5/5 stars
This series has been a 5 out of 5 since the begining. I'm going to miss Yona and Hak and all the dragons so much. But I think it has a beautiful ending for this amazing story

I was so surprised to see that this is the last volume of the series; I wasn't expecting that.
Originally, I couldn't decide if I liked it or nor. That sudden knowledge that the manga was about to end left me unmoored, it felt like there were too many things still in need of being resolved, and the allotted amount of time for them was running out. I'm glad to say, that the ending felt quite satisfying.
And yet, saying that is misleading because, in all truthfulness, I would have gladly taken another 50 chapters with these characters, even if the plot was as thin as paper by then.
I can, even if I tried, not remember earlier volumes, and seeing how far each of the characters has come makes me emotional. It's been a long, arduous journey to get here, but every second of it was absolutely precious.
By the end, I can say without a doubt that Yona and Hak both stole my heart, but it is Yona, our beautifully strong titular character, who deserves the shout-out for all that she accomplish through her hard-won and eventful imposed adventures. We've been through a lot, and seeing us here is nothing if not the best ending possible.

This was such an amazing manga and journey, and I’m glad that everyone got a happy ending and that even Su-won ended up still being alive and well (tho I still have mixed feelings about him). The art was amazing throughout the story and I really loved the way Yona’s character grew stronger each chapter and turned into a badass woman.
It’s sad to see the (former) dragon warriors leave Yona’s side, but to see them trying to reconcile with their past and that they decided to visit their village was nice to see. Also I ship Hak and Yona so much, so I’m glad he always stays by her side.
I’m also so glad that season 2 has been announced and excited to see them on screen again 🥰

counting this as my review for the entire series.
what a gem of a manga. it's the first shoujo series i've read and i am so obsessed!! the romance between yona and hak was so excellently done, the story arcs were amazing, and the found family especially means soo much to me. i love the happy hungry bunch more than words can describe😭💗😭💗😭💗 i haven't had a manga affect me this much since PEAKYUU aka my fav manga oat
this series is genuinely so special and all the characters (especially the female characters) were written so well. i do think that 1) yoon could have been developed a bit further/gotten more screen time in the last arc, 2) there could have been 1-2 more chapters for wrapping things up, and 3) there were definitely some weak points in the story (more to do w pacing imo) but it's still so worth your time. the earlier arcs especially, like sei and the water tribe are some of the most fun i've had reading manga!
9/10 stars. HAPPY HUNGRY BUNCH FOREVER!!

There will be SPOILERS in this review!
Well, I finally know what to include in the review of this volume. I feels like I read the chapters ages ago so I will have to rely on my notes, but yeah it feels like no one really knows what is going on with the last two volumes of the manga now that it ended. I really hope that this list of chapters was accurate so that I don’t say too much.
So first of all, Hak kinda fucking dies in here. Like, what? How dare you Kusanagi? It was literally traumatizing and then the manga was on a break for 3 fucking months so it was really just infuriating. And then my bro was just vibing with one of the dragon gods in the afterlife I guess because he had no body to get back to or something. He’ll come back though so that’s fine but still, you can’t do this to me. It’s not funny. Oh and he is the shield which is cute.
Also Su-won actually helps a lot in this volume so that’s something. I still hate this little bitch but I guess he did get his redemption. Like, I do appreciate that he was ready to sacrifice himself for Yona and Hak but it still doesn’t excuse his actions. Honestly, I was hoping so much the entire time that he would just die.
We also get some Yona and Hak moments that are just wholesome. I am obsessed with how much he loves her and wants to protect her but I also appreciate how loyal he is to the dragons. He really doesn’t want to lose them (the warriors I mean, not the dragons themselves). Oh and I have to mention how I love everyone being there for Zeno when he wants to give up. It’s nice and wholesome.
Anyway, these last few chapters are actually kinda confusing. It just feels like Kusanagi didn’t have everything figured out (hmmm… I wonder what that 3 month break was for?) and then she kinda rushed everything just so she could wrap this long series up. I’m giving this 3 stars because yes, it has some great moments but then again I do feel like some things come out of nowhere or just exist for convenience so yeah. I am looking forward to the bonus chapters though so I can’t wait to actually write the review for the last volume, that being volume 48.

Review of advance copy
Akatsuki no Yona is a manga that I completely fell in love with a decade ago. During these 10 years, there are times I hated it, where it annoyed me, but to its core it’s a manga that brought me a lot of comfort. I can't say it’s perfect, but it’s one that was part of my life for so long I feel like I grew a little bit with the characters. I was absolutely terrified to read its conclusion, but the author managed to write what is one of the best volumes of the manga as its finale.
The intensity of the plot is through the roof, as our beloved characters are giving everything in order to save each other. Up until the climax, I had no idea if all of them would manage to survive, and what would be the cost of it all. Each chapter brought beautifully drawn action scenes and very good conclusions for the character development, that made it very hard to wait for the next release.
The ending itself is very satisfying, as everything is brought to how it should be. I was so scared it would feel rushed, or too easy, but it came to be as the natural conclusion of a decade long struggle. It’s bittersweet, but it’s so full of hope, and isn't that the core of AkaYona itself?
Ultimately I’m so grateful to have had this story in my life for so long. I’m thankful to have fallen in love with Soowon, who will always stay as one of my favorite characters. I can only applaud the author for maintaining such high quality for so long. I’m so happy I’ll get to rediscover this manga with the continuation of the anime. And I will always be recommending this story to others, for years and years to come.

I cannot explain the conflicting emotions I am feeling with letting go 😅 I’ve followed this manga since it began in 2009 and I’ve delayed reading the last few chapters, unable to accept letting go of Yona. I loved growing up alongside Yona seeing her go from a defenseless princess to such a powerful leader. I almost regret not keeping in time with its biweekly release in its final arc, but having one war after another was exhausting, like give them a breeeaaak. Let the Thunder Beast heal! But I am so happy the boys become freed of their bonds and can start living a normal life - Shin-Ah and Zeno especially deserve it fufufufu \(߹𖥦߹ \ ). Anyway, so excited for season 2 and I really hope the entire series gets adapted - probably won’t but one can dream.
Review of advance copy
The ending itself felt a bit cold after everything they went through, but the arc itself is very cool and I liked where most of the pieces ended up. I wish we had a bit more time for the falling action, but it's been so long that I understand the creator needed to wrap it up. And I wish some things had been more permanent and/or explored more. Regardless, this series will always be close to my heart and I'm very grateful for the effort and love Kusanagi poured into it throughout the years.

Serán 5⭐ porque es una gran historia. Pero me molesta muchísimo el que la editorial haya apresurado y eliminado muchas partes del último capítulo, AkaYona se merecía finalizar por lo alto. Espero que los caps especiales sean de lo mejor.
草凪先生、ありがとうございました！！

A great journey to the end
**Good job***
Spoilers…
That was surprising dragons left her to their own journeys at the end
And although I enjoyed the series, it felt like the very last chapters where just filled with informational texts instead of story telling

I can't believe it's over!
This manga has made me cry, smile and laugh for years and I'm both happy and sad to reach the end. It has been a beautiful and trying journey but I couldn't have hoped for a better finale. If only we could have seen Yona's wedding it would be perfect! 🥺
The author has done a terrific job up until the end and this will remain as one of my favourite mangas for years to come. Thank you for giving us such a wholesome yet bittersweet ending! We readers have all suffered and enjoyed with our dear characters up until now. This was such a satisfying ride.
