Status Updates From Yona of the Dawn, Vol. 6

it was already very obvious but i appreciate the confirmation that jaeha exaggerates his promiscuity to deflect from his true emotions and struggles. and i LOVE how the boys are already acting like such a family oh my god

i love that it’s now becoming a bit of a running theme for people to be in disbelief that princess yona could possess the fierceness that she does, and now it’s even morphing into a tactic for concealing her identity. now that she has more knowledge of how she’s been perceived all her life, she’s learning how to lean into that weak, sheltered little girl persona when it can benefit her

OKAY HAK IM RIGHT THERE WITH YOU
love a man who wants his woman to be able to kick his ass and scare the shit out of him with the sheer power of her intensity and determination

god i LOVE how whenever hak tries to persuade yona to be more careful he always does it in private. he’ll bite his tongue in the group so he never undermines her strength but even if he knows it’s pointless he can’t help but go to her separately and BEG her to reconsider. he’s also protecting his own vulnerability by keeping these convos private too

NO WAIT NOW GI-GAN CANT DIE NO NO NO I TAKE ALL MY PREDICTIONS BACK YONA CANNOT LOSE ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBER

AJXNDMXKKDCKKC hak, gija, and jaeha all eagerly volunteering to pose as women to go with yona on the mission is SO GOOD. they all know they’re gorgeous and yknow what they’re right

oh god now i’m worried that gi-gan is gonna die during the attack and her last wish will be for jaeha to go with yona…..calling it now

oh my god????????? the tension???? the yearning???? yona getting so flustered she had to RUN OFF??? and hak of course beating himself up for letting himself WANT after pushing down his feelings so staunchly for so many years. love that all it took was one comment from jaeha to get him all twisted up about his feelings and wanting to prove that the desire was still there AND that yona will never reciprocate (she does)

jaeha age confirmation!!!!! he’s 25, which is a few years older than i thought (22) but he definitely did read as the oldest so i’m glad i at least clocked that cause sometimes i’m so embarrassingly off with guessing manga character ages

hey boys can we stop calling people girls (derogatory) in front of the FEMALE PIRATE CAPTAIN?????? like read the room

“you’re just a girl” no actually she’s a fucking king and you’re about to see that in action

oh woah i assumed jaeha was speaking metaphorically when he referred to his village as being a prison but he’s actually chained up here. i wonder if he had tried to run away and they felt that they had to restrain him so he would stay put and one day fulfill his duty as green dragon. his village seems like it was more in line with gija’s than sinha’s. i’m also thinking he’s gotta be older than gija

what a cool way to portray that feeling of fear-induced paralysis, with her legs just becoming this blurry void of nothingness beneath her!!!! kusanagi is a master of drawing panic

GIGGLING AND KICKING MY DAMN FEET THEY ARE SO FUCKING CUTE AND HAK IS SUCH A MENACE

i LOVE seeing gija’s faith be shaken by jaeha!!!! i’m confident that by the end of this arc, yona will not only have inspired jaeha to join their cause despite his initial reservations, but she’ll also have given gija a new reason to follow her that transcends the sense of duty that was drilled into him his entire life

I need Jae Ha to join the crew so he can rile up Hak like that again!!!!! Chapter 32!!!!!!

"I get the impression that she and you are close yet very far away at the same time."


You could not be more right, Jae Ha.

She has honour.


Thank you Yona of the Dawn for giving me exact ages of the characters!!

"The blood of the dragon sure is a bruden."

True that.

He was kept chained... No wonder.

I wonder if anyone will die by the end. Makes sense for Mundok and Soo Won to die but what if one of the dragons dies?? I'll probably cry my eyes out.
