Akatsuki no Yona

Two stories about young women taking the reigns of their destinies and forging their own paths. Amusingly both series characters are prophesied in one way or another to bring great upheaval to their respective countries. 
Both have strong brave women that were betrayed by their loved ones, both will go on a journey that will eventually have them meet up with the allies they need and both gain massive character development as the story goes one learning to be more compassionate and thoughtful. 
That said the heroines and the stories are polar opposites of each other. Song's heroine is a wise and cunning strategist as well as an adept swords-woman and the plot is grounded in reality with most of whats going on especially the battles being realistic and strategic. Yona is more of a charismatic "instinctual" commander who learns how to fight from scratch and the plot has some quite a number of fantastical elements to it and the battles can get quite one sided for that reason. read more

Young princess has her relatives murdered during the coup. Now she has to hide and gather allies so she can take her position back. Both have historical setting.

Both series are very similar in that they both focus on a princess, outcast from her home after the assassination of their families'. The differences mainly lie in that "Song of the Long March" is darker and more focused on revenge, and the cultural differences.

THIS IS WAY BETTER THEN YONA. The artwork is absolutely stunning and the characters are all so lovable. The plot is very interesting to follow and the main character is smart, beautiful, unique and brave. 

reportRecommended by BuniSushi

2 Princesses must flee and hide after a coup. These maidens have strong character with some weaknesses and doubts sometimes.

It all takes place in historical settings : Old china for the Song of the long march and an imaginery old country for Akatsuki no yona (swords, spears and bows are the main weapons). Geopolitics is a critical issue for our two heroines, who deeply care about their country.

Another similarity is the beautiful art.

Differences :

you'll find no fantasy element in Song of the long march, the approach  is pretty realistic and related to China's history.

Princess Chang Ge Li (Song of the long march) is extremly clever, curious and educated in diverse matters like politics, war, diplomacy, philosophy, self-defense and even learns foreign languages while Yona only "learnt" to be a cute princess at the start of the story (but that changes afterwards).

The romance is a lot more prevalent in Akatsuki No Yona and in this manga there is a good portion of comedy, which works pretty well.

Both stories have strong female characters going through events that put them in a position to fight for their own destiny. The art of Xia Da in Song of the Long March is incredible, it is both delicate and fierce.The story is denser than Akatsuki no Yona, in both the narrative and the character development.  

reportRecommended by MFCORR

Honestly Song of the Long March is better, but since it's on hiatus it's very frustrating! I got so invested in the story and then was left hanging :( 

Both have strong female leads although Song of the Long March involves more emotional character growth since the princess is already very skilled. The male lead also has more initial standing in Song of the Long March.

There's less humour and competition for the main characters affection, but I really loved the development of the relationships. Definitely a must read, and I can't recommend it enough! 

reportRecommended by cw_husky

Song of The Long March, or Changge Xing in Chinese ( Chouka Kou in Japanese ) is a manhua that I started reading when I was ten. Though incomplete due to the author's contract termination with the editor, the story is definitely worth it.
It's the story of a coup d'état in ancient China that resulted in the death of the entire imperial family but the emperor's brother, man behind the coup d'état, and the princess Yongning, who managed to escape but is officially accounted for dead. Now living as a traveling merchant under the name of Li Changge, she seeks to exact revenge upon her uncle.
Changge is the strongest female MC I know. With a natural gift in martial arts, and the mind of a legendary strategist, she climbs up the ranks of society, occasionally falling and being called traitor, but not afraid to rise up again. It's an action shoujo, like Yona of the Dawn, though without the group of hot guys running after her -- on the contrary, they're looking for her head. More serious than Yona of the Dawn, too, and yet surprisingly similar. Please check this manhua out. read more

Akatsuki no Yona is a less intense version of Basara. Both follow similar themes of romance, royalty, strong female lead, adventure, overcoming adversity, personal growth, destiny, politics, etc... Basara explores these themes in a much more mature manner with greater depth of detail sometimes pushing the boundaries which may make some readers more uncomfortable. I personally love this series but I would not recommend it to high school readers. On the other hand, Akatsuki no yona is perfect for the young at heart. It takes a lighter, more playful approach to similar themes. 

