Such a cute girl, how can she hurt anyone.

I need therapy specifically for the emotional damage Banana Fish has caused me lol

Read the manga (again) two days ago 🥲I'm hurt

Banana Fish fic recs

It feels like it's been years since I posted one of these; my bad

Almond Milk: Barista Sing falls for a haughty new customer. Rating: General Audiences

Chaos Theory: Ash's posthumous impact on the people who cared about him. Rating: Teen Audiences

Dusk Til Dawn: Howl's Moving Castle AU. Fun Fact: I watched HMC for the first time, just so I could read and understand this fic, and it was worth it. Rating: Teen Audiences

golden fly-boy: Eiji makes it to the Olympics, with Ash by his side. Rating: Teen Audiences

The Hands of a lover, and other synonyms for comfort: Ash may not be able to define his relationship with Eiji, but he knows that it doesn't hurt. Rating: Teen Audiences

If you'll return to my side: After breaking up with Eiji, Ash goes to Max and Jessica for advice. Rating: General Audiences

porgi, amor, qualche ristoro: While enjoying the winter holidays in Izumo, a commercial triggers bad memories for Ash. Rating: Mature (mentions of Ash's past trauma/CSA, description of severe anxiety attack)

Postcards: Ash Lynx is dead; Eiji starts recieving random postcards from him. Rating: Mature (mentions of past abuse/assault, graphic depictions of violence). I highly recommend subscribing to Special Agent Rick Henry, FBI, which is this fic's companion piece, written from Ash's perspective.

The Song of a Dull Knife: a jet-lagged Eiji rushes to visit Ash in the hospital. Rating: Teen Audiences

What Is and What Can Never Be: The only way to save Eiji is for Ash Lynx to die, and Ash knows it. Rating: Teen Audiences (not as sad as it sounds, I swear)

Previous List

Make sure to check all tags before reading these; I try to give summaries so that you know what you're getting into, but double check. And if you can, give a comment/Kudos for any fics you liked. Enjoy!

Bonus: here's some official art to cry over

Banana Fish Miscellaneous -> stageplay, signature artwork, booklet, concept art

(1) Not sure where this one comes from..might have been a booklet newspaper advertising Garden of Light

(2) Signature artwork uploaded by @/haruharummy on Twitter. Do not know how old it is. It was uploaded in 2018, but the user says they received it at a signing event somewhere when they were in high school.

(3) Stage Play images pulled from Mercari JP.

(4) Congratulations artwork found on BFish’s anime website.

(5) Ash Lynx original concept anime design, this one’s not to hard to find but whenever I look for it it’s always zoomed in lol (personally like this concept better his hair is his River Phoenix design.)

(6&7) Stage play scans found on wiki.

Last image is a magazine clipping from 1987.

Mainly think I will be focusing on archiving manga work for this blog and not the anime or stage any other form of adaptation but will see lol

Anne Shirley (2025)

Eiji lost his found family as quickly as he found it.

Goodnight.

Eiji asking to hold Ashs gun when they first met was a metaphor for consent.

For my first BF related post, I'm sharing gifs I made. I chose manga panels from volume 1 that I thought would be the easiest to animate.

The idea I had was to animate a few panels from every volume. So keep an eye out.

You can use the gifs as long as you credit me.

some people liked my ash that i drew, so here are ash n eiji that i drew last year
