Akatsuki no Yona

>>154268503
what is this about? romance?

>>154268759
A historical fantasy/romance, I think.

>>154268503
Yona a cute!

>>154268759
Fantasy adventure/romance. Girl adventures around with her bishonen bodyguards. Its kinda cute and wasn't all that bad if you are into that kinda thing.

Wait. Does this mean we are nearing the end?

I liked the anime but wasn't interested enough to read the manga

>Yona taking charge

>>154270026
I really doubt it. That's another reason why this kiss is so good, you don't normally get kissu until close to the end, if at all.

>>154268503
I dropped the manga ages ago. I remember thinking it could have been good if the dragon harem was omitted.

Anime stopped right after getting all four dragons. That's when adventures begin in the manga.

>>154271152
But unless the Kai empire attacks (again) then there's not much peace left to make.
To the south, Sei already gave up on the idea of attacking Kouka and Xing is being dealt with in this arc.
To the North, they already stopped an invasion with the Fire Tribe and even regained terrain from Northern Kai.

>>154271744
True, what I meant is that this is definitely not the final arc, or we'd know. Magazines usually advertise that. And there's the whole matter of the prophecy, which hasn't been brought up since chapter 50something.

>>154271584
>dragon harem
But Yona stated several times that she thinks of them as family. And they said they think of her as a little sister/saviour/whatever.
And Hak won the Yonab owl several chapters ago. She even got rid of the hairpin and kissed him (as seen in >>154268503)

>>154271901
>chapter 50something
43, actually.

I would gladly watch a second season, but I can't be bothered to pick up the manga.
I remember the threads while it was airing very fondly.

>>154271935
>And they said they think of her as a little sister/saviour/whatever
Pretty sure the green-haired dude wants to bone her. It's just that he knows Hak already won.

>>154271935
They're not bad because they're a harem, I just think it would be a lot better if she travelled around gathering political allies rather than getting a bunch of super-strong super-loyal servants for free.

>>154272069
>if she travelled around gathering political allies
I don't know where you dropped it, but that's exactly what she's been doing since she completed her dragon collection.

>>154268503
So, how did he react?

>>154272243
Shock and disbelief. This guy is even denser than Yona.

>>154272243
He is been blue balled for so many years he probably thinks she just meant that as a friend

>he probably thinks she just meant that as a friend
I mean, he was pretty fucking angry with her afterwards, so probably.

>>154271901
>the prophecy
Oh, yeah. I forgot we had one of those.

>Darkness has fallen upon the land.
>The blood of the dragons will revive once again,
>and the ancient pact will be kept.

>When the four dragons are gathered,
>the sword and shield which will protect the king shall awaken,
>and the Red Dragon shall restore the dawn at last.

Still waiting for that sword and shield to awaken. I personally think it'll be Hak and Soo Won.

>>154272159
Well then I guess I need to pick this up again.

By the way have you guys read Basara? I liked that manga a lot.

>>154273019
>By the way have you guys read Basara?
It's one of my top manga.

>>154273019
I do warn you, though, that all of her connections are a side effect of Yona helping people. She never went looking for them, if that's what you meant with "gathering political allies". She's still far from a political mastermind.

Give me another new Chiwa Saito MC please

>>154271901
It's definitely not the final arc despite the kiss making it seem otherwise. It probably happened because Hak will disappear for a while (in battle or something) which might or might not lead to the shield and sword awakening or whatever

>>154271901
>>154274072
The kiss is probably just to create some misunderstandings.
Hak seems baffled by it, and probably thinks she did it to shut him up or something. She seems really ashamed of kissing him out of the blue. So I'm sure we'll get nothing but an awkward reunion later. Just like the honey licking before.

>>154274506
My retarded theory is
>Hak is always around so Yona feels safe
>x happens and Hak disappears because of something
>Yona no longer feels safe even with the dragons around
>this triggers the sword and shield awakening
>they find sword and shield
>plot causes Hak to reappear

Also I wouldn't mind the sword or shield being a girl, there's a limit to how many sausages you can have around her

>>154274506
>I'm sure we'll get nothing but an awkward reunion later
I think they need to talk about things once and for all, so I hope not.

>>154272036
Green haird dude wants to bone EVERYONE in the cast, males included.
>>154270026
>Wait. Does this mean we are nearing the end?
No, but it means some serious shit is going down. Yona is away from both dragons and Hak, she's the most defenseless she's ever been. My money is on war with Xing and the Wind/Fire treason backfiring horribly, leading into the lowest point she will ever be in. The Kai empire ought to be the endgame. Like, Soo Won will get his way winning the war with Xing, but Kai will be something even as smooth motherfucker as him cannot win, and Yona's no-violence approach will prevail in the end, coming full circle with her father's principles.

Heroic death after admitting defeat for Soo Won, heroic sacrifice to bring Yona back from death for the dragons, winrar and best girl title for Hak.

>>154274814
Hak going MIA would be interesting.
We've seen Yona separated from the dragons and Hak before (while kidnapped with Lili by the Sei kingdom) and she kept her heroic ways, but knowing that the dragons are hostages and Hak's nowhere to be seen might break her down.
I'd like more boobies in the party too. Just Yona and a squirrel is not enough. Yun should have been a female, so we could get some lady bonding or dragon romance, or something.

But this whole sword and shield thing is kind of silly when she already has Zeno as a shield and three more dragons for offense.

>>154276267
>she's the most defenseless she's ever been
>leading into the lowest point she will ever be in
Meaning rape, hopefully.