Akatsuki no Yona has better art than Basara as well as this is newer. The downside of Akatsuki no Yona is that it's not yet complete which sometimes leads to painful times waiting for updates :P  read more

Akatsuki no Yona and Basara share several similarities, especially in terms of themes, characters, and storylines. These similarities make both manga appealing to readers who enjoy epic journeys, character growth, and struggles against injustice. Here is a (not so) brief overview about these two manga titles:

1. Theme and Setting
Both are set in historical fantasy worlds reminiscent of feudal periods, where kingdoms and politics play significant roles in the storyline. Both stories highlight themes of struggle, rebellion, and the journey of the main characters in their efforts to restore peace and justice to their homeland.

2. World-Building
Both have rich and detailed world-building, with various cultures, tribes, and diverse backgrounds that add depth to the story.

3. Tough Female Protagonist
Akatsuki no Yona features Yona, a princess forced to flee her palace after a coup d'état and embarks on a journey to resque her kingdom with the help of her friends. Meanwhile Basara features Sarasa, a young girl who must disguise herself as her slain twin brother to lead a rebellion against a tyrannical ruler.
Both manga also feature numerous battle scenes and strategic conflicts, where the main characters must use their intelligence and bravery to overcome powerful enemies and difficult situations.

4. Character Development and Growth
Both manga depict the long journey of the main characters, where they meet various people, face numerous obstacles, and grow become even stronger and wiser leaders. Sarasa and Yona start as naive young girls, but through their journeys, they learn about bravery, strategy, and how to lead their people.

5. Romantic Elements
Both features a slow burn romance that develops gradually throughout story and building tension. Akatsuki no Yona has subtle romantic elements, especially between Yona and Hak, as well as dynamics with other characters. Meanwhile Basara has strong romantic elements between Sarasa and Shuri, who initially are enemies but grow to understand and love each other. read more

Both feature a red-headed female protagonist who starts off physically weak and constantly in need of saving, but over time develop their already existing traits into strengths to protect themselves/people they care about. Akatsuki no Yona focuses more on Yona's development as a character, both physically and mentally, while Akagami no Shirayukihime has a bit more focus on the romance of the story. Both focus quite a bit on the running of kingdoms and fantasy-esque politics. They each have different approaches to a similar topic, and reading them alongside each other offers differing perspectives, which is kind of interesting.

Red River is very similar to Yona as they're both fantasy stories about strong female leads doing their best for their respective kingdoms. Yona is a castaway princess trying to understand her place in the world after her father is dethroned and Yuri is a modern Japanese girl thrown into ancient Anatolia isekai style and falls in love with a prince there. Both are high fantasy traveling stories about royalty and the responsibility of those in power towards the common people. The main difference between the two I would say is the romance is more intense in Red River than it is in Yona. But the women in both stories really step up their game to become strong forces for good in the world. I cannot recommend both stories enough! read more

Both set in historical times, where the heroine traveled around to look for companions. However, the heroine was someone from modern world. She came from other world, and was named as a priestess that'd bring happiness to the country she descended on. And she began gathering her destined warriors but it wasn't  an easy feat. Like every other manga, a villain has to wreck everything. 

Unlike Akatsuki no Yona having a subtle romance getup, Fushigi yuugi romance line developed in a relatively fast pace. The manga was published in the 90s but it's definitely one of my favorite manga. It has anime too.

Both of them have a very strong willed and capable girl as mc
In the beginning, both stories look like they are only about romance, but actually you have a protagonist (both Yona and Mishe) who are able to fight and help in political affairs.
Actually, as both stories progress, you realize that they deal a lot with political issues (as who is going to be the next king, how to deal with poor people and problems with crops, how to deal with neighbouring countries, and strategies). Also both protagonists study and take a hard time trying to improve their abilities so they can be worthy of what they want (in the case of Yona -> to be a righteous queen/ in the case of Mishe -> to be the legal wife of Prince Kallum and maybe one day queen....)

Ahh and both stories happen in ancient societies (Akatsuki no Yona >> something like ancient China/ Sabaku no Harem >> something as ancient Arabia) - they even include names as Anatolia (as a neighbour country - Turkey) read more

Just like Akatsuki no Yona, you may ignore this title due to the seemingly boring plot and the first chapter but do not be fooled!
It's awesome! Just wait and read for a while and I am sure you will be hooked on to it..unable to stop reading...

