Yona of the Dawn Manga Enters Final Arc

Yona of the Dawn Manga Enters Final ArcYona of the Dawn, the long-running fantasy epic from Mizuho Kusanagi, has entered its final arc. That’s the word from Kusanagi on X.

Yona of the Dawn launched in 2009, and there are currently 44 volumes in Japan. Our own Danica Davidson described the art as “beautiful” and called the first volume a “good start to what looks like an exciting series.” In May, it won an award from Rakuten in celebration of its status as a long-selling manga series.

The manga has inspired an anime series and several stage adaptations. Here’s how Viz Media describes it:

A red-haired princess loses her family and her kingdom… Now she must rise and fight for her throne!

Princess Yona lives an ideal life as the only princess of her kingdom. Doted on by her father, the king, and protected by her faithful guard Hak, she cherishes the time spent with the man she loves, Su-won. But everything changes on her 16th birthday when tragedy strikes her family!

Yona reels from the shock of witnessing a loved one’s murder and having to fight for her life. With Hak’s help, she flees the palace and struggles to survive while evading her enemy’s forces. But where will this displaced princess go when all the paths before her are uncertain?
