    Precious hidden gem

    Do not underestimate this show like I did. Its amazing to see Yona go from a naive, innocent, sheltered girl to a courageous and fearless soul for the sake of her friends. After losing everything and having a taste of the bitter reality of the situation in the Kingdom, Yona finds meaning in the turn of events. From being protected, to proactive. Willing to learn and change to protect her friends and her Kingdom. At first I thought it would be a cute, bubbly show. By the end of episode 1, the plot made a full turn and I enjoyed every minute of it. The soundtrack was soooo BEAUTIFUL !!! Also so much detail in the story (continues in the manga). A fantasy, adventure, with a handful of comic moments, sided with lots of feels. Love the relationship between Hak and Yona, and how they cherish other. Truly, this story is so dear to my heart. I read the manga and was thrilled to find they made an anime of it, they might even make season 2 (hopefully😭 even though I know whats gonna happen lol). Im looking forward to it! Please!!! // BTW // There's also an extra 3 episodes that you shouldn't miss!! (Akatsuki No Yona: sono se niwa or OVA)

    made me fall in love with many wonderful boys

    I swear I'm not gay, but the boys are just so wonderful.

    This technically qualifies as a reverse harem anime, but it is a good one. Yona is easy to relate to, yet strong, and serves as a great vessel for an idealized version of the viewer. The main supporting cast is full of wonderful boys. They will make the viewer think "why can't all men be like these guys?" they have a very diverse set of personalities, and the writers did a great job of making them all different from each other, without making any of them a person the viewer would want to avoid. Furthermore, their devotion to Yona makes perfect sense, given how wonderful she is. Of course she is no Mary Sue, and has plenty of flaws, internal conflict, and character growth.

    The narrative is driven by characters, setting, and conflict, as a good narrative should be in my opinion. There are plenty of minor supporting characters, as well as the main ones, and the conflict is ever present. Conflict can come out of anything from multiple characters who want to do the right thing, but having conflicting information from one another, to the occasional malevalent villain.

    The biggest problem with the show, however: it only shows the early parts of the story. The full story exists in a comic that the show was adapted from, but no one knows if the rest of the comic will be adapted. PLEASE WATCH THE SHOW! The more popular this story gets, the more likely we are to see an adaptation of the whole thing.

    best of best

    i was like before watching "yeah whatever will watch and blah blah blah " but when watched i was like "oh em ggggggg" .this anime is stupendobulously fantastic.its not like of those boring shoujo mangas in fact it has all a anime lover wants to see.i thought the girl will be fragile and flirty type but yona is surprisingly a strong girl and kind of reminds me of kagome of inuysha.the anime is filled with handsome sexy boys n they r not those usual but so strong and handsome u will go crazy over them.even the main villain is supposed to carry our hate part but even that ain't happening.i finished it within 3 days as i was like "now what will happen next and next".it ended i m sad .hope there will be a season 2 soon ...pls goooood kami samaaaaa
