| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- OMG! The Yona and Hak chapter that millions of fans all over the world have been waiting for so long and I am surprised how cute it was! But did Hak just hit Ayame on the head there?! Talk about hitting Yona's confidence! Yona's faces were extra precious in this chapter! And the moment she realized what she had actually done back then! Seeing her running inside her tent, cooping up under the blanket, facepalming in embarrassment and what not! How long was that when we had a chapter like this?! ❤ But I have to give credit to Hak the way he never changed the way he saw Yona. I love how devoted he is to her. It makes me feel a bit sad though when I think that the late King Il probably always wanted Hak to be Yona's husband and become the future king. I still cannot get that smile he showed out of my head after so many years since I read that chapter when he said he didn't realize Yona and Hak were in that kind of relationship. But that is something we will never know. Anyways, the chase was fun! These two are so precious to me I don't know where to start! But I wish Hak would drop the hierarchy he has maintained for so long whenever he is serious for once. I will patiently wait for the day when he calls her by just "Yona". 5/5 |

slightly-angelic said: shanimebib said: But I wish Hak would drop the hierarchy he has maintained for so long whenever he is serious for once. I will patiently wait for the day when he calls her by just "Yona". Maybe I'm simply reading your post wrong but wasn't it Yona who didn't want Hak to call her by name even though he'd wanted to? That blame can't really be placed on Hak. He's merely doing what Yona wanted him to do in the first place. It was Yona who basically pushed that gap between them wider when she wanted him to remember her past and that she's Kouka's Princess. As I recall it, Hak was rather sad about the whole thing but gave in to her wishes regardless. If anyone is going to fix this issue, this master/servant thing they still have going on between them after all this time, I would think Yona is responsible and should be the one to fix it. She can be a bit slow though in regards to relationships, so I doubt she has even caught on yet to how problematic it is that the two of them aren't viewing one another as equals. No. You got it right. Partially though. He wasn't sad because of not being able to call her "Yona". He was sad because he has been all too aware all these times that she is the daughter of the King he served, the King with whom he made the promise to protect the Princess of Kouka. Notice that I mentioned when he is serious he treats Yona as a real princess as she was. Also, Yona asked her to call her as Princess back then when she didn't even fall in love with Hak. It was also because it was her true identity and an acknowledgement that she sought that she was the daughter of the King of Kouka. Just like you said, I think Yona will soon realize that it was none other than herself who also contributed to maintain the hierarchy they have between them. Hak is like Serizawa Mii from NG Life (one of my favourite heroines in manga). He will honour Yona's decision regardless of what it is. If you have read NG Life: I think Kusanagi Mizuho-sensei loves writing romance between two characters where one is absolutely devoted to the other one from the start, while the other gradually falls in love with the devoted one yet there is wall between them that they must break to become together. Sensei is not the first mangaka to have the same type of relationship in their works but it still works out well and appreciated by fans because these relationships are beautiful and intriguing at the same time. One of my favourite mangaka is Motomi Kyousuke-sensei. In her works I see Daisy's relationship with Teru is just the same as Kyuutarou's with Fumi. |

Natsume_hikari said: I can never like this kind of romance when characters are too oblivious to apparant mutual love . Apparent to us. But not to them. Yona was oblivious but she was probably confident of letting Hak know her feelings until the misunderstanding regarding Ayame when she left halfway through the talks with just the knowledge that Mun-Deok selected Ayame to be Hak's bride (but that was also when they were kids and Ayame already has a lover, the part which Yona missed) and thus she was hit by it. Not to mention she took Hak for granted but believed Hak's actions were only because she was once the Princess of Kouka. Even during the comedic running aways I felt the emphasize was put on how Hak approached each and every time referring her as "Princess". She was probably confident that she was the only girl Hak was ever close to since they were kids. I am sure she wouldn't have reacted like that unless the thing concerning Ayame came to hit her. She realized she only ever was thinking about herself selfishly, and never really knew anything about Hak nor how he actually felt, which is true. Of course, for Hak, the love isn't mutual. It's still a one sided love which he believes will always remain unrequited. And after the way Yona dealt with him and even disregarded that incident as a mere form of greeting (out of embarrassment and regrets) and apologizing to him that she would never do such a thing ever again, it only made things worse for Hak, as if she was drawing a line. On top of that, she hurt Hak unbelievably in this chapter after their conversation led to her telling Hak that she will be okay on her own from now on so Hak can go back to the wind tribe (out of showing her consideration after all these times, out of her regret for being so selfish) after he mentioned it was Yona who wanted him to be with her, for which, Hak only thanked her for her concern and said nothing more. She basically dumped him without even realizing what she was doing. |

| @Natsume_hikari Notice how I mentioned that instead of kiss? Not once it has been mentioned that Yona actually kissed Hak. And Kusanagi Mizuho-sensei wouldn't confirm when asked IF they actually kissed which I have mentioned in one of my posts under a spoiler tag earlier as fans in Japan had suspected, it probably wasn't a kiss. Sensei doesn't do concealed kiss scenes in her manga, so anyone who read her previous works would be prone to suspicions, and now I am almost sure the suspicion was correct, which is evident after how lightly Hak reacted to it. The closest thing that was mentioned that their faces were close. Oh, yeah. The honey licking. Thanks for reminding me that because it was the most awkward moment in the whole manga so far. That, I won't deny. |

That, I won't deny. I'm 100% certain it was a kiss, simply because how both of them reacted. They both totally freaked out, Hak thought he is in the afterlife and had no coherent thoughts, meanwhile Yona deeply regretted her action because Hak didn't answer to the kiss (We all know it was because he was shocked to the core but Yona misunderstood that.) So yes, pretty certain she did kiss him, otherwise their reactions would make no sense. And in this chapter Hak also outright asked her what was it all about. If it is not a kiss, it doesn't really make sense. |
| “Unconsciously, her heart is pounding…” <- I read this line out loud, and lol, I was told, “Obviously your heart would be pounding. I’d be afraid if you had to consciously tell your heart to pound” XD LOL at the translator’s note!! “who gives a fuck if he never comes home!” XD I hope that Japanese idiom (men being well enough to work and send money home, therefore not coming home) isn’t still alive. xD Ayame and Saki are in love? I wouldn’t mind seeing their love story, if Kusanagi writes it well. I love Kija’s “Princess!! Is it a ruffian!? Is it a bug!?” LOL, the true princess is here. <33 Good to see that Zeno is in good shape again. ^^ And awe, when Jae-ha asked Hak to help him sit up too. It was nice of Hak to help Kija. xD Ah, Yona ended up running away from Hak… She’s embarrassed, but she needed to confront the romance sooner or later… :x Although, I do applaud Hak’s straightforwardness. Hak’s not a smooth talker, but he’s honest. Geez, Yona, no one would have accepted a mouth-to-mouth kiss as a greeting! She really had courage for saying that. I would have been too embarrassed if I was in her position. xP I do like that Yona mentioned that it was okay for Hak to return to the Wind Tribe. After all, that is his choice. 😊 It’s too bad Yona was left confused at the end, and Hak may have been hurt... Natsume_hikari said: I love that you expressed your thoughts about this chapter in only one sentence! :P Eventually, Yona and Hak will know, and we can move on from their romance being dragged out. Yona and Hak could have became a couple, if she was honest about the kiss, and shared what she had heard earlier, for Hak to clarify that he and Ayame are not engaged and that he likes her. :/ Communication really is key...I can never like this kind of romance when characters are too oblivious to apparant mutual love . |
