1. Words Of Affirmation

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.

ive been a bf fan for years and i never knew this existed until now! im so glad i found it, theyre such beautiful illustrations

i havent seen many people talking about these so here it is in case someone has yet to see it :)

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.
