Hangout Akatsuki no Yona Hangout Thread

[Mini_kinkin]

As I said, I don’t think he needed to properly refuse her when he never properly declared his love for her and never made it clear beyond all doubt that he loves and wants to marry her, all Yona had were situation which are arguable at the very best. If Yona assumed too much, it was her problem. He promised her nothing.

You and I are seeing this differently. If someone is head over heels in love with you, the least you could do is tell that person to their face and not tell them "I see you as a woman now." That just makes it worse. In some cases things just needed to be said clearly, esp since Yona so stubbornly loved him.

Su-won did tell clearly that he cannot marry Yona. All Hak needed to do in this situation was to ask him why?

Yes but I am not only speaking about this. I am speaking about all his feelings about Yu-Hon, Il etc. He never shared that with his supposed two closest friends and always had a large wall around him.

I don’t think that Su-won knew that her crush was such a serious thing or expected that it was so. Well, in a way it is impossible to say how strong someone’s feelings are unless you can do mind reading. Even if he knew about her crush on him, he might have thought that it is nothing serious or just one of her whims.

Besides, when he asked why she came to her father’s room and he why she was awake so late at night and got his answers that she wanted to tell father that she couldn’t forget Su-won, he is shown with eyes wide open, so I always thought it was an expression of surprise.

We know that Yona was very serious, because we have access to her thoughts as readers and we know that she wanted to marry him. Did Su-won even know that Yona wanted to marry him? It doesn’t seem so, so it very likely looked different from his perspective.

I think if Hak asked Su-won about his reasons for which he cannot marry Yona, Su-won’s answer would lead him to it. Even if Su-won didn't tell him, he would likely get more hints, put pieces together and discover it himself.

Yes? So it isn't "I won't be your friend anymore if you don't marry Yona" its "You obviously need to marry Yona to be king and that is the only way I will acknowledge you as a king."

I don't see anything wrong with that statement.

Anyway...

So yea let s call it a day...
It was so clearly worded that he would just and only acknowledge Soo Won, if he married Yona...

If this is how you feel friendship should be then there is no point arguing further on this as we will never see eye to eye.

Most likely.

Edit: What I mean to say is everyone has their own standards of friendship, so arguing over that sort of thing is pointless. Like I may think that best friends should be able to tell anything to each other, but others may not feel the same way. So yeah. Wanted to clarify so it doesn't sound rude.

The thing was that it was not an opinion or even an advice...it was a condition!

Yona had absolutely no qualms insulting and scolding Hak, and neither did Tae-Jun or Mun Dok too for that matter so why is Soo-Won the great exception?

Yona is the princess, who was raised oblivious to the world outside, she never experienced much before and Soo Won was raised differently. King Il obviously also stated the fact that Soo Won was not King Hiryuu by avoiding to use the word "no" so in fact...Soo Won s indirect pattern of speech was far more usual than Yona s direct way.

The way it is written I don t think that Soo Won would have never

We don t know

Hints like? Like I said he trusted Soo-Won and didn't seem to think Soo-Won would do something so suspicious. His biggest mistake was trusting Soo-Won, and for that he surely needs to reflect.

Hints?
The fact that he told him no. that he wouldn t want to marry Yona
The fact that he cried on his shoulder and Hak didn t consider it strange.
These are just a few examples!

First spoilers for chapter 154 are out, aaand

Spoiler

Seems we'll get some flashbacks this time, and a pretty dark face from Il toward little Su-won. Can't wait to see that :3

That is interesting. So Soo Won and King Il are pretty similar...

I am happy to see that ANY received a section of it's own.I am reading the manga chapters and really enjoying it.

Wait a minute.... is it normal for our convo to be jumping from one thread to the other??? Bec i replied in the hangouts thread but the replies magically went to two other threads... hmmmm... weird...

This was me.

I moved posts that have a specific topic. The Hangout Thread is more for general discussion about the series.

Feel free to create threads in the AnY forum on talking points that aren't covered as well.

Hello there! I'm Indian as well . Glad to see more guys appreciate AnY. It's not your typical shoujo after all.

Well the plot is political,so it could have been passed as Shounen also.

And Nice to see you i am from Kolkata.

Same here since I'm very happy that Yona got a section and I guess the husbusdo wars made you a Yona fan.

I had the anime few months back before Husbamdo Wars started.Then after finishing the anime started the Manga.

Well, from the spoilers it seems that Tea-jun, and as an extension Yona, is going to be spared any consequences, since Tea-jun is happy that Kai really attacked and he will not fall into troubles for giving a fake signal. If this gets confirmed, I don’t care what will happen in this manga anymore.

Seriously, what else can be there as far as the story is concerned? Glorious Yona saving the day with her power of luck AGAIN.

I have had enough of this and it sounds super boring. I am not interested in Yona’s journey to become Mary Sue. There are other stories to read and I found a story that looks like it will be a promising replacement.

Which manga? Is it historical fantasy?

Can you recommend? Is it manga or a novel? I am looking for some good fantasy novels to read.

Add me to the question, though I suppose I'll read AnY till the end, if only out of hope it'll get better near the finale...

Also, @Mini_kinkin, if you don't mind I could recommend you some fantasy novels, it's kinda my genre of choice ^.^"

It is not fantasy. I just thought that I will get round to reading March Comes in Like a Lion after finishing the anime, since it has so nicely done characters.

Do you know any other historical manga/manhwa/manhua? Similar to chang ge xing/ AnY in terms of art? I like it when the author draws her characters well~ esp the men.
I usually judge a book by its cover.

Yes please let me know!

Oh cool. Same writer as Honey and Clover. Thanks!

 

[Aniela]

Yes please let me know!

I created a conversation about it, so we don't spam this thread any longer. If someone else wishes to be added, please let me know

 

[Arjuna]

Finally caught up with the latest chapter.

Hoping to join you all in discussions soon.

 

[Brandish μ]

New poll added (please vote) regarding this...

The problem with having a separate thread per chapter (instead of two constant "spoiler" and "last chapter" threads) is that the discussion becomes divided into parts, and sometimes continuing it might prove difficult.

 

[Aniela]

I'm having a very exhausting argument in another thread, and I just wanted to pop in to say how much I love you guys. We don't always agree, and there're sometimes pretty heated discussions, but at the end of the day we can still talk to each other and learn from each other - and it's great.

Just wanted to get this out. I hope it's not an offtopic? ^.^"

Awww yeah I agree. Like our views sometimes don't match about AnY, but I am glad we can talk to each other in a civil way and learn things from each other. Going to miss you guys once AnY ends.
