Viz Media releases the manga in English under the name Yona of the Dawn, and it will release the manga’s 45th volume on December 2nd, 2025. Viz Media describes the story below:
“Princess Yona lives an ideal life as the only princess of her kingdom. Doted on by her father, the king, and protected by her faithful guard Hak, she cherishes the time spent with the man she loves, Su-won. But everything changes on her 16th birthday when tragedy strikes her family!
Yona reels from the shock of witnessing a loved one’s murder and having to fight for her life. With Hak’s help, she flees the palace and struggles to survive while evading her enemy’s forces. But where will this displaced princess go when all the paths before her are uncertain?”
The Akatsuki no Yona manga inspired a 24-episode TV anime in 2014. The anime is now available to stream on the Crunchyroll website under the name Yona of the Dawn.
