THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The test for her is to go through a dangerous road to get the herb. She got afraid of the height, but she doesn't give up even though Rokuryuu told her to give up if she's afraid. That made Rokuryuu more curious about her.

The tide made it more difficult and Rokuryuu saved her. She told the leader about the truth and said she wants to try again again, which made the leader accept her. Bishounen guy hugging her like mother worrying about her is so cute.

Rokuryuu understood how childhood guy felt when guarding her and asked if he likes her. That kind of moved him a bit and kind of showed the emotion when tending her scar. So that leader wanted to disband the pirate after everything is done.

The battle soon.

Well, she managed to get the job (sort of) done after all. Episode felt slow but it showed Yona's courageous side. Is it also just me or does Hak REALLY seem to be enjoying licking Yona's hand this episode??

That really was quite the cliff. Really enjoyed how Yona's resolve wasn't based on one thing at all which just shows how much weight she is carrying through each step!

Ao running on the cliff shows how narrow it was and the waves too T.T Trembling and crying would be an understatement.

Jae-ha is sort of declining it but it didn't feel like that at the end.

The Captain is quite awesome to talk back on Yun, and also accepting Yona for her honesty and efforts!

Jae-ha bringing the Thunder Beast out! Let us not waste that honey.

The battle soon, that preview with Yun crossdressing,I might be looking forward to that the most. Never knew honey worked so well with splinters.

Awesome as usual :D

Loved Saito Chiwa's VAing when Yona was scared. The choppy speech while she was trying to force herself really nicely depicted the fear :3

Ao's scenes are always lol XD
How it was being happy even while Yona was scared as hell and he eats fish O_o?
Lol'd at when he got squashed by Yun when he was hugging Yona XD

Yona's "Urk" when Jaeha told her her legs are shaking was cute ^^
Why didn't she take of the cape though lol, it would've been much easier XD

Jaeha's falling for her and he can't resist that cuteness :3 Loved how Gigan started liking her after seeing Dem guts :)

Lol at Hak saying Jaeha looks 10 years older XD

Hak trolling Yona about the needle and her reaction was so cute >.<

Dat HakxYona licking hand scene and Yona's blush was so friggin KAWAIIII <3 Too much cuteness for Me HNNNNNGGGGG <3

The real action is about to commence >.< Can't wait :3

He may be enjoying it, but the fangirls are enjoying it way more xD Hak is just pure Fanservice material

Also Chiwa's voice acting was wonderful! She's really talented when it comes to voice sad or trembling voice. It just felt so real.

Can't wait next week omg!

Also Yun hugging Yona was cute.

Yona's determination to complete the job even when she's trembling in fear was commendable. She has been getting some gradual development lately.

Jae-ha pretty much fell for her after observing up close, no matter how much he denies it. I mean, who wouldn't fall for her? Even Hak got carried away! That was totally an OTP scene. :3

Looks like one major battle is incoming. Kumji forces won't stand any chances anyways.

Good episode. That cross-dress Yun in the PV though.. from Bishounen to Bishoujo? XD

Great episode to show Yona's determination! She knows that atm she can't do much and what Captain Gigan said about her being dead weight is true, and although she admits she was scared at the cliff, she still kept going forward, all the while trembling and crying (well not crying the whole way :P). It's the fear of losing someone else close to her and also fear of seeing others lose their sloe ones that keeps her going. Everyone keeps saying she's just a girl, but that doesn't mean she can't fight in her own ways. Jae-ha was so worried about Yona that he unconsciously kept following her. It definitely caught him off guard that the king he heard about is actually a "weak" and tiny girl.

Yesss that beautiful scene <3 Way more intense animated though lol.

And so the real part starts.

It's kinda funny when you think about it, Jae-ha could have get that famous herb in less than a minute x)
But she still managed to get it somehow, that's great. Ao is a scumbag for being all happy while she's totally terrified :P

That honey scene was hoooot, dayum. Hak and his unrequited love... that seem to become more and more requited. She also added a bunch of pirates to her harem! She's destined to become a harem queen, but she can still have a favorite :3

Hak kinda licked the honey, uh, out of nowhere (at least from Yona's point of view). Maybe she only wants him to be her friend and not her lover.

I dislike how so many characters are calling Yona a weak girl. What she lacks in physical strength she definitely makes up for in courage and passion, as she is willing to do anything for her friends. Although I don't think she quite understands the line between bravery and stupidity yet. Saying that she'd get the healing herb in the middle of a battlefield while it's raining arrows if one of her friends is not something I'd call bravery over stupidity because it will cause her to die and not solve her friend's problem. Even if she helps out all she can, she can't be reckless because it is imperative that she survives. And it's not that I'm calling her stupid, I really think she has a lot of courage and great potential, but I think she definitely has a lot more to learn.

Anyway, I'm thinking this might turn into a 30+ episode show. They still have to fight this battle, find and befriend the fourth dragon, and take the castle back and I'm not really sure how they'; be able to fit all that into the next 5-7 episodes.

Poor Yona, don't cry!

Well, uh, we didn't need those gory images.

AI DAYO.

Damn that cliff is hella narrow though.

Aww Yun is just like a mom.

I would have laughed too xD

If Jeaha is 25 and Yona 15, I'd consider that pedophilia. She's just too young in my eyes, but if a few years were to pass then perhaps it's fine.

Yeah, her hands looked pretty rough, I was wondering what was up.

WHAT THE HELL HAK. SHE'S ONLY 15. DON'T MAKE HER START FEELING THE PHYSICAL FUNNIES.

This is why I can never like Jae-ha. Jae-ha sees Hak right through his only weakness. While Hak keeps on fighting his desire to see Yona as a woman, Jae-ha always pushes the poor guy to the point where he loses his resolve. I know I contradict myself when I say I like to see more Hak and Yona moments, but I don't want to see Hak being toyed around by Jae-ha's teasing time and again.

Slow episode, but I like it like that. Like someone said earlier, the slow characterization of AnY's characters is what makes this show so good.

While the "Honey" scene wasn't as good as the one in the new To Love-Ru Darkness OVA with Yui Kotegawa, it was still full of god damn win. I love Yona's adventures so much (Su-won a suck). I can't wait to see Yun cross-dressing next episode.

After seeing yona for 18 episodes , I think we could all definetly tell that she was gonna get those godamn flowers even if trying to could kill her , and I really like that side of her . jae-ha is also starting to open his heart a little bit :3.

As for honey scene , they are definetly trying to kill us , with all that tension in the air D:. It's obvious that haku is reaching his limit with Yona, he wants her so bad it's driving him crazy.( even if he dont wanna admit it). Anyways , they are starting to bring out more the romance reflexions and aspects , im happy that this anime takes it time to put everything in place *^^*

Amazing episode , as always :3

Another great episode with Yona developing even more as a character. I kind of like it when Jae-ha gives Hak a little forward push in the romance with Yona. Gods know that Hak needs it.

And that honey scene....one of the sexier scenes I've watched this week in anime. They are rapidly becoming one of my favourite couples.

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.

The honey scene was pretty creepy, to be honest. That was a very intimate act; I thought Yona's surprise was somewhat understated, which isn't something I notice often in anime.

It looks like we'll be getting into the meat of this sub-arc in the next episode.

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.

I remember reading this part in the manga; I was vehemently in denial that I ship Yona x Jaeha. After watching this episode I finally gave in. It's quite interesting seeing how he develops a romantic interest in the princess after seeing her in action.
I've always adored this kind of dynamic (loving a person based on their personality).

I also must confess that a slow paced plot is a good choice. It gives plenty of time to flesh out the characters, otherwise I would've dropped the anime/manga long time ago.
