The leaks of the next edition of the magazine Hana to Yume confirmed that the popular manga written and illustrated by Mizuho Kusanagi, Akatsuki no Yona (Yona of the Dawn ), will reach its climax with its chapter on December 5 in the same magazine. This is an impressive advertisement considering that it is one of the magazine's flagship works, after its serialization for more than fourteen years to date.
Mizuho Kusanagi began publishing the manga through the
magazine Hana to Yume of the publisher Hakusensha in
August 2009, and remains in publication to date. The work inspired an anime
adaptation of twenty-four episodes and three OVAs, produced by Studio
Pierrot and released during the season of Fall-2014
(October-December). So far there is no information about any continuation.
Sinopsis of Akatsuki no Yona
The kingdom of Kouka has been blessed with a beautiful
princess whose childlike innocence enchants all who come across her. Called
Yona, she has grown up protected in the royal palace, safe from any danger that
may threaten her. However, all good things come to an end. Yona's perfect world
collapses when a heinous act of betrayal threatens to erase everything she
holds dear, including her birthright as princess of Kouka. With no one to trust
except her childhood friend and loyal bodyguard Son Hak, she is forced to flee
the palace.
Faced with the dangers of surviving in the wilderness
with a target on her back, Yona realizes that her kingdom is no longer the safe
haven it once was. Freed from the shackles of naivety, Yona vows to do everything
in her power to become strong enough to crush her enemies. With Hak at her
side, she must piece together the remains of an ancient legend that could be
the key to reclaiming her kingdom from those who conspired to steal it.
