Color page of Akatsuki no Yona Gaiden chapter 1 featuring the four former dragon warriors.
We're still working hard on the Akatsuki no Yona Gaiden chapter! It officially released in Japan today, so be careful of spoilers. We expect to release it either tomorrow (Friday) or Saturday!
I know a lot of people are very excited about this chapter, so until then, here's the color page!
User @backintimeag: The text “Kirsten will be happy when ICE gets the fuck out of Minnesota” over a picture of 1850s immigrant and Minnesota-dwelling doll character Kirsten Larson in the snow.
In case anyone was wondering how it’s going over on American Girl doll Instagram
“YOTD could’ve been shonen”
While technically that’s possible, YOTD is a quintessential shojo manga. The action, adventure, fantasy, romantic side plot, character depth, politics, art, etc feel reminiscent of prior shojo series in the best way. Being for girls allowed for its many amazing qualities
Y’all the first episode was actually AMAZING! Obviously I read the manga so I already love this series, but the animation, the comedy so on point, the songs & dance?!?!?
We do not get adaptations like this often… oh I am SOOOOO EXCITED you don’t even know! I’m so happy!
Happy New Year everyone!
I hope you all have a great year! I can’t wait to read and watch new stories & talk about them with you all, especially the ones you guys recommend! 💓🥂
(& here’s Kusanagi’s New Year post if you haven’t seen it yet!)
Just reread A Bride’s Story and gosh I love it so much!
So beautiful both visually and through the story line/characters!
I also think it’s fun for her to not only learn of other cultures and landscapes but for her to also share her own with others! Her moments with the twins are so fun!
A Bride’s Story
This moment with Talas always hits me!
I truly love her character & despite the hardships to come it’s wonderful seeing her explore & go after who she wants after all the loss she went through.
She shows so much kindness, determination, resourcefulness, strength & devotion!
So sad that the two manga with the MOST ROMANTIC confessions ever written ended recently… 😖💔 what will I do without these lovely heartfelt moments?!
Yeah I still think they’re interesting! It is a lot of Youko’s monologue & I think the anime even expressed her internal thoughts really well, the monkey-like man helped with that! Based on what I’ve read so far the anime just seems to be a good adaptation of it!

A Witch’s Life in Mongol was made with so much love omg this trailer showed the animators stayed faithful to the art style while still incorporating new elements to bring the manga to life 😭 this will be my new shoujo eyes sparkles
RAKUSHUN IS MY ICON
I was surprised at first but honestly while they had their purpose they didn’t feel like I was missing any characters. If anything I liked having a major character that didn’t automatically known the language, but without them, when Youko met the old man it hit harder!
I finally decided to read the Twelve Kingdoms novels, & it’s amazing! The audiobook too!
The anime is one of my favorites & is accurate to the novels so far (as of Shadow of the Moon, Shadow of the Sea, Part 1) except the novel lacks Asano & Sugimoto is a minor very character. -
I am very satisfied with the ending! The characters got such amazing endings that fit them, especially our lovely Hinako! Also, Tenkiku
shedding his sister’s appearance on stage was REALLY important!
I can’t wait to reread this story all over again!
Another phenomenal manga, Namida Ame to Serenade, has ended…
This story quickly became one of my favorites! I loved so many characters, the complex & deep backstories, the plot in itself, & all of the intense yearning!
I just realized I’ve been reading this manga for 5 years! Time really flew by!
(Also Hak when I talked about the HHB members ofc I thought I put him there)!!! 😭
My four favorite YOTD characters if I HAD to choose!
I’m obviously OBSESSED with a lot of them, especially the HHB members (LOVE Gija, Shin-ah, Jae-ha, & Ao) & the other female characters, but YONA, Soo-won, Zeno, and Yoon just have a special place in my heart & they’re just so interesting to me!
In a way, many YOTD characters ended up back where they started, despite that so much has changed.
They have new knowledge, a better understanding of themselves & each other, are free from a cycle of reincarnation, a kingdom with safer & happier citizens, & a new family they can always return to.
When will be free of this bs! 😭💔
Exactly! 😤
I will NOT allow squirrel girlfriends erasure!!! 😤
>A Star Brighter than the Sun Season 1 finale
D'aaaaaaaaaaaaws~ *wraps myself in the warm and wholesome feels* ^/////^
A lil edit for YOTD’s final chapter
These characters created a better home for Kouka citizens (and others too) while creating a found family! Whatever they do in the future they will always find a home w/each other & be a family!
Ofc some relationships are still repairing but that takes time❤️🩹
Omgggg, as if the Yona anime revival wasn't good enough~ shojo fans stay winning >o< lol
This is another one of my currently running faves :'3
Oh me too! I can’t wait to reread & hopefully we get to remember things with the anime sequel (it better be a full on season 2!!)!
If I’m being honest when I heard people were hoping for a wedding I kinda thought the opposite? I feel like now that we know they’ll stay together forever, love and cherish each other, and he proposed that was just unnecessary! I love how this ending focused on Yona and her journey to come!
Exactly… 😓
