Review:
The group makes a stop in a water tribe village, where there are
nefarious things happening at night. Jaeha experiences this first
hand, unsurprisingly. They discover that people are being tricked
into a drug addiction that makes them crazy, and of course they need
to find out who's doing it and how to stop it.
We meet the water tribe princess here, Riri, as she has a tendency to
sneak out. She wants to do things, to explore and learn, but she's
always being held back. She's also not taught anything helpful, much
like Yona used to be. For her, seeing Yona is rather surprising, and
gives her an image of what she wants to be. It's inspiring.
This series has so many comedic moments, sure, but it does the
inspiring ones, the thoughtful and impressive moments, just as good.
And there are quite a few here, as we see Yona standing up for what
she believes in, and fighting even when things are against her. She's
surviving, as she has learned to do.
I just love this series so completely. Every volume is amazing, and a
thing of art, and I need more in my life.
