This series keeps bringing tears to my eyes. Zeno asks Kaya to marry him, knowing full well she's sick and doesn't have much time to live, and he can't do anything about it and feeling more helpless seeing that he can't share his immortality with her. The end of the chapter was pretty heartwrenching as she passed away... TT^TT

that was really sad :( zeno will always lose the people he cares about because they can't live on forever like he can and it's just ;^;

the ending really got to me though..

poor zeno, he had such a happy time with kaya for the little time she had left in the world, and it was such a shame she wasn't aware of zeno's powers as ouryuu and when she asked zeno about meeting up in the heavens.. that must have hurt him.

Now we know why Zeno started to refer to himself as a third person. It was so that he wouldn't forget his name even after hundreds of years, as Kaya suggested.

And the title is so sad yet so fitting, "The Little Ship that Never Reaches Shore".
When someone dies, it's said that their soul would cross the river of death on a boat and they would be able to go onto their afterlife but to Zeno, who cannot die, his ship cannot reach the shore. T_T

I think that at the end of the story, Zeno will become capable of passing on and he will no longer have to be alone. Hopefully :)

^ Normally, death isn't something you'd want to wish on characters you like, but in Zeno's case... I also hope that at the end of this series, he'll be able to die. (LOL)



This was a really sad chapter, though... ;__; Poor Zeno...

and now you made me even more sad ;_; Zeno really is an embodiment of the saying that 'the saddest people are the brightest'
remember me for centuries;

And the Zeno arc draws to an end. This arc has been quite sad yet a little hopeful at the end. I wonder what'll happen next now.

I agree. It's too cruel a fate to out-live all your loved-ones.

I though about that possibility too. The other dragons never united with the reincarnation of the king.

Dat hug!! Dat friggin hug. I teared up so much T^T....from happiness tho :*)

I've been hearing lots about Zeno's backstory arcs and knew quite a bit about it so I thought I was ready emotionally but hell no I wasn't. Cried like a bitch at how sad his life's been.

I love all the dragons so much but u just can't deny his story is the most impactful. The way Kusanagi-sensei depicted Zeno's psyche and struggle throughout the 2k years was just beautiful.

Loved how we saw him visiting the current dragons when they were young. Watching the sign of Yona's birth with Kija, Shin-ah knowing he's the yellow dragon and maybe even Kija. And poor Jaeha chained up :(

Really looking forward to see where this will go now.

Dat moment between Zeno and Kaya was so cute, just a shame even he knew it would not last long ;_; Zeno easily has the saddest backstory out of all the dragons, I just want to give him a well deserved hug so badly ;~;

But that ending with him having a big group hug was so nice to see after these few tear breaking chapters.

Zeno's backstory was great. Although it was cliche the author handled it very well. I tested up once or twice while reading.

Poor Zeno. He deserves better.

I wish Zeno's backstory would've been a little longer, maybe more of his relationship and time spent with Kaya or some stuff he did on his journey, or even how he first saw Yona. But it was still great nevertheless.

I wanted to burst into tears at the end of this chapter, however I was on the bus, so I had to hold it.... TT~TT

Oh yeah. I would've loved to see his reaction to first seeing Yona. Would've been awesome. Maybe some other time?

Awww, young Ki-ja, Shin-ah, and Jae-ha were so adorable. I kinda hope the Ki-ja and Shin-ah remember meeting Zeno when they were younger.

It's really nice that we now have Zeno's background; I've been waiting for it for a while now. I just picked up the manga after finishing the anime adaptation. Finished the manga in one day. I guess my question is... how often do they release chapters? This chapter was released way back Sept. 21 。・゚・(ノД`)・゚・。

It feels like something stabbing my heart, im holding back my tears somehow. I like the part where he proposed Kaya and the way he hugged the other three dragon warriors and the reincarnation of King Hiryuu. Very touching story. :(

This has been such a satisfying backstory, as we have been waiting so long. Still, . . . . . . . he has been wondering around the country for millennium (or more) and he only had a wife ONE TIME?!?!?!? AND HE NEVER DID ANYTHING ELSE, LIKE ACTUALLY LEARN HOW TO PROPERLY FIGHT, FOREIGN LANGUAGES, ETC?!?!? I have a hard time believing that he didn't learn a bunch of cool stuff and explored the whole planet during all these centuries. I love Zeno, very much, he is my husbando ... but this is really ridiculous. There has to be more that happened!

In regards to Zeno learning to fight, his body can't actually change in anyway, like he'll never be particularly strong because he's stuck with the same body he currently has and no amount of training is going to change his muscle mass or anything. As for everything else, I dunno, I agree for the most part.