The plot is entirely different (Skip Beat revolves around the entertainment industry, mainly Acting field), but I'm sure those who loved Yona will also love the adorable, yet badass Kyoko from Skip Beat.

Yona lost everything she had when she had to flee from the castle after that terrible night when her first love and cousin Soo-won killed her father, the King.
Kyoko too, lost everything when she hears how her love Kyo thinks of her as nothing but a tool to use after spending and giving her whole 16 years for him.
But we have some tough girls here who are hard to crack. We see them change drastically from the weak and foolish characters they were to the most strong-willed and cool girls that they are now...
One of my favourite parts in both manga is when people wonder "Who is this girl?"   "Is she really the same person that I've seen/known before?"
They really make us think of the words.."DO not underestimate a girl" and "Dont judge a book by its cover"
There are also instances when we feel our hearts moved and find our eyes nearly filled with tears...or sometimes we find them to be the cutest and silliest characters in the world...and also the densest person in the matters of love!...  Though in Kyoko's case there is also the fact that she has come to hate and be scared of falling in love...

And let's not forget about the bishounen and cool male protagonist Tsuruga Ren. We see many sides of him throughout the manga and there is some character growth too along with many other characters after meeting Kyoko..and plus, he is cool and fun to watch.
Just as I mentioned, the majority of the characters undergo some development under the influence of Kyoko.
And overall...it's fun and an inspiring manga in my opinion which is a must-read read more

For anyone interested in fantasy adventure, Akatsuki no Yona and Nanatsu no Taizai focus on this concept to the very core. Both series' main male protagonist travels with a female companion with a purpose. They become close throughout their journey as they discover wonders about their world. There are distinctive differences between the two series but both rely on purpose, a reason to fight for what they believe in.

A small kingdom trying to stand up to its powerful neighbors; war and how it affects the life of ordinary people; a initially fragile young girl who has to face a task too big for her, and her journey of growth as she and her allies face trial after trial in order to save their homeland.

Akatsuki no Yona is more well-polished. Characters are lovable and the story has well-balanced dramatic and funny moments. It feels like the author knew from the start where Yona's path will take her.
Itsuwari no Freja has some interesting ideas and turnabouts, but the story gets inconsistent sometimes; some scenes are straight-up weird, albeit funny. It's still not clear if the author had a fixed outcome in mind, but so far it's been a pretty interesting manga to keep up with. read more

Both are in search of something; AnY is searching for the four dragons while InuYasha is in search of the remaining shikon jewels.

It is set against a background of political war and intrigue, and has royalty and nobles as the main characters.   In both we have a lot of political unrest and assassination attempts going on and both have a strong story and plot.   
In Zettai we have romance and I am hoping this to be the case for Akatsuki no Yona as well.   Both have young women who are set against trying circumstances and both girls are not in love with the male characters to begin with and the guys have to try to win their hearts or they realize the worth of the guy and that they care for him  through the way he handles the things that have to go through.

King's Maker addpermalink

If you like Su-won and wish he were the main character of Akatsuki no Yona OR you want to read a story where the main character(s) overthrow a worthless ruler, consider reading King's Maker. In both stories, the nation suffers from the inactivity/carelessness of their respective ruler. If a rebellion does not happen, the people will continue to live with injustice and poverty.

Both stories incorporate magic/fantasy, but it's done differently. Unlike Akatsuki no Yona where the titular character is a reincarnation of the first red dragon and automatically gains the love of the other dragons, we have Wolfgang in King's Maker who lives with the Golden Blessing. But people respect and follow Wolfgang for who he is as a person and his capabilities as a ruler. Like Su-won, Wolfgang grew up learning politics and honed his fighting skills, as well as waited for the right moment to overthrow the king. We could argue that Yona and Wolfgang resemble each other at being born with unique hair and eye colour and having special abilities. But the Golden Blessing does not make people automatically submit to Wolfgang, like how Yona met people who worshipped her because of her hair colour or got intimidated by Yona when she glared at them.

King's Maker also has Shin Soohyuk who guided Wolfgang throughout the years. So, Wolfgang does not miraculously learn and become the ruler his country needs in an instant. We witness the characters grow and learn, as well as see Wolfgang and Soohyuk develop together. Akatsuki no Yona gives a lonely vibe to Su-won as his friends (Yona and Hak) didn't know about his ambitions for the country and plan to rule, so that's one reason why they didn't stay with him. 

