October 9, 2025“Everyone shut up my show is on” is how I feel about this series :’)) more than 10 years after I watched the show/started reading the series, it’s coming to an end and is in its final arc now.
I think this is the only manga I’ve kept up with for this long (cycles of binge reading, then waiting years for more chapters to come out, then binge reading again). I truly love the characters and Yona as the protagonist. I’d collect this whole series if I could.
Note to self: I actually read chapters 240-273. I just wanted to log it here with the move recent volume published right now.

What an absolute joy this series has been. I’ve read ahead to what the next volumes would be but now have to wait until October for it to all be released 😭 great plot, wonderful characters, and engaging storytelling. I adored every minute of this.

EL FINAL!!?? I'M GONNA SCREAM
Read
October 27, 2025this volume honestly felt like it kissed a brick before hurling it straight at me. i’m in absolute shambles. i don’t even know what to feel right now. i have a personal issue if they don’t get their happy ending. i was literally crying toward the end. i know we’re nearing the finale and if they don’t get the ending they deserve, i’ll make it my personal mission to hunt those creators down. i can’t wait for november ᯓ★
please come faster
i need to know how it ends. i love them all so much it’s unreal. it genuinely feels like i have a bond with them.
i first read the very first volume about two years ago and i also watched the anime, so picking it up again now feels kind of emotional. i’m honestly so grateful that i did ♡ it’s been such a beautiful journey. i started reading three days ago—from volume 9—and now i’m already at volume 46. this series completely consumed me. it’s brilliant. i love it so much i can hardly put it into words. i’m beyond excited to see how it all wraps up, but at the same time, i don’t want it to end. still, i think it’s time. yona of the dawn has been running for years and we all deserve closure. i’m endlessly thankful for this journey.

I’m sad this story is over 😭 I will miss the whole crew

Rating for the whole manga (minus the last two chapters that haven’t come out yet). Love that this story was basically romantasy in manga form. It’s a crime that the anime wasn’t renewed after one season

This might be my absolute favorite Akatuski no Yona volume to date. This is, to me, the peak of what this manga ever was. I can’t tell you how much each chapter had me on the edge of my seat, how I consumed every page because I was terrified of reading the next yet I couldn’t wait one more second before knowing what would happen. After losing my love for AkaYona for a few volumes, it feels so good to finally being able to enjoy it at its fullest again.
The story reaches its climax, as Yona is giving everything she has to save the four dragons from their terrible fate. Each character is offered terrible choices to make, and it was incredible to see actively choose not to pick. It is so unbelievably intense, and the drawings convey this feeling of anxiety so well with the designs of the Dragon Gods. The bond of everyone together—Yona, the Dragons, Hak, Soowon—will shine the strongest it ever did, through the utter devotion they have for one another, and how they’re ready to do everything to save the others. Yet, it is still very much heartbreaking, because each page feels like we get closer to the very end, and I know some characters won’t survive it.

Book: Yona of the Dawn, Vol. 46
Author: Mizuho Kusanagi
Rating: 4 Out of 5 Stars
I know the English isn’t out yet, but having a subscription to the manga has been a life-changer. I am still really enjoying this series, and I cannot believe that it is almost over. I cannot wait to see how things are going to play out.
I am going to try to keep my review as spoiler-free as possible, but since this is the forty-sixth volume in a series, there may be spoilers for earlier volumes.
This one picks right up where Volume Forty-Five left off. In this one, four dragon warriors are drawn into the mystical realm of the Chalice of the Four Dragons, summoned by the Dragon Gods who seek to reclaim the soul of the original Crimson Dragon King. Torn away from Yona and Hak, Kija, Shin-ah, Jaeha, and Zeno each find themselves isolated in this divine domain. Although Zeno initially resolves to defy the gods to protect his companions, he is swiftly overwhelmed, while the other dragon warriors are captured and stripped of their powers. With their abilities sealed and their physical bodies taken over, the dragons face their most terrifying trial yet—one that threatens not only their bond with Yona but their very existence.
After more than forty volumes, Yona of the Dawn continues to astonish with its emotional depth. Vol. 46 may be one of the most devastating entries yet. The emotional impact does not come only from the plot twist of the four dragon warriors being drawn into the world of the Chalice of the Four Dragons. It also comes from the way this crisis highlights just how far these characters have come since the beginning of the series.
Yona’s growth remains the beating heart of the narrative. She began as a sheltered princess who possessed courage in spirit but very little experience. Her journey has shaped her into a leader who carries both compassion and responsibility with remarkable steadiness. Her connection with the four dragons no longer relies on fate or prophecy. It now stands on shared trials, mutual respect, and genuine affection. This volume places that bond under a painful spotlight as the dragons are torn away from her. The worry and determination that Yona shows reveal how deeply she values them as individuals who have chosen to stay at her side.
The four dragons themselves, Kija, Shin-ah, Jaeha, and Zeno, demonstrate meaningful growth that makes their suffering in this arc especially troubling. They began as protectors who answered an ancient calling. Their years with Yona have transformed them into a true family. Watching them lose their powers and face the threat of having their very identities taken from them creates a sense of sorrow that lingers long after the chapter ends. This volume feels like the saddest and most worrisome instalment in the series so far, largely because readers have witnessed their personal struggles and triumphs for so long.
Kusanagi’s artwork heightens every moment. The ethereal look of the gods’ realm contrasts beautifully with the raw expressions of fear, determination, and grief on the characters’ faces. Her talent for conveying emotion through subtle lines and quiet panels gives the story a cinematic intensity. The detailed environments and fluid action scenes continue to showcase why this series remains one of the most visually impressive in its genre.
This one stands as a powerful culmination of years of character development, reaching a critical turning point. The volume is gripping, beautifully illustrated, and emotionally overwhelming in a way that longtime fans will feel deeply.

