Chapter 41
We are officially anime-less with a truly bonkers chapter. We've circled back to pick up a chapter before we meet Zeno, in which the boys discover Kija's scales can create a "love potion." We dig into the complicated issue of dubious consen
Chapters 42-43, 47 & Episode 24
It's the final episode of the anime (not counting the 3 OVAs), and to help us send it off properly we brought in a guest! Much like Zeno, Ashley from Shojo and Tell popped in to chat with us about the finale. Speaking of Zeno, we finally ha
Chapters 39-40 & Episode 23
And we're (basically) out of Awa! We wrap up the pirate stuff and get some of the best stuff since those first few episodes. Soo-won and Yona have their first meeting post-coup and boy does it pack a punch. We also discuss name meanings for
Chapters 37-38 & Episode 22
History is made at night; close the doors, turn off the lights, and listen...to Kum-ji dying. That's right, it's baby's first kill, and we couldn't be prouder. Beyond that, the best cliff-hanger since the first episode ends Episode 22. Even
Chapters 35-36 & Episode 21
Yona and Yun are trapped on the cargo ship with a bunch of scared girls and a handful of bad guys who are, quite frankly, really bad at their jobs. There are some bright shining moments in the anime - thank you Ian Sinclair - but this part
Chapters 33-34 & Episode 20
We're back with our regularly scheduled manga/anime break-down! This week, Yona decides to go undercover to help find the missing girls who are going to be sold to the Kai empire. Everyone hates the idea. There's some great comedy, some int
Bonus Episode 2 - A Conversation with Rillant (a Scanlation Team Member)
This week's episode is chock-full of spoilers (so no Evan on the recording) because we welcomed a special guest this week! Rillant is a member of Project Vinland, the scanlation team that recently took over the fan translations of Yona. We
Chapters 31-32 & Episode 19
Yona gets sent to look for a magical plant and earns Jae-ha's respect as she goes. Also, the Honey Scene happens. Hak, babe, you can't just lick people without asking. Between plot points, we talk about Bachelor in Paradise and the state of
Chapters 29-30 & Episode 18
Oh boy. These chapters are like the perfect encapsulation of what Yona of the Dawn is. There's some incredibly funny stuff, some really tragic stuff, and setting the groundwork for things that will pay off later (and some things that will p
Chapters 27-28 & Episode 17
The Green Dragon has finally arrived! Though none of our characters know it. There's a lot of set-up (like...a lot that doesn't get paid off for a long while) but it seems promising to our resident newbie. Also it's just really fun to watch
Chapters 45-46 & Episode 16
We're here, folks. The finale to the side interlude of Soo-won an Geun-tae (mock) duking it out. We spend a lot of time thirsting after Geun-tae and talking about his adorable wife. Aside from thirsting, we dive into music and dance and bun
Chapters 26, 44 & Episode 15
This episode jumped around chapter-wise, but it didn't jump around nearly enough for our liking. This week, we see Yona continue to grapple with her father's legacy and the complicated grief that brings up. Elsewhere in Earth Tribe lands, K
Chapters 24-25 & Episode 14
We have a guest this week! Yata from My Anime Podcast (https://linktr.ee/myanimepodcastoffical) graciously joined us to chat about Shin-ah finally leaving his terrible life and getting a real name. We also talked about, and I don't think it
Chapters 22-23 & Episode 13
Not much has changed since last week. We're still in the Blue Dragon Village. He's still reluctant to join our heroes. Ian Sinclair kills it yet again. If you haven't seen Black Widow and are avoiding spoilers, maybe come back to this episo
Chapters 20-21 & Episode 12
Yona really just sucker punches you with incredibly sad moments, huh? This week we have the saddest of babies: the Blue Dragon. That's right. We've finally met the Blue Dragon. After he meets and saves Yona from...something not good deep in
Chapters 18-19 & Episode 11
The Yona Pod had its very first guest! Pres is a friend that Alex bullied into coming on to the show, and he was a delight. There's not really a proper intro this week because Pres decided to reveal during the pre-recording chat that he had
Chapters 16-17 & Episode 10
What a blast. This section of the story is so fun. And informative! We get our first dragon in the funniest chapters/funniest episode of the story so far. The White Dragon's king has returned, and he's a little girl! Thank you for the comed
Chapter 15 & Episode 9
So, Hak and Yona, huh? Those crazy kids deliver all the angsty goodness we love in a ship. Also featured: Yun, bow and arrow practice, and walking. Just...lots and lots of walking. It's a really good episode. As always, we have https://twit
Chapter 14 & Episode 8
Well, we're here, folks. We must finally say goodbye to our Millennial king, Ik-su. But not before we get his history with Yun and why their parting is sad but necessary. Also featured in this episode: astrology. (It was a short episode. We
Chapters 12-13 & Episode 7
Oh baby, it's the prophecy episode. We get the set-up for the rest of the series, Hak straight up risking it all, and Ik-su. God, we love Ik-su. As always, we're @theyonapod (https://twitter.com/theyonapod) on Twitter, theyonapodcast.tumblr
Chapters 10-11 & Episode 6
We have ourselves a new king! A surprisingly deep and complicated new king who may or may not feel some type of way about his best friend. We also meet Yun and Yun's little friend Ik-su after Hak and Yona survive a fall off a cliff (but it'
Chapters 8-9 & Episode 5
We're back, baby! We're doing chapters 8 and 9 this week alongside episode 5 of the anime. We loved these chapters. Also up for discussion: which theme songs we will never skip, disappointing body shaming jokes in shojo, and when hair dye w
Bonus Episode 1 - Ranking the Arcs
Evangelina is out this week, which means it's just me, Alex. I decided to let loose on the spoilers ban and do a ranking of all the manga arcs so far (from favorite to less favorite). If you're trying to avoid spoiler (or don't care about r
Chapters 6-7 & Episode 4
We've made it to the Wind Tribe, baby! Fuuga is chock-full of funky little dudes (sort of) trying their best. Meanwhile, Soo-Won is barreling ahead with his designs on the crown. Points of discussion: real world influences on the manga, lov
Chapters 3-5 & Episode 3
As the title says, we're covering three chapters this week! The anime wrapped up the two flashback chapters plus the trek through the mountains into one, so we did too. This episode (as is every episode, really) is all about Hak. As we leav
Chapter 2 & Episode 2
This episode, we discuss chapter 2 of the manga and episode 2 of the anime. The romance! The drama! The psychological distress of being betrayed by your closest friend! Also up for discussion: why on earth the anime crew thought the time sk
Chapter 1 & Episode 1
Hosts Alex and Evan walk through Chapter 1 of the manga and Episode 1 of the anime. We talk about the history of the manga and anime, differences between the two forms, and why we don't think the story works quite as well in anime form. Ple