King's Maker has a level-headed perspective on what kind of ruler their country needs. In Akatsuki no Yona, Su-won became the ruler the country needed. The difference is that Wolfgang gets acknowledged through his efforts and rapport-building skills. Su-won gained the trust of some people, but not everyone (e.g. some people associate him with his late father named Yu-Hon, Yona and Hak were heartbroken about the way he ascended the throne...). I could tell you, in King's Maker, no one grieved over that heinous king. Akatsuki no Yona has readers on different sides, as some can't forgive Su-won, while others approve of him being the ruler and doubt Yona could ever rule because she was never trained in diplomacy, economics, military strategies, governance, and so on. Yona grew up as the loved and carefree princess, while Wolfgang was a prince in blood and name but not treated affectionately by his father. Readers of Akatsuki no Yona question the purpose of Yona and her crew wandering the country, doing acts of service without Su-won's corporation (not thinking of long-term goals). Meanwhile, there is a clear goal in King's Maker and the characters work together.

King's Maker has you understand why rebellion is essential and no one would argue otherwise, while Akatsuki no Yona can give you mixed feelings because the titular character's father was caring towards her despite being a passive ruler. I especially highlight King's Maker for people who want to see or feel what it's like to be in Su-won's shoes, where you dedicate your life to a task for the sake of your country. But a note in advance that the ruler in King's Maker commits the unspeakable, while Yona's father King Il (the one Su-won overthrew) was inadequate so he failed to protect his people. read more

Both MC's start off as gullible royality, then grow up.

There is a dispute of who truely should be king.

Maybe some romance in both? one more than the other.

Wars are fought, people are betrayed, strong characers fight each other, great MC's. Who has the claim to the Kingdom?

Ryuu no Hanawazurai addpermalink

Both stories are historical fantasy shoujo featuring princesses, kind parents, dragons and love triangles. The heroines are quite a bit different. Akagami's heroine starts out as a helpless princess, while Ryuu's has always been fiery. Both stories include the betrayal of a romantic interest, as well.

Your Throne addpermalink

Great female protagonists that go through impressive character development, and have goals of changing the kingdom for the better. Your Throne doesn't have some of the lighter and more fun moments that Yona of the Dawn has, but they both deal with heavy politics, and have tons of attractive characters.

Oukyuu no Trinity addpermalink

These manga are both about strong-willed princesses and their quests to protect their countries, and, of course, the romance that they find along the way. They’re both fantastical in that they contain magic or other superpowers, which are the main form of combat along with sword, bows, daggers, etc.

The worlds in both these stories are similar. (In case of Seirei no Moribito)The young prince/ss has to live on the run one fine day after their lives suddenly change one day. While Yami no Moribito doesn't have romance in it, there are still similarities in characters and story development.

Karneval addpermalink

They both have gorgeous designs.
In both main characters are in groups.
They are trying to change things they do not like.
In Akatsuki no Yona there is a romantic love story too and in Karneval, there is more of a family-like love.
The chemistry between characters in both stories is amazing.
All in all I think you will enjoy both series.

Shuumatsu no Harem: Britannia Lumiére addpermalink

Same reverse harem idea, revolving around a female protagonist who is supposed to fulfill a prophecy to save a kingdom. Politics, untrustworthy murderous royals and a kingdom to explore. Too bad Britannia Lumiere did not find its audience in Shonen Jump since its a shojo manga.

Shingeki no Kyojin addpermalink

this might seem like an odd recommendation but hear me out, please! 

Both stories focus heavily on a quintessential anime trio: Mind, Body, and Heart.  Both stories also explore the heartache when that trio fractures. 

Other similarities:
- Special powers that come at a cost
- A protagonist that has to come face to face with their own weakness and helplessness from the very start.  Who works hard to correct that weakness and become strong. 
- A lost history with massive implications on the present day events

Are you looking for a genre where the girl is the main character? Typicals like that are very difficult and I find Akuyaku is a manga similar to Akatsuki no Yona. The similarity is that both of them come from royal princesses and of course handsome men always appear.

