Synopsis Once upon a time, the kingdom of Kouka was ruled by a red dragon in human form. By his side, four warriors imbued with dragon blood helped him lead the kingdom to prosperity. Time passed, and this tale became a legend to tell children. As the sole princess of Kouka, Yona lives a life of lavish ease. In love with her cousin, Su-won, and protected by her bodyguard, Son Hak, she wants for nothing and remains sheltered from the harrowing reality outside the castle walls. Contrary to this peaceful illusion, Kouka is about to undergo a political upheaval. After her beloved Su-won stages a bloody coup and murders her father, Yona is forced to flee with only Hak by her side. Though surrounded by enemies on all sides, the banished princess still yearns to save her kingdom. Her solution comes from an exiled priest, who tells her that her only hope is to find the four legendary dragon warriors. Guided by this seemingly fictitious myth, Yona sets out to find these warriors, determined to restore her kingdom. [Written by MAL Rewrite] Source Comic Natalie |

| Oh, the manga will end, but its previous anime adaptation needs a sequel (a season 2). This was one of the shoujo anime that I truly enjoyed. :s |
| where is my season 2? |
| NO WAY!!!! Guess it’s finally time for me to read it 🤩 |

Akatsuki no Yona anime is a flop. That's why it never got a second season and will never get one. The first blu-ray volume was released on 29 April 2015, and that first blu-ray volume only sold 1,820 copies in its first week of release, which means it failed. Shoujo anime tend to always flop, unless it's Kimi ni Todoke, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sailor Moon, which are the few that are successful.
| @wildhood idk how you can argue that. The animation was solid, the characters were p good, there was obvious momentum in the story to continue. They need to make another season |
| FUCK! need to caught up |
| Been waiting for this. Time to catch up. |

| @wildhood Finally someone told the truth. The anime was a flop, there is a few good shoujo animes, but most of them are flops. |
 |
| Looks like it's time for me to start reading the manga soon. |
 |
| I only began reading Yona a few years ago, but it's already one of my favorite Shojo ever. I'll be sad to see it go. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| What a wonderful journey it's been. I will miss this series very much |
