Nature made Ash Lynx beautiful; nurture made him a cold ruthless killer. A runaway brought up as the adopted heir and sex toy of "Papa" Dino Golzine, Ash, now at the rebellious age of seventeen, forsakes the kingdom held out by the devil who raised him. But the hideous secret that drove Ash's older brother mad in Vietnam has suddenly fallen into Papa's insatiably ambitious hands—and it's exactly the wrong time for Eiji Okamura, a pure-hearted young photographer from Japan, to make Ash Lynx's acquaintance...

Maybe I've just run out of patience. After fifteen years of seeing/reading queer-adjacent stories that think this kind of subtext is good writing, that refuse to just spit it out and make it official, that's a distinct possibility.

Read full review on AniList →Review written by Loneli AND Jennadesu (<3) To start off, I always pondered starting this anime since I thought it's going to be yaoi.

Read full review on AniList →_Banana Fish_ is undeniably one of the most influential pieces of media that I have ever consumed.

Read full review on AniList →This is not exactly a review but a general look at the anime from my pov. I'd been putting off watching banana fish for a while.

Read full review on AniList →Primeiro de tudo, eu queria saber por que esse anime é classificado como Shoujo? Não acho que ter um "romance" gay faça com que seja motivo para classificar esse anime como Shoujo.

Read full review on AniList →The real heart of Banana Fish isn't the mystery surrounding the drug, it's Ash lynx. Ash Lynx is one of the most devastating portrayals of a traumatized survivor that I have ever encountered in fiction. What makes Ash so heartbreaking is that his greatest enemy is not Golzine, the gangs, or even Ban…