Aoki Umi no Toraware Hime addpermalink

Both are about originally naïve princesses who are forced to see life outside their small world, in Akatsuki no Yona by being driven out, in Aoki Umi it’s through being kidnapped. Both contain pirates, fantasy supernatural elements, romance and some bisshies. ANY is more adventure with a splash of romance, AUTH is more romance based and shorter. (If you love Hak, you will probably love Raju).

Kuroori-hime to Kawaki no Ou addpermalink

It's by the same author so while reading Kuroorihime I couldn't stop relating the main characters with Akatsuki. (especially Setia with Yona....Azurite and Hak not so much but I think if Hak does not hold back his feelings...and become evil...he'll be like Azurite lol) Storyline is not similar but both heroine are strong willed. If you like one, you'll most likely like the other :)

Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE addpermalink

Sakura and Yona are both princesses of a country and ends up going on an adventure with their childhood friend/love interest. Syaoran and Hak are both strong characters and protective over their princess and whilst they both have feelings for their princess, it's more or less one sided :(

Storylines are not that similar but they're both adventure genre - but just beware the plot in tsubasa does get very convoluted till the end. Major difference is that AnY is shoujo and Tsubasa is shounen but to be honest, I think both have around the same amount of action to drama to romantic scenes  

reportRecommended by Lucilar

Strange Dragon addpermalink

Akatsuki no Yona (AnY) and Strange Dragon are very similar to one another. Both main characters are princesses that left their palace in search of dragons to reclaim their throne. The differences lies in the way they left their home and the fact that in AnY there are 4 dragons and princess Yona has to travel to find these dragon descendants and convince them to join her. In Strange Dragon, the princess finds her dragon in the first chapter. Another difference is that when the princesses left, in AnY, she had someone accompany her, whereas in Strange Dragon, the princess was completely on her own. For now that is all I can say as there is only 1 chapter out for Strange Dragon. But the feel that both of these give are very similar. I'm sure that if you enjoy one, you'll enjoy the other! read more

These anime's similarities lies in the main female characters and the world of the anime. 
Both the female leads have red hair and are very strong and kind, but still reliant characters. 
The settings are both in (kind of) fantasy worlds, though Magus's Bride is supposed to be our world, mostly England and Iceland, with magic and Yona is just old Asia with magic. They both give us a realistic, but still magical world.

Although they adapt different premises, both series are firm examples that characterizes the life of a girl whose life changes forever after a certain faithful event. There are a distinct amount of relationship dynamics that become a central focus in both series. At the same time, we learn more about the events of the past that influences events of the future through important development. Do take note that Otoyomegatari is more noticeable for its mature elements while Akatsuki no Yona is crafted by timeless fantasy.

Meteor Methuselah addpermalink

You wonder why I'd reccomend two shoujo that are nothing alike. Akatsuki no Yona is based in a fictional ancient country and it goes around politics while Immortal Rain is based in a fictional world on the present day/future being also sci-fi. So why do I reccomend one to the fans of other? Its very simple: 
- You enjoy a group of friends tagging along helping the heroine and the hero?
- You love the theme best friends turn into enemies?
- Love triangle and lots and lots of angst?
- Comedy moments that are very kawaii?
Then you have it. In both you have characters suffering with their immortality, and a heroine who is kind and is a badass and two childhood friends who used to be like brothers until one betrays the other leading you to a pool of tears and feels everywhere because you know you should hate the anti-hero aka villain but you actually realize you can´t, even after all the wrong he's done. 
You won´t regret to read these manga and if you don´t believe me I guess the rating says everything, both being higher than 8! Good plots, awesome angst, nakama feels...what are you waiting for? Read them!:D read more

Both Yona of the Dawn and Boukoku no Marguerite are stories about deposed princesses. Yona is old enough that when her father loses the throne, she journeys with her trusted knight and finds the legendary dragons. Boukoku no Marguerite is not a mythical story. Marguerite is a child when her country is taken over and while running away with her nanny she is rescued by a retired knight who raises her as his son until she’s too old to conceal anymore. You watch her as she goes back to being a woman and learns what happened to her country.

The art in each story is good and sets the tone of the mythical fantasies well.   They both have handsome heroes.   A difference is that Yasashii Ryuu is a shounen-ai - while Akatsuki no Yona is a shoujo but I think that both  are a treat to fans of fantasy art.
