Banana Fish, Volume 19 (Banana Fish (Graphic Novels))

Book Description

VICE CITY: NEW YORK IN THE 80s... Nature made Ash Lynx beautiful; nurture made him a cold ruthless killer. A child runaway brought up as the adopted heir, hatchet man, and sex toy of "Papa" Dino Golzine, the East Coast's Corsican crime lord, Ash is now at the rebellious age of seventeen - forsaking the kingdom of power and riches held out by the devil who raised him, preferring a code he can live with among a small but loyal gang of street thugs. But his "Papa" can't simply let him go - not when the hideous secret that drove Ash's older brother mad in Vietnam has suddenly fallen into his insatiably ambitious hands. It's exactly the wrong time for Eiji Okamura, a pure-hearted young photographer from Japan, to arrive in NYC and make Ash Lynx's acquaintance... and fall with him into the bloody whirlpool of pride, greed, lust and wrath unleashed by the enigma code-named Banana Fish...

Epic in scope, and one of the best-selling shojo titles of all time in Japan, Akimi Yoshida put an electric shock into the genre and gained a huge crossover audience through Banana Fish's stripped-down, non-stop style

5 Years and $250 Later.......2007-04-07

This series is one that gets better with age. The story telling, in the last three volumes especially, is superb.

This final novel is a compilation of three stories. The first is the final chapter to the main story arch, and as the blurb says, it is in turns heart warming and achingly tragic. The second features one of my favorite characters Shorter Wong, and his first unfortunate meeting with Ash Callenreese. The last is far and away my favorite. Set eight years after the end of the series it follows Akira Ibe on her first visit to New York and Sing Soo-Ling (now 6'3", kid had to grow up some time) in his attempts to redeem the sins of the dead. A breathtaking story filled with real life humor and heart break.

One of the greatest mangas ever made!.......2002-12-25

By far, it's my favorite volume. There are more scenes with Ash and Eiji together, which is a plus. I absolutley loved this manga since the first time I bought it. It's a shoujo manga that appeals to both sexes because the plot and the artwork is more like a shonen manga. You won't be bothered by the really low shonen-ai content on the manga, so I say you should give it a chance. It contains lots of violence and some mature themes, but I wouldn't call it exactly for adults.

Book Description

Ash Lynx wants revenge - against the mob boss who sent him to the pen, and against his cellmate, who shot his brother in Vietnam. While the NYPD and two Japanese journalists try to solve the puzzle they call "Banana Fish," Ash follows his own agenda.

Customer Reviews:

On the run and searching for the truth........2002-07-06

It seems that trouble follows Ash, though he does leave a trail for it to follow. Volume 3 starts with Ash still in prison, where he's being held for a murder he didn't commit, and where he's being dogged by minions of the man who framed him. Fellow prisonmate Max Lobo has declared himself to be Ash's protector, and Ash doesn't seem to have much say in the matter. Once Ash learns about his brother Griffin's fate, however, he is happy to take Lobo's (and his lawyer's) help to get out of prison and on his way.

And that, of course, is when the real fun begins.

Determined to help, Eiji finds new and interesting resources in himself and helps Ash make his escape... and his assault on the enemy. When things fail to go as planned, a newly reunited crew finds themselves on the run and looking for answers. Where their search takes them opens up more of Ash's past and gives us a better idea of how Ash turned out the way he is, and why he is so loyal to Griffin.

There are still lots of secrets left in Banana Fish, however. For instance, what, exactly, is Banana Fish? What is the connection to the man who died at Ash's feet in Volume 1? Why is Ibe so protective of Eiji? And what about those suspicious suicides? What is Papa Dino going to do now?

Like the previous two volumes, Volume 3 of Banana Fish leaves you wanting more and wondering about the future of the characters. A great read all around.
