there are multiple scenes with visible blood but it's brief. also the main protagonist sees her father murdered, the reader sees the silhouettes of the figures during the stabbing and we later see the father dead on the floor. A guard member that helps the girl escape is shot with an arrow and presumed dead.sammymilfort's review against another edition

🧡this was so good! I went in not knowing anything about it but listening to my friend’s recommendation & I’m glad I did that because I was shocked!
🧡Yona’s the FMC and her father is the King—other main characters include
*Hak: her personal guard & he is also the young general of the wide tribe
*Su-won, her cousin & she also has had a crush on him for a long time (he comes to visit for her bday)
🧡something terrible happens & Yona must leave the palace— she is struggling to keep going but luckily at least there’s someone who will look after her
🧡tried my best to keep it spoiler free 😊 definitely check it out! 🫶🏼

My sister, my brother, and one of my best friends are huge fans of Yona of the Dawn so I felt compelled to check it out despite the fact that this series is unfinished and has been running since 2009!!
I can't say I'm completely hooked after reading the first two volumes but I'm interested enough to keep reading other volumes. I think the relationships between Yona, Hak, and Soo-won are really interesting and the flashbacks to their childhood friendship adds a lot of depth to their shifting dynamic after
As far as the art style goes, I'm really digging the expressiveness of the characters and some of the panel layouts do a good job of heightening the drama and intensity of certain moments. On a more minor note: I really like the way the mangaka handled outfits in series. The attire worn by the nobility is detailed and feels luxurious. Also appreciate that the accessories worn by members of the wind tribe are distinct compared to the accessories worn by members of other tribes.
My only complaint so far is that the main love interest, Hak, says a couple of wildly inappropriate and suggestive comments to Yona in the second volume. But otherwise his actions towards her are devoid of any lewdness and show a deep amount of care and respect?? I'm cautiously optimistic that he'll knock it off with these comments soon.

incest: the main character is in love with her cousin. A lot of her time during the first half of volume 1 is spent pining after said cousin and trying to decide if she should confess her feelings to him. By the end of the first volume,theghostly's review against another edition
