorite series because the level of consistency and longevity throughout the years.

La fin approche, la fin approche et les tomes sont de plus en plus palpitants !
Je sais que cela a fait couler beaucoup d'encre sur les réseaux, mais je suis ravie de l'initiative de Pika de publier un collector avec un recueil d'images pour accompagner ce tome. C'est un artbook du même format que le manga mais l'autrice n'ayant pas non plus un trait dingue à la Takehiko Inoue pour n'en citer qu'un, cela ne m'a pas gênée. J'ai pris plaisir à admirer dans ce format les nombreuses images proposées même si certaines, en revanche, sont sorties un peu floues à l'impression...
Quant à l'histoire, oh mon dieu, cette histoire. On lâche la politique, ça c'est réglé depuis les derniers tomes. Et on s'intéresse à la mythologie des dragons et du roi Hiryu. L'autrice nous offre, je pense, tout ce qu'on pouvait s'attendre à espérer en tant que lecteurs : du drame, de l'émotion, des amitiés tiraillées, de la romance, n'en jetez plus ! Je me suis régalée avec ce tome, j'ai frissonné, palpité, tremblé et c'est une frustration extrême de ne pas avoir la suite.
Yona se confronte à Zeno, le plus vieux des dragons, l'immortel, celui qui connaît le mieux leur histoire et leur légende, celui qui a le plus de clés. C'est un moment déchirant, dramatique parfaitement mis en scène par l'autrice, qui a pris le temps de la faire revenir à la capitale avec Hak, de les faire croiser leurs amis et famille, pour mieux préparer ce final. Et quel moment ! C'est un vrai affrontement bouleversant comme on l'attend d'amis qui se déchirent voire où l'un d'eux semble trahir mais... Je n'en dirai pas plus.
Puis, il y a le renversement, le bouleversement... Je ne l'avais pas du tout vu venir et la réaction du témoin est si bien écrire, si juste, qu'elle nous prend aux tripes et nous émeut. C'est un déchirement qui resserre les liens, qui ouvre les écoutilles afin de pouvoir engager des conversations impensables autrefois. Un très beau moment entre deux personnages qu'on n'aurait pas cru pouvoir se réunir et se pauser ainsi, mais le drame rapproche. C'est juste superbe.
Je suis à court de mots. Mizuho Kusanagi m'apporte vraiment exactement ce que j'attendais et avais besoin dans cette phase finale de l'histoire. Elle enchaîne les étapes d'une main de maître, portant l'émotion avec justesse, tout comme elle met en scène les combats avec brio. Ce duel presque fratricide ici m'a déchirée le coeur et le final pour celui qui reste m'a bouleversée. Quelle magnifique écriture du drame en fantasy épique.
