“Yona is not only a sweet and relatable heroine, but a truly strong female character… She’s a heroine you can both root for and want to be like, and there's little more you could ask for from shojo… [The anime’s] reverse harem members have both fangirl appeal and compelling character arcs. Yet, Yona of the Dawn isn't just a fine example of shojo romance. It’s a great adventure anime and will appeal to anyone who loves exploring and swordfights.” –Anime News Network
