JP summary
高華王国の姫・ヨナは一人娘のため、優しい父王と幼なじみで護衛のハク達に囲まれ、大切に育てられていた。そして時はヨナ・16歳の誕生日、ヨナは想いを寄せていた従兄のスウォンから簪を贈られ、父へ自分の気持ちを伝えに行く。が、そこには思いも寄らぬ過酷な運命が!?
EN summary
As the only daughter of the Kingdom of Gohwa, Yona was carefully raised by her kind father, the king, and her childhood friend and guard, Hak. On Yona’s 16th birthday, she receives a hairpin from her cousin Suwon, whom she has been in love with, and goes to her father to express her feelings. However, she meets an unexpectedly harsh fate!
This one should be a bit easier to read than volumes 2 and 3, so it should be a breather!
Hint! If you’re having difficulties reading at difficulty levels as high as this one, the best way to make your life easier is by scraping your manga with a script, such as this for Bookwalker, and then running manga through a script such as Mokuro in order to enable lookups of the more specific terminology.
Since this is a speed run book club, the formal end of this book club will occur on 2026-04-01T14:59:00Z, but feel free to continue with us afterwards, and if you’d be interested in continuing with a spin-off book club for the remaining volumes, let us know and the threads can be created!
Still with us on the book club?
- I’ll be joining together with the book club!
- Joining after the book club has finished!
- I’ve read the manga in the past already!
- I’m reading the manga in other languages, but I still want to discuss!
- Just lurking/discussing the plot!
Please use this thread for volume 4. All spoilers should go behind blurred spoiler tags or in the a hide details drop down.
