Yona of the Dawn continues to be one of my favorite manga series. The mix of engaging, complicated characters with a political plot and a fantastical bent continues to keep me engaged. I love the character moments we get in this volume and how we continue to see Yona growing and working to be stronger. Her dynamic with the dragons continues to be a great part of this story. Learning more about Sinha and his powers is also welcome. I can't wait for the next volume.

Getting more Sinha backstory and Yona is gaining confidence even if she sometimes mimicks it from others.  They decide to act as bandits to help out the poor and destitute fire tribe villages.  Shenanigans ensue.

Love everything about this installment! Yona is my favorite, I'm so glad we're back with her and the dragons, and I love their decision to start fighting for the people. It's great.

The events in this volume are events that take place after the events of the anime. And I am so bummed that it wasn't, and probably never will be at this point, animated. 
Things start off humorous, with the gang deciding to be "bandits" to protect a village from the Fire Tribes tax collectors, but as they draw more attention,  they bring attention to the villages from more violent bandits. Which leads to a tragedy. We discover something about Shin-ha, the blue dragon, and I really liked learning that about him. Before it was never clear exactly what his power was, and how the tribe he came from caused more problems by forcing the Blue Dragons to hide their eyes and muffle their power.
