I havn;t read the manga but I'm curious how they will rap this up in 6 episodes, or will it be reliant on a second season.

Considering they've only showed 32.5 of 103* (less than 1/3) chapters for these 19 episodes, and
the manga is ongoing, they could most likely do another double-cour with just the sourcematerial
they already have.

End of season would most likely be ch 43 (the title sounds like one too) or maybe 46
(3 last chapters without Yona). If they get into ch 49, they can't stop for quite some time.
But there really isn't a good place to have the season end for quite a few chapters because
it is always continuing on the previous one.

*Somebody else said it was 103 raw chapters atm. 70 has been translated.

As expected, Jeaha is slowly taking a liking to Yona. That test she did really wasn't for young girls like her.
That Honey licking, hahaha! He caught her off guard with that. Next episode looks like they will be doing something risky.

In this series it actually makes sense when the MC starts very weak and whatnot, as opposed to the usual
weak (and/or spineless) male MC's in alot of (or most) anime.

I don't blame Yona for reacting the way she did towards Hak, but I'm sure there was more to it than just Hak acting.....perverted. I'm pretty sure she's still not over Soo-won yet, besides, if she was she would've thrown that hair ornament away.
Yona has the intention to kill Soo-won, but she lacks the resolve

I like Yona as a main character but 19 episodes in and she hasn't improved much other than her conviction to be stronger, so I have to agree a bit.

Also this show is starting to turn into a reverse harem.

She has improved quite alot, for the most part mentally.
I guess ep 20+ shows some of the differences.

I have to disagree.
Btw, I define a harem as 3+ females/males in love with the same person. You can have 100 of a
gender interacting with one of the opposite gender, and it would still not be a harem unless they're
in love with that one.

So far Hak and whatshisname (the one in the army) are the only ones that appears to be in love
with her, while the rest simply likes her as a person/friend/companion.

That Yona needs to prove herself when she's commanding/providing her entire group to help out seems a bit much to me, but I suppose it does help push along her development, particularly with Jae-ha.

Isn't it quite logical that she had to prove herself just like the rest of them?
Also note that the test was a bit different for Yona than the rest. They were accepted based on what
they could do/provide, while she was tested (and accepted) on trust/reliability.

Not really; it would be no different than asking the old lady to cross a cliff for some medicine. Yona doesn't need to be strong to be helpful, and shimmying across the cliff doesn't prove reliability or trustworthyness. Even if we say it's to prove she's willing to put herself in danger, it's dubious to suggest that being brave and being trustworthy are the same thing.

She provided the dragons; that in itself should have qualified her. Kija started to invoke this himself, but Yona stopped him. I did mention it helped push along her development; this is mostly because she stopped Kija- she wanted to prove to herself that she had worth. That doesn't make it any less silly for the pirate leader to require it in the first place, however.

I'd say that her test probably was to attempt to fetch the medicine + the following conversation
with the captain.. not just fetching the medicine (because that were apparently seen as very difficult
for the best of them).

If I ask you to do X, and you try to do X and fail*, but you intend to repeat same to succeed because
thats what you promised..wouldn't it show that you are trustworthy/reliable more than it would show
that you're brave?

He was there as security, but if she went with his suggestion she would have failed to prove herself
to those three she needed to prove herself to..the captain due to the upcoming battle, the dragon
that she wants on her team, and to herself.

*fail based on defined conditions.

No, it wouldn't have qualified her..because of her position.
They would follow Yona's orders, and if she suddenly changed her mind..
Considering what the captain do for a living, it probably wouldn't be the first time.

The way I understood it, it seemed like it was more of a test to make sure Yona wasn't the kind of person who would get cold feet in the middle of the battle. Like it's pretty much her proving that, at the very least, what she can bring to the table is dedication to whatever her role is rather than just standing around being useless and in the way.

Well actually I think it would show that she's brave considering she's willing to yet again go back and traverse the cliff even though she was terrified the first time around.

It's nice to see Yona-chans determination. I have to say, to watch a 1080p ep. on a computer laptop screen and 55" TV is two whole different things on different scales. Damn, it's much more enjoyable to. I should start doing that.