There will be SPOILERS in this review!
This is probably the last review of Yona of the Dawn I’ll write in 2025 because the manga is now on hiatus until October… HUUUH????? What do you mean October? It’s not like you write one chapter every week? Look, I’m all for authors taking breaks when they’re overwhelmed but Yona is coming out once a month now (if) so I’m sorry if a 3-month break sounds like a bit much when we’re this close to the manga finishing. The ending of this series better be good if we need to wait this long for new chapters.
But anyway, let’s talk about the volume itself before I lose my mind.
This one pretty much revolves around the dragons and how they want Yona to stay with them and you know what? These dragons fucking suck (except you, yellow dragon, you can stay). I mean, I’m sorry but Yona is trying to convince them in so many different ways to let her and her friends go but they aren’t listening in the slightest. I know that they miss the crimson dragon king but Yona is not him and never will be. How can they not see that? Are they this dense? She is just trying to set them free from the dragon warriors but they just don’t listen. So yeah, I don’t like them and they’re annoying and I hope they go away soon so we can end this manga.
Yona is great in this volume. She is really fighting for her friends to get them back to Earth and also wants to set the dragons free. But of course they don’t listen and try to take her away from the dragon warriors (thankfully, we have the only sane dragon - the yellow dragon - helping her).
But you know what the worst part of this is? These idiot dragons threaten to kill Hak if Yona doesn’t go with them. My man Hak who just wants to be with her and help her and oh no he can’t die. If he dies, this series is dead to me. But Hak is also the star of this volume (obviously) because he asks Yona to FUCKING MARRY HIM. Honestly, amazing. This what I wanted and I needed it and now they have to make it out alive because otherwise I will find you, Kusanagi, and I will not be gentle.
Oh, another thing I love is that the dragon warriors are back and their banter is amazing as always. I missed them so much.
So yeah, I have no idea how to rate this because it has so many ups and downs. I guess I’ll give it 4 stars because sorry, I find the dragons too annoying to give it 5. You can thank my man Hak for having such a high rating though.

After 16 incredible years, Yona of the Dawn has officially come to an end. What began as a fantasy romance grew into one of the most honest, powerful stories with some of the strongest character development I’ve ever followed
my favorite shōjo of all time.
From Yona’s growth, to Hak’s unwavering loyalty, to the unbreakable bond of the Four Dragon Warriors, this series became more than just a manga. It was a companion through the years.
With over 15 million copies sold across 46 volumes, its legacy is forever etched in shōjo history.
And just as we say goodbye to the manga… ✨ the anime sequel is officially in production. ✨ After all this time, Yona, Hak, and the Dragons are returning to the screen for the fans who have waited so long
Thank you, Mizuho Kusanagi, for 16 years of magic, growth, pain, hope, and unforgettable characters.
Yona of the Dawn will always be special.

AMOO akatsuki no yona, la evolución de cada personaje, el debate interno de saber que lo que hizo Sowoon era lo mejor pero la manera en que destrozó a las personas que más confiaban en él… también entiendo esa parte y llegue a pensar en que fue lo mejor para Yona sin embargo en unas de las últimas conversaciones de Hak con So me dejó pensando y es verdad. Ninguno de nosotros vio el potencial de Yona que tarde o temprano iba a salir sin necesidad de que So le arruinara la vida pero después regresó a que las formas de Il no fueron las correctas y a decir verdad nunca me agradó. Muy difícil y todavía no lo comprendo del todo.
Solo debo de decir que los amooo a todos, incluso a ti Sowoon

Podría explayarme en muchas cosas, pero estos capítulos son puro corazón. Todo lo de Zeno con los demás, el mismo dragón amarillo, los conflictos de Yona, todo. No hay nada que no sea sacado de las emociones de los personajes. Pero si tenemos que hablar de alguien es Hak, es definitivamente el hombre definitivo, si estaba en la quemada y no sabía que más decir, va y le tira matrimonio. Realmente es un volumen que quizá como explicación no basta, pero es tan emotivo todo y amo tanto a los personajes que disfruto mucho sus interacciones, y no quiero que nada malo les pase.

¿Cómo explicar el amor que le tengo a esta historia en palabras? Es imposible. La verdad es que en cada tomo la conexión que uno va formando con la historia, con los personajes es única. Y es tan profunda que cuando Akatsuki no yona llegue a su fin va a ser un gran vacío existencial.
Estamos a un tomo (en realidad a un capítulo) para que conozcamos el final de esta inmensa, maravillosa, atrapante y tremenda historia. No quiero soltar, pero saben que lo más lindo? Que siempre podemos volver a visitar el manga y rememorar lo increíble que es Mizuho Kusanagi.

Un toque pedante y repetitivo este tomo. Y en general este último arco se sintió raro y un poco trabado a como se sentían los otros. Cómo que no fluyó de la misma manera, muchas vueltas. mucho decir y desdecir. Sin embargo eso no quita que estoy esperando el último tomo CON UNA INTENSIDAD que no puedo empezar a explicar. Además Hak y sus líneas finales, te lo pido por Yisus.

Introduced to this series in 2021 and it's finally reaching its end. Some of my favorite characters and character relationships ever; all against an epic fantasy backdrop with a protagonist who we get to watch grow up to earn the responsibilities she was born with.
Yona is one of my big 3.

ま、最後のシーンはよかったけど、他の全部はあまり進行しなかった。次の巻は大物になると思う。
