Yona of the Dawn Manga Is '70% Complete'

I can only hope her math on completion is better than Eiichiro Oda's I'm always super impressed by how these people just keep churning it out with few, if any breaks. I know she took one after the 2011 earthquake, but I think she was back within 3 months or so.

Still, considering that Yona IS still one of the best series coming out in English, I'm glad that it's aiming to end on its own terms, but isn't rushing either. I also really hope that her NG Life series gets rescued and put out in omnibuses or something, it's a shame so many have to go without on that also fantastic series. By my math, it should be around 42-43 volumes (unless she does a ton of short stories at the end), which is pretty epic. Not to mention, super rare for a shojo series that long to come out in English these days (I think only Skip Beat surpasses it). Perhaps a long-running shojo fantasy epic would encourage someone to take a chance on 7 Seeds, just sayin'

Oh, I'm not dissing One Piece itself, it's a good fun epic series, but I am doubting Oda's ability to estimate how far he is into the completion of it. I just don't think he really knows or cares how far he is (considering the series' popularity, I'm sure there's no rush on the part of Shonen Jump or the readers for him to end it either, they all know that they'll happily let him keep making it for as long as he pleases) and that he just spits out a percentage every few years to get everyone off his back, lol

I loved this series and wanted to collect it all in print but just don’t have a room for such a long series. So with regret I made the decision to switch to digital.