Hhah, I have to try to watch hentai on it too. 1080p hentai. LOL

Well the Rule 101 for climbing/hiking is not to wear loose clothing since they lead to tangle or trip and not to mention extremely dangerous against wind gust. Yona being 15 is understandable but Jae-ha is 25 and should know better. Maybe Kusanagi Mizuho sensei (our Mangaka-san) was too dazzled by Frodo Baggins because he did the same (easy to relate to since she is a Lord of the Rings fan). =_=

Oooh man tensions between Hak and Jeaha… I think Jeaha has definitely fallen for Yona, but it'll definitely be interesting to see how he struggles with how much of his feelings are his own versus the dragon's blood inside him. :D Also, Hak and Yona's hand. That was pretty hot, but he probably thought Yona didn't take it too well. The captain is so cool; I like her a bunch.

Ugh, honey-licking... as a woman, I wince every time when it's portrayed as sexy, because it really is not sexy for the one getting sticky crud poured on you. It never comes all the way off until you take a shower, it gets caught in your hair and makes a giant mess, it gets all over the sheets and all over you and all over everything and then you have to do laundry before you go to sleep or you have ants by morning and God forbid it pools and sinks through to the mattress... Ugh. Not worth it. And outside? Poor Yona is gonna be covered in ants and swarmed by files and other nasty stuff until she gets a good bath.

/ladyrant

Loved this episode. I will miss Yona when it's gone, this is officially my favorite current show. I really hope Yona gets a season two. At the least I hope we met the yellow dragon.

To those saying Yona doesn't have a harem, aren't both the white and green dragons super in like-like with her, alongside Hak?

No, she is basically worshipped by them which is something quite different, much of it is/was because
their blood telling them to, but also because they see her as a(n unexpectedly) worthy master.

Green(/white) is sometimes a bit flirty, but that's more or less it.
Some of it appears to be just to annoy/tease Hak.

I don't think white have entirely let go of "why does she need Hak when she has a proud dragon to
protect her?".

Fair enough, but half the time harems are based on less concrete bonds than that. Dunno. I suppose it comes down to what the white dragon decides his purpose is. As far as Green, every good harem needs the flirty one who trolls around making inappropriate comments, no?

There are a few definitions of a harem, and that's why I mentioned what would be required to match
my definition in post #61 (3+ people being in love with the same target).

If you would see a close-knit group of (male/female/both) friends as eachothers harem then
you probably don't subscribe to the same definition.

lol, wasn't that role already filled by Hak? :)

I would say that Kija does have romantic feelings for her, but it's not really anything he'll admit or act on. I would think the same goes for Jae-ha.

BHak becomes more and more perverted >o<
But I like that XP
I love how there is not only the right amount of romace (not too much and not too little) but also how the relationship between Hak and Yona developes. I mean Hak isn't standing still, he is moving on with his affection for Yona (ok even though he doesn't want that).
And then there is Jae Ha noe, I think he'll bring them even nearer to one another while making Hak all jealous ^^ I thought the green drqgon would be a nerd who always act like a mother but Jae Ha is really cool :)
The only negative thing I would say so far is that every character gets eneuogh' screen time' except Sinho. I know he is shy and introverted but I sometimes forget that is is even there... Even his squirell has a lot more scenes ><

great stuff happening all around though but a few minor complaints here and there like
Yona take off your cloak
and
"dat path is too narrow for me" but then proceeds to clear the entire path in one huge leap...
I understand that adrenaline and the desire to save Yona made that possible but it still made me laugh.

This show has the best characters. Amazing. Yona is one of the best female characters I've seen in a long time. Even the side cast are great like the three dragons.

Also why the fck are y'all romanticizing everything? The dragons aren't in love with her. They respect her.

Good episode, but not as good as the last few. Just a couple too many monologues and a little too slow paced. Looks like the following episodes are going to be intense, though!

Episode that does not find much my interest, but a must for the construction of history.
Shortly immersive storytelling, especially in the first moments during the test facing Yona to become a member of the crew.
Not bad though sickly sweet the second part of the story.
