Fabulous

This is one of my favorite arcs! Yona's character development is phenomenal. Also, Hak realized that he's been in love with Yona and hiding it so that she could get together with Suwon, and is now flirting properly (at least a little bit, thank you Jaeha!). Chapter 32 is my new Hak-Yona fave.

The pirate chief is fabulous, and Shina's chipmunk friend is freaking adorable. I love watching him make faces and hop between people's shoulders in random scenes.

On a more serious note, I'm proud of Yona's bravery, determination, and resilience but am also concerned about the dangerous situation that she's found herself in. (I've read this before in English, but it's still nerve wracking even if I know what's going to happen.)

I also want to mention that Kusanagi-sensei does such a wonderful job with the art, from the panelling to the character and background designs, and it makes the story so immersive and compelling. It's very worth having physically. 5 stars!
