PonyfanI am so happy I corrupted broke influenced you!@ Uni - Yona is awesome, and there's some slight reshuffling I think in the early manga to the series but it's pretty close. But as Ponyfan says the anime covers 1-8. I actually only have volumes from 8 onwards for this reason at the moment.

When I have some money to I intend on getting the first 7 to complete the set because I know there are some omake chapters but for now it's not a priority as the anime exists xD.I should probably read Hero Academia since a new series is coming out and the students/school is entertaining. I wish I was more enthusiastic about the bad guys, though. I am not interested in any of them, even the revelations about Shigaraki in the end of what has been animated didn't interest me and the main bad guy villain also doesn't interest me...Big problem. I kind of wish whenever they appear that they hurry up and go away so we can get back to meaningful plot...and since that is the plot, it's thus far discouraged me.
Seeing one clip from the anime was all it took to get me hooked on Yona.

Yesssss, I cried...I will admit multiple times watching the anime. But heck, I just cried watching the latest fruits basket episode with the little tiger girl...I'm a big softy.
Ah, my brain is spinning ><
Uni, if you cried at the anime so far, you're gonna probably cry more with the manga. I'm sure Ponyfan will agree with me with certain sections xD.

But just so you know, I am not afraid of spoilers...yea I'm one of those nuts who doesn't whine about them.Spoilerare you talking a bad guy that suddenly has some kinda legitimate reason for looking like a jerkpants? ooooo...my favorite kinda badguy. Did his mom not hug him enough? (jokes)
@Uni - with school things it depends on the plot and the characters. I hated school so sometimes it's cathartic to watch others having a nightmare there too xD no, I'm kidding. But some stories I don't really care. Others are just insipid/beyond me and I probably am too old to enjoy them. I dunno. As I go forward, I have collected a small group of favourites and when I think about it, some of them begin with a school connection but most of them don't stay there. And Saiyuuki, which is one of my absolute favourites, is full of drinking and smoking, neither of which I do, so that's interesting. Also driving a car that's a dragon. Which I also don't do. Dragons are good though Yona is awesome. The more it goes on the more I'm impressed with her writing, and her art, and the humour that runs through what is often a really brutal story. Right now though it's doing my head in a little bit becauseSpoilerKeishuk I have always thought of as the bad guy, and now he's the bad guy but not the bad guy? And I don't really know how to take this whole shift that's going on..?SpoilerI'm putting this in double triple spoiler tags to try and deflect Ponyfan's spoiler curiosity, but...SpoilerIn the most recent battle, Keishuk's forces and those of Yona join up together to fight the invading enemy and win. Prior to this Keishuk was a jerk and had Jaeha and Zeno shot out of the sky, and obviously Jaeha got hurt, so that annoyed me. But now Keishuk is all like wanting to be buddy buddy with them and I don't realy get his motives. In any case, he's dragged them back to the palace...and the last chapter was full of really awkward scenes with the dragons and Suwon, Yona, Hak and Yun...and Keishuk...I have no idea where she is going with this. I don't often have a series where I have no idea where the narrative is going, but this is one of them. This writer likes to throw plot curveballs, and can make you love a character you begin hating. It's exciting and scary because I don't trust Keishuk, and I don't trust Suwon, but obviously the dragons are only going to support Yona...so...This is not going to end well. I can't see Hak forgiving Suwon. I can't see Yona forgetting her father was murdered. I feel like something is coming and I don't know what...But I am not convinced that Keishuk is as bad as I thought he was now. He explained he was taken in and supported by Yuhon, which explains his loyalty to Suwon and to Yuhon's line...and turns the whole "killing Il" thing back on Suwon. Ah, my brain is spinning ><Uni, if you cried at the anime so far, you're gonna probably cry more with the manga. I'm sure Ponyfan will agree with me with certain sections xD. Furuba's new animation is absolutely lovely. I'm so glad they decided to do it so many years on as it handles every character with so much more sensitivity and care than the original anime. And somehow the moralising ghost of Kyouko doesn't seem quite so obnoxiously there in this version. She seems more human.

Did his mom not hug him enough? (jokes)Haha xD I dunno, it's not that explicit. But yeah, that's the guy Takane would be Ta as in tap, ka as in cap, ne as in neck. Ta-ka-ne. Japanese is a very staccato language and every syllable is sounded and has basically the same length unless indicated with a macron or double vowel. The names in Yona are mostly derived from Korean so you get Japanified Korean stuff going on. I write them as the manga does, kind of, but there are other more official spellings for some of them I think. Like some people write Yun as Yun, some as Yoon, and Sinha as Sin-ah, and so on.
now I have to retrain my brain to say Takane the correct way...Ta Ka Neee....Ta Ka Neeee. Wait, is it Neeee or Neh?The only way I could fix this is to try to set the correct way to a song...
