Nope, I don´t like alcohol or any kind of drugs. I try to find the solution. It is a trick I think. I used trial and error for 8 months and came to the conclusion that there is much confusion in this work, because nobody can see themselves clearly. Everybody does not like themselves. In Akatsuki no Yona. I would like to explain it in a more solid form.
Everybody wears mask was the conclusion Shin ha came to. And he saw people mostly clearly. Sometimes he didn´t either, because of his parents.
Sometimes people confused other people with their mirrors. People tend to confuse Soo Won and Yona. Hak came to the correct conclusion, like Lily that Yona and Soo Won are not that much different from each other. This whole manga hangs on the sole fact that Soo Won wanted to be Yona´s mother.
And therefore he resumed a role to rescue her. But he was confused, too. Hak became his predecessor and not Yona. And now there are all waiting for Lily, who did not appear and who will likely become "Hiryuu".
Because it is the queen, who has the power, not the king. It is called "The Queen´s Wind". The person, who assumed to be powerless, was actually the "real Hiryuu".
Everybody spoke the truth from her or his perspective. So everybody was wrong and right. Just like everybody here is always right and wrong. Because we cannot truly see ourselves. Therefore we are always a tit blind.
This work has more to do with socialisation and blood relationships, I mean, nurture and nature than with every magical bond.
But it is alright, if you do not see it my way. I try to explain my perspective and then people can either understand it or not. That is solely up to you.
You have to "see for yourself", as Shin ha understood it. Soo Won wanted to "think for himself". Both wished to become independant.
Kusanagi did not wanted to serve you the answer. You have to come to your own conclusion. Based on where you stand in your life, the answer might be quite different.
I am 100 % sure, that everybody will be happy in the end. But I am still a little confused who resembles who. I think, the characters are the person in that work, they hate the most. Nobody loves herself or himself yet.
Everything must fit in some way, then we know the answers. But this would be most likely only be achieved if everybody searched for answers. Rereading this work is the clue.
You will see some chapters differently based on what development you made in life. The perspective of a child and an adult is quite different. And will also shift with time.
