WHY THE FUCK I'M STILL NOT OVER BANANA FISH😭😭😭😭

Hey does anyone in the bananafish fandom have a pdf for all the manga??

Eiji was the only one who made Ash look like the kid and teen he should’ve been without all the madness. And in the strangest way, Ash brought out the spark Eiji lost back in Japan.

I kind of want to see a live action series of Banana Fish. Just like they did in One Piece. This thought started from when I first found out who Ash and Eiji were based off on. I’m really just wondering. I do think it has potential. If any of you disagree it’s fine ofc. I’m just curious is all.

I think, what made me love Banana Fish so much despite the many sad, violent, and tragic things that went down was the very broad relationship of Ash and Eiji. Cliche to say? Maybe. I will always be grateful that Yoshida chose this direction than have it as another het story. With what those two have they didn't need to be in specifics on who they are to each other or what it means to be together. I remember in Garden of Light, Sing described their relationship as "more than romantic" got to me. That shifted a lot of things within my aroace mind and heart. Anyone can interpret it as romantic or platonic alike or possibly both. It's just great that, you can simply love someone so much by just existing as themselves, without, and together.

Eiji the professional photographer. Let's talk about it!

Though this might be obvious, Eiji's "journaling" is basically through photos. He seems to be the type to take in the moments, than write them down. Along the way, I think he's finding a bit of his place and new found interest in photography. I wonder about what kept Eiji going in that path even after Ash? We see him locking out Ash's photos away for a long time in Garden of Light. If he ever wrote down things still, that would be an interesting idea to take, considering they were always on the go. Probably written stuff during nights, as he looks at the photos he recently have taken.

There's probably him realizing that being an athlete may not be what he wanted in the long run, there's the injury I don't think he has gotten over with because he did took that hard and there wasn't much time to even heal from it from all the events that went down with Ash. Okay maybe he's gotten to terms with it somehow behind the scenes, since being in the USA gave his world a huge unexpected shift.

Going back, it feels like Eiji continued photography as a way to cope, to heal, but definitely with the passion along with it because even he can't even look at Ash's image for a long time. Yet the very image of him transpired a lot of things in him. But of course, I do think Eiji found his footing and desire through this art himself, his eyes always had a thing for things unseen, his eyes are dark of color yet the depth does exist in them. They always have.

Another matching icons. And another episode of me and who? Hahaha.

Ash and Eiji's first meeting felt like two universes colliding. You can feel the entire room shift even when there's nothing to shake it, and see the colors turn a bit brighter than usual. The moment they locked eyes it feels uncertain yet they were so sure of each other at the same time.

I guess Ash is somewhat guarded since Ibe's there. Knowing how he can't trust adults so much. Yet the next scenes that come after their first eye contact, Ash is interested, testy or maybe teasing even towards Eiji. To say the least they were both interested in each other. Curious.

Here's some Ash and Eiji matching icons. I tried bringing out the colors on the clearest copy of this photo. ☕️

Wish I'd have someone to pair it with, that'd be swell gshsbs.

Remember when Eiji told Ash he has a little sister? Ash immediately thought she must be adorable. Somehow, it feels like an indirect way of saying that he thinks Eiji is cute. 👀

Hi again, I might just be yelling at a void. Banana Fish folks, let's follow each other on twitter if you like? Mine's @reply1990_98!

My aroace ass and my deep yearning for somebody anyway. Just. Ugh. Why do I have to feel this way? I think that queerplatonic yearning started from Ash and Eiji's relationship. It almost hurts me physically. I miss and pine for someone I haven't even met.

I'm awkward and anxious as hell, but if there's a Banana Fish discord I could join in, please let me know. I can't keep suffering through this yearly banana fish depression alone everytime. Really want someone I can fully share it with aaaa, hell, maybe not just BF related all the time too. So yes yes, please let me know. 👉🏻👈🏻
