| I think I read the manga just a few weeks back. I am actually looking forward to this. Expect 1 cour and some anime original material though because of the studio. But given what they did with Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii, I am looking forward to it. Hope to see a PV soon. |

| YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! >_< I get to see Hak animated!! |
| YES! |
 |
| > Chiwa Saito Might watch. |
 |
| Since its Studio Pierrot, you can expect a lot of QUALITY. |
 |
| Oh shit. It's by Pierrot? man, they are getting a lot of jobs these days. Changed from might watch, to definitely. |
|
| Sounds and looks nice.Will definitely check when it's out. |
 |
| Yes! Great news!!! ^^ |
| Well, the summary of it caught my eye, so I'm definitely going to check it out. |
| It looks medieval/fantasy type series. Definitely watching for sure! |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| This is one of the happiest days in my entire life. A dream come true! I absolutely love the manga. Hopefully it will be more than just 12 or 13 episodes. So excited to see Yona and Hak in the anime! |

Borgia said: They did Soredemo and it was actually quite good, but that's my opinion. You rated it halfway so yeah. Different opinions~Since its Studio Pierrot, you can expect a lot of QUALITY. |
 |
| Storyline sounds interesting, and it's Saito Chiwa and Maeno Tomoaki in lead roles, along with Suwabe-san and Minagawa-san in supporting roles so my interest is pretty piqued. |

| Looks interesting. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Interesting premise and I'd love to see a well-made non-romance Shoujo again. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| A Shoujo worth watching? |
 |
| Shoujo! YES!!! |
 |
| hah, funny coincidence.. I just stumbled upon the manga and wanted to read it. Now I'll just wait for the anime adaption - really nice! :3 |
| more shojo anime is always welcome! |
- I only draw freestyle! - |
Aozumi said: more shojo anime is always welcome! Heh, I was just about to write this. Here's hoping for more shojo anime in the future :) |
| I planned to start reading this manga since a long time ago but still haven't done it. Guess I'll just watch the anime instead and read the manga when the anime will be done. Not really fond of Pierriot (arg their recording mics for Soredemo, I'm still bothered by it), but it seems like they will be able to make very neat animation, we'll see with Tokyo Ghoul. |
| Fantasy, action, politics and shoujo? Sounds good! They're always welcome. :D |
| Ahh yes! I was reading this manga a while back I think I forgot about it because of issues in real life but I loved it! I'm glad it's getting an anime wowowow. Plus the visual looks very nice. |
 |
| Hm~, haven't I seen this work (on MAL) before... ~.~ But I definitely like the art, so it's worth adding to PTR and PTW. Dunois said: Son Hak: Tomoaki Maeno Ki-Ja: Masakazu Morita Shin-Ah: Nobuhiko Okamoto Jae-Ha: Junichi Suwabe Zeno: Hiro Shimono Now that's something to look forward to. <3 |
| What's with Pierrot and princess anime recently? |
| This is going to be awesome :) I kept wondering what it would be like if it was animated while reading the manga. Looking forward to this~ |
 Scanlator: Shoujohearts | Dessert Scans |
| looking forward to this especially if that's how the art will look |
| Omg YEEES, what a wonderful news!!! I was just saying to myself recently that I would love to see Akatsuki no Yona animated, and wow, didn't expect to see this at all :D Only slight problem I have is I wonder where they'll end it since it's still ongoing, and there's already 14 volumes out. It's not as slice of life as Soredemo Sekai since there's an actual plot it's moving towards, so I can only see it ending with either a cliffhanger, or an anime original ending. Hopefully a cliffhanger. Well, I'm still happy to see this announcement. Now I'm just waiting for Akagami no Shirayukihime to have an anime too and my life will be complete. |
| Looks good. Cast is good too. Will be checking out. |
| Aw yiss. Fantasy action shoujo just doesn't looked the same on paper as it does on TV. And there's so much tension, a feeling like death could be around any corner. And actual worldbuilding (Fantasy Korea!). I hope Pierrot can pull it off! |
 |
| One of the shoujo manga I am following. I can assure you guys, no studio can turn this into a horrible anime because the manga is easy for adaptation and the story is pretty good. :) |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| Ooh from the same studio that did SoreSekai? Interesting. Akagami no Shirayuki-hime adapation when? :D |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| This is like...the best 4th of July gift I have ever received. :D But really unexpected. I love the manga and I hope the anime lives up to it! <3 |
| Soredemo and now this. And most importantly, dat Saito Chiwa! Will definitely watch this! :) |
 |
| not sure if i'm in the mood for a story like that |
| +1 Will watch this |
 |
| The premise of the show sounds interesting, but the way the characters are described and the wording just makes it sound very amateur and childish. I hope that's just the fault of whoever wrote them on the MAL page. Is this a reverse harem? Looks like it. |
