Review:
Yona and Hak arrive in his hometown, where they take shelter for a
little while. Yona gets a sense of where Hak grew up and what his
family and friends are like. But during all of this bonding time,
they know that there are people after them, right on their tail.
Which leads to them going back on the road, and the run.
I do really enjoy Yona and Hak's relationship, and enjoy seeing how
close they are and how much they care for each other. It's good that
their bond is so solid from the very beginning. It gives Yona
something to hold onto and someone to lean on as she's trying to get
back on solid ground. It also gives her something to defend, someone
to care for enough to push herself harder as she gets stronger on her
own.
I'm happy to see how strong she is getting already, that she's
already taken a step toward standing up for herself and seeing what
she needs to do. She needs a lot more work, of course, but it's a
good start.
I'm already really enjoying this series. I am a rather big fan of
Kusanagi at this point, and I'm happy to see how much better her
writing and pace has gotten; the characters have always been great.
