This year's 15th issue of Hakusensha's Hana to Yume magazine revealed last Friday that Mizuho Kusanagi's Yona of the Dawn (Akatsuki no Yona) manga will go on hiatus and will return in the magazine's 21st issue on October 3. In the meantime, the magazine will run a "look back" into the manga's story thus far.

Viz Media licensed the manga and describes the first volume:

A red-haired princess loses her family and her kingdom… Now she must rise and fight for her throne!

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?

Kusanagi — the creator of Mugen Spiral, Game X Rush, and NG Life — launched the Yona of the Dawn manga in Hakusensha's Hana to Yume magazine in 2009. Hakusensha shipped the manga's 46th compiled book volume on June 20. Viz Media released the manga's 44th volume on June 3.

Kusagani confirmed in June 2024 that the manga is in its final arc.

The manga inspired a 24-episode television anime in 2014, and three original anime DVDs in 2015 and 2016. Funimation released the television anime on home video.

The manga's first stage play ran in March 2016. Another stage play ran in November 2018 in Tokyo. A third stage play ran in Tokyo in November 2019. A musical stage play ran in Tokyo in July 2024.
