Review:

We get the pirate plot line in this volume. I must admit, after seeing the anime, this plot seems long and not that interesting to me, surprisingly.
Yona meets the green dragon, and the group gets to meet his gang of pirates. They're all rather nice, and I do like the old woman. It seems like she's going to be a good influence on Yona, and I like that—it could definitely be good for her.
I do like the green dragon, but he's not my favorite. He's rather cocky and flirty, and I think that him and Yona could have a good relationship, especially since it seems like she doesn't take him seriously.
Near the end of the volume, Yona and Yun are planning to take over another ship, and it's a bit rough. I'm really hoping to see Yona take charge, show them up and get fierce. I seriously love seeing her get pissed, and I want it to happen.
On the other hand, it's nice to see the others team together to protect her. They all really care for Yona, and they understand the importance of keeping her safe, and I like seeing that. I think it's especially important, since we know that Yona would do anything to keep them safe in return.
I cannot get enough of this series, and I cannot wait to get my hands on the next one.
