About Yona of the Dawn OVA

Yona of the Dawn OVA (暁のヨナ OVA) arrives as an action anime by Studio Pierrot (2015), and the premise is easy to summarize. At its core: The first episode adapts two bonus chapters from Mizuho Kusanagi's 12th manga volume, titled "On That Back" and "Kija. "On That Back" follows an incident at a hot spring hotel, and "Kija" depicts the past of the Hakuryuu Kija.

Soon after, the second two episodes adapt the rest of the Zeno Arc and were bundled with the 21st and 22nd volumes of the manga.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Chiwa Saitou as Yona and Tomoaki Maeno as Hak Son. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. With 3 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
