    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)

    Please come back for another season!

    I really really liked this anime! After finishing though I am left with a lot of questions and anticipation. There is no real word that this show is coming back but I have learned with anime that you need the patience of saint. We have to wait for a long period of time for more but 90% of the time we are not left disappointed! You will love the characters and watching this unique group come together!

    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.

    Adventure, fantasy, romance

    After the betrayal of her beloved cousin Su-won, Princess Yona is forced to flee the palace only with Hak, who is both her childhood friend and bodyguard. After meeting the Oracle, they set on finding four guys who inherited dragons' blood to help her survive. During her journey, she soon discovers that her kingdom is not the idyllic place she was lead to believe and starts doing some things to change that.

    I absolutely love this anime. Yona especially is evolving a lot throughout the season and her character arch from helpless girl to badass warrior is absolutely amazing. There are also sparks of romance in the air, from both Hak, her loyal and extremely hot bodyguard, and Su-won, the handsome cousin who is a guy you just gotta love to hate and hate to love (at first you might just think he's a villain, but it turns out it's far more complicated than this). I highly, highly recommend this if you like watching people fight and struggle but also create bonds and relationships that last a lifetime. Best way to categorize this masterpiece would be as an adventurous fantasy romance. It certainly gives you chills, in a good way, and toys with your emotions. I highly recommend watching.

    PS: The squirrel eating meat and fish was creepy though. I don't know why they had to do it. I don't remember this being the case in the manga. I mean, it's a freaking squirrel. Give him some nuts instead.
