yona of the dawn 268 thoughts!!

once again, we have yet another hakyona-centered chapter; only this time, it’s a true testament of their love. i have been waiting for a hakyona reunion for SO LONG, and i am feeling so bittersweet now that it happened.

yona is faced with the decision to go to the heavens or have hak die. this is the last trick the gods have for her, and it was the best decision they could make. yona's love for the dragons is powerful, but her love for hak is immeasurable.

hak was the one to save her from soowon, was the one who protected her throughout their many obstacles, loved her so much yet was fine never telling her for her own sake. time and time again, hak has proven to cherish and deeply love yona. all these memories from the manga come to light in this moment to emphasize the strong connection between the lovers.

“i could never let you die.” despite yona’s perseverance in the chalice, this is the one time she has given up. her connection to hak is more profound than anything. the dragons may all be connected to one another, but hak is the one person she has stuck beside since childhood. in the face of danger, how could she possibly allow hak to get hurt? the one person whom she has vowed to protect? she picked up weapons IN ORDER to protect him, so how could she give up the love of her life? the answer is she can’t. not by a long shot!

“i’m counting on you.”

another important component in this chapter is hak relying on soowon. from the moment soowon betrayed hak and yona, hak has not been one to let it go. unlike the others, he can’t easily move on from such painful memories. although it seemed he was calm and collected, everytime he faced soowon a part of him was slowly breaking. hak’s love for Yona is undeniable, but he has also come to love the dragons & yoon. his desire to protect the ones he loves knows no bounds. he’ll put himself on the line to save yona repeatedly. however, now since he can call soowon his ally, he’s more than willing to rely on him.

after all this time watching hakyona and soowon become more estranged, we have FINALLY reached the point where all three of them can work together. although so much pain and suffering has happened, the love for one another has never changed. soowon is the best possible chance of saving everyone, and i’m so glad hak can see that again.

this chapter ends with a bittersweet ending of hak proposing to yona. despite the circumstances, he has managed to somehow stay alive in the chalice and even SPEAK to yona. although yona was more than willing to return to the heavens for him, we all know hak isn’t one to back down when it comes to yona.

i believe hak has no intention of giving up on saving yona and the dragons. he has shown many times that he isn’t one to back down when it comes to his loved ones. all he can do in this instance is keep yona pushing forward with her goal to save the dragons. the only one who has stuck beside her since the beginning has been hak. he has seen her at her weakest and has seen her at her strongest. he knows yona has what it takes to stand up again. so, all hak can do is give her some encouragement, show her he loves her, and believe that yona can save them all.

this chapter was beautiful, and although i was waiting for a hakyona reunion, i wish it was under better circumstances. but i’m so happy to see their love stay strong even through this painful arc.

i am never moving on from this. they are so madly in love it makes me want to cry. hak holding her so gently, with the sweetest smile on his face while yona smiles so brightly. hakyona changed my life. they are just so beautiful and perfect to me!!!!!!!!!!! MY NEW FAVORITE HAKYONA DRAWING!! <33333333

i love hakyona so very much. ever since i first watched yona of the dawn, their relationship has been so special to me. from leaving the place they called home to running around looking for the dragons. they saw each other at their best and worst. their love was slow but so beautifully written. they see each other for who they truly are. what i love the most is how they BOTH are willing to do anything to keep the other safe. hakyona’s love story is one of the best ever created.

akayona has completely shattered my heart in every way possible. from the dragon gods wanting to take yona away from earth to watching the current dragons we love struggle to survive. zeno, kija, jaeha, and shinah are willing to lose everything just to bring yona back to earth, while yona is willing to do the same.

in each new chapter, we watch their love and devotion to one another be tested. there is always an obstacle that threatens to tear apart their family, and each character is putting their life on the line to save one another.

chapter 267 finally brought back hakyona but in the worst way, i could ever imagine. they have been separated with no way to communicate; they have no way to know if the other is alive or not. but right when it looks like yona is able to reach hak's hand, the dragon gods come in to threaten his life.

i have no idea how this series will end, but if anything were to happen to hak in the next chapter, i would feel sick to my stomach. hak and yoon have been on earth with no way to help the dragons and yona, completely isolated from the rest of their family. i can't imagine how helpless they are feeling at this moment.

all i hope for in the next chapter is that hak is safe and yona can return to earth. hakyona's relationship is one of my favorite ships ever created, and i just hope that we can see them back together again, along with their dragon brothers <3

new hakyona art!!

i’m obsessed with this new autumn official art!! the colors, the outfits, the birds, ao in the bottom with hoh! hakyona always look so beautiful but in this art they are SO perfect!!! they look so cozy reading the book together. the overall vibe is just so comforting, i’m obsessed!! AND HAK WEARING THE NECKLACE!!! kusanagi is so talented!!

hakyona volume cover 24

I think many of us can agree that Kusanagi has made many beautiful covers throughout the years, but one cover that sticks out to me the most is volume 24.

It's so simple, but it highlights Hakyona's development. Hak has always been the one to protect Yona, from protecting her from falling off a cliff to using his super strength to protect her from invaders, and so on. But Yona has also gathered the strength to protect her loved ones. She's no longer the naive princess but now a powerful, independent woman who can not only defend herself but her loved ones too. As Hak is protecting Yona, Yona is protecting Hak.

These two will do anything to save one another. If it means putting them in harm's way, they will bravely put themselves in danger if it means their loved one is safe and sound. This cover is just so well done and beautiful; it makes me so happy!
