Average Rating

Princess Yona lives a life of luxury and ease, completely sheltered from the problems of the seemingly peaceful Kingdom of Kouka; however, the sudden murder of the king and betrayal of her beloved cousin Su-won places Yona's life in mortal peril. Forced to escape only with Son Hak, who is both her childhood friend and bodyguard, the naïve princess soon discovers that Kouka is not the idyllic place she envisioned it to be. Poverty, strife, and corruption run rampant, making reclaiming the throne nothing more than a wishful fantasy given the kingdom's current state. Based on the popular manga of the same name by Mizuho Kusanagi, Akatsuki no Yona follows Princess Yona on a coming-of-age adventure as she faces the harsh realities of her kingdom. With only a mysterious legend to guide her, Yona must discover a way to restore Kouka to its former glory while being pursued relentlessly by the forces of the new King of Kouka.

This show needs a season 2.

RachelBea

The growth of the MC is done incredibly. The art and colours used are beautiful as well as the music. Everything about this is top notch.

Ciel

While I wish there was a second season, Yona still delivers a fantastic protagonist, cast of characters, antagonist, and some great arcs.

Quan

Carried by its fantastic main heroine, the most tragic thing about this fantasy adventure is that it ended just before it became great.

aliciajasmine

I love it! It’s funny and the female protagonist gets a lot of character development. (Plus, who can resist Hak?)

CasualYandere

Beautiful, pretty characters and story. Cut off before its time and needs a second season.

flyinggumm

short but good. for more awesomeness + yona as a badass after all the initial character development in the anime, read the manga.
