randomly remembered banana fish s ending and proceeded to cry for 30 mins straight cus why tf not
currently thinking about the crushing reality that eiji is definitely afraid of pumpkins now too. and not in the same way ash was like little kid afraid, more like the sight of them reminds him so deeply of ash and a really fond memory between the two of them that it is actually really painful for eiji. so he has ended up taking on ash’s fear. halloween is super hard for eiji. he always tries really hard to enjoy it but he never really can. he dresses up and tries so hard to pretend to be someone else just for one night but he just sees ash everywhere on halloween
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. 👀

California Story is seen as the predecessor to Banana Fish following very similar themes, as well with taking place in New York City too, except set in the late 70s. I highly recommend you read it, I did right after I finished the BFish manga, its around 50-60ish chapters.
The story follows Heath Swanson who's run away from his home in San Diego and travels cross country to NYC to live with some friends. On the way, he meets another runaway kid named Eve, who's dream is to visit California. Eve grows an attachment to Heath and follows him along to New York and they begin on their time surviving NYC in the late 70s.
Also, this story is where Jenkins and Charlie first showed up fun fact, so it too takes place in the same world as banana fish.

Speedpaint and image ID below the cut!
[ID: A digital painting with an atmosphere similar to the second ending of the anime Banana Fish. The camera is from Ash's perspective, watching Eiji, who is facing the sun. However, unlike in the RED ending where Ash is in Eiji's shadow, Eiji is holding Ash's hand and leading him toward the light, through the rye field. END ID]
[ID: A timelapse of the previous painting being drawn digitally, with no audio. END ID]
