This volume started off as a goofy time, but quickly turned back into the political and war themes that run through this series. But the crew are all together and so we're happy...for now.
The bonus chapters were interesting and fun, but poor Ao and her empty cheeks, somebody get Ao some acorns ASAP!

I love Yona trying to cope with learning her feelings are requited but struggling to like tell Hak that. Also, their relationship is so sweet. Hak doing all he could to get her comfortable with him again and just showing that he's not going to force anything or pressure her? Kusanagi truly is writing the best man. Also, Jaeha's relationship as the oldest brother of the troop never fails to make me smil. 

I do like that the general kingdom is becoming aware of Yona & co., and that people are recognizing that their actions is what's really benefiting the nation. Direct action over warmongering works, imagine that. I love revisiting the Fire Tribe, because Tae-jun is always a delight now that he's undergone some drastic character development. 

The bonus chapters were great. I loved the part 2 of the Take Care short, because it's just so ery funny. And the other bonus chapter was just sweet. I think you get more of an insight that Yona has always had the potential to be a very capable person, but her dad did all he could to shelter her and keep her as ~innocent~ as he could. And Hak giving up his fight just to go and check on her was so sweet. Also, Ju-do is so rapidly falling down to the bottom of my favorite characters. Like, he's barely hovering over Kye-Sook in terms of characters.