Soo won did nothing wrong

>>154268503
I wonder how this arc will end, I see no way to avoid war right now.

>>154277632
Except leaving witnesses.

>>154278224
I honestly have no idea what the hell could the Fire tribe accomplish in the conflict.
Or how Yona got from the castle city to the Fire tribe in less than three days.

>>154278556
The Fire Tribe is simple, they wanted to rule the place and had everything ready by the time Soo Won took the throne so they went ahead with their plans.

Do you guys know of any other ongoing shoujo adventure manga?

>>154279954
Josei, but 7seeds is excellent.

>>154279954
Kujira no Kora wa Sajou ni Utau, I think the scans are dead but it's going to have an anime.
For josei, 7seeds and Bokura no Kiseki.

i forgot this was a manga till i saw it pop up, where has it been?

This one, very Nausicaa-ish.

>>154278556
As the guy said already, in order to be the rulers. With how Yona's father made the whole kingdom pretty weak and divided, it would have been easy for them to seize control. They just never expected that someone else would take the throne AND be competent enough to get the tribes in order again.

As for how Yona getting there faster, presumably its cause she's(or they, cant remember if the rest was with her) on horses while the army had to march slowly since there's still foot soldiers.

>>154268503
aw shit

picked back up.

>>154278936
>>154284612
What? No, I mean in this arc's conflict with the Xing kingdom. Yona went to ask Tae Jun for help. And I don't know what she expects from him (specially when the Fire tribe is still recovering from the failed coup d'etat you mention).

If OP doesn't mind, this could be an AnY/Shoujo thread. Currently waiting for scanlations to catch up with pic related. There hasn't been a good crossdressing male lead since Usotsuki Lily, and I like this author's sense of humor.
Yes, the blonde one has a D.

>>154280693
>Bokura no Kiseki
I enjoyed it a lot, but I have shit memory so it became hard having to remember all those names and faces, and the magic world's names and faces.

>>154284788
I think she just wants to have an interview with Soo Won directly.

>>154280693
>Bokura no Kiseki

>>154285279
It's really hard to keep the characters straight following it month to month.

I enjoyed the anime quite a lot, what's the chance for a second season?

>>154285526
probably slim to none

but who knows, it got a few OVAs.

>>154285387
Plus all those "I was someone else all along" plot twists.

>>154285526
>what's the chance for a second season?
None, by now. There's enough material and no continuity issues, but I remember some delays with S1's releases and not very good sales.
It was just a promotional anime. It fulfilled its mission.

>>154285349
The school parts doesn't make it feels like it but it's still a story about a fantasy world with wars and magic.
Even if the present-world characters spend more time chatting and plotting, they also get some action and fighting.

>>154285526
I wouldn't bet a penny on it but I would love it. The anime covered no more than the introduction part, the good shit starts right after.

>>154285830
Then its just fantasy/action. Adventure requires them to actually be moving around. Even in their fantasy world, they all just stayed in the castle.

>mfw soo won hears about the kiss/hairpin and pulls a griffith

>>154287388
I want to see Soo Won have a Stalin-esqe mental break down eventually.

The people and his inner circle slowly turn on him because of his warhawkish ways and attempt to usurp his thrown the same way he did with King Il.

He begins to get freakishly paranoid and begins making terrible decisions that end up benefiting the Kai Empire.

>>154287621
>Crazy tyrannic Stalin Soo Won
I want this now.

>>154271744
So Yona's from not-Goguryeo, with Sei = Baekje, and Xing = Silla?

>>154288183
Pretty much, yeah. Clothes and all that look pretty korean to me.

>>154287621
>>154287388
Remember who the target audience is for this. The most obvious ending would be soo won pulls a last minute heroic sacrafice. The non death ending would be he resigns after reuniting the kingdom and marries lilli

>Remember who the target audience is for this.
Story does get out of its demographic sometimes, with the Zeno mutilation and drowned drug addicts.

Still, I agree. Soo Won hasn't been depicted as a bad person, and even Yona understood that a change was necessary in order to save the kingdom. so I doubt he'll get a bad end.
Yet he still carries the sin of killing Yona's father. So either he sacrifices, or somehow it's revealed that he didn't killed him and he has a happy ending too.

>>154271152
>you don't normally get kissu until close to the end
In shoujo manga that focus about romance they kiss all the time, Yona is not

>>154289531
>In shoujo manga that focus about romance they kiss all the time
Not really, they can blue ball their readers as much as shounen romance series.

>>154268503
whoa I guess I should pick it up again

>>154273019
>>154284750
>>154290366
Did the sales dropped and the author is trying to get people to repick the manga? The kiss seemed really out of nowhere and not matching the situation at all. Still satisfying, and I guess it did a good job with boosting readers.

>>154290709
probably

although the previous chapter foreshadowed this one due to Yona giving up the fancy hair clip Won gave her.

it was going to happen eventually.

>>154289024
Lilly is from the fire tribe right? Or was it water

>>154268503
Time to pick it back up again.
What was the chapter where we were learning about Yellow's past?

>>154292331
>the previous chapter foreshadowed this one due to Yona giving up the fancy hair clip Won gave her.
>it was going to happen eventually.
At the pace the relationship was moving, giving up the hairclip was a big step from her already. Wasn't expecting a kiss the very next chapter.

>>154292368
Daughter of the Water tribe leader.

>>154292380
Starts around chapter 100.
