(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 BFishโs anime website.
(5) Ash Lynx original concept anime design, this oneโs not to hard to find but whenever I look for it itโs 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

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.
