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 consent related to love potions (even though we'll still definitely read stories with this plot), wrap up some outstanding issues as we close out the first arc (namely: astrology), and spend a weirdly long time on the history of gas stations in the U.S. (I promise it

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 have our fourth dragon! And there are some feelings about him. We also dig into the prophecy a little more since we now have the dragons but no sword and shield, Ik-su makes a triumphant return, and there's some delightful HakYona content to sink our teeth into

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 our core cast, dove symbolism (which goes slightly off the rails because I did my research at like 3 am one night in a bout of insomnia), and favorite moments of the first arc with some help from the Yona facebook group.

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 if it wasn't a good cliff-hanger, I'm just really excited to be done with the pirate mini-arc. Please feel free to find us on twitter, tumblr, or gmail if you have thoughts or questions, and we'll see you next week for a very tense reunion!

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 is mostly kind of confusing and messy. (But next week is good and two weeks from now is absolutely fantastic so we're hanging in there!) Here's the fight scene from The Last Samurai I was talking about. It's probably a good thing Yona's bad guys aren't this

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 intrigue, some horror. We're gearing up for Yona and Yun to go undercover on the trafficking ship. Also, Evan finds the perfect word for Jae-ha: deranged. Please come find us on social media! Twitter, Tumblr, and gmail. I think we're up on Apple Podcasts officially

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 talked about how Project Vinland came to take over translating Yona, our thoughts on the (brand new to us) chapter 214, and the good and bad of the series as a whole. If it wasn't clear before, there are all the spoilers in this episode, so skip it and come back

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 sex ed in the Midwest.God, our education was...not great. Also mentioned: the reddit thread discussing details that are lost in translation from Japanese to English. Beware of major spoilers through the Kuelbo arc.

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 pay off much, much later). This week, Jae-ha has been officially introduced as the Green Dragon. He's resistant to join our crew, so our crew decides to join up with the pirates to help rid Awa of Kum-ji and his men. Now that we're really into the story, we talk

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 Jae-ha lure Hak into situations he doesn't want to be in and just generally be delusional about his ability to bag Hak. (It's not his fault. He hasn't met Yona yet. He hasn't seen Hak with her and figured out how useless his seduction techniques are.) Jae-ha

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 bunny symbolism. And the OnlyFans drama briefly because we recorded this before they walked back their decision. Also Lorde's new album. As I type this out, we were really all over the place this episode, weren't we? I swear it all came up organically. You may also

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, King Soo-won is visiting Geun-tae. (Yes, there is thirst abound for Geun-tae this episode. There will never not be thirst for the Earth Tribe general.)

We have a guest this week! Yata from My Anime Podcast 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's hyperbole to say, literally everything under the sun. I mean, check the run time on this episode. We went on a lot of tangents and discovered everyone around me has questionable taste in boys (Yata's boy of choice was Tae-Jun and Evan doesn't think Obi from Snow White with the Red Hair is hot.

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 episode once you're finished with it. Spoiler warning for Angel and Agents of Shield, too, but those have been out for a while. You can also just be aware and skip that section when you get to it (it's towards the middle when the discussion turns towards the Blue

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 the caves of the Blue Dragon Village, we flash back to his childhood. It's half-horror, half-saddest goddamn childhood on the planet. Thank god Yona swoops in to see what no one in his village can see: that he has warm hands. Also we get really horny for Ao (the

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 not actually done a good chunk of the reading and Alex thought, "I must record this." Evan and Pres discuss what powers they would want if they could have one of the dragons' powers, which is especially fun if you've read ahead. There's also mild (loving)

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 comedy, Gija. Sorry about your haircut. You know the deal by now.

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 needed something to fill the time.) Check us out on Twitter, Tumblr, and Gmail. We love when people talk to us.
