#for a long time i was really mad at akimi yoshida for how she would talk about the story/characters and what she'd do with them

Does anyone else also interpret the Banana Fish anime and the manga as like, different stories? I know they're not that different but it's the little differences that make them feel like separate to me

#i haven't read the whole manga yet but with the little i've read i feel a huge difference between #the story akimi yoshida tried to tell vs the story the anime wanted to tell #i hope that makes sense #for a long time i was really mad at akimi yoshida for how she would talk about the story/characters and what she'd do with them #as an anime-first fan #but now i feel like maybe i was a bit too harsh and i can interpret the anime and the manga as having different messages #not to exempt yoshida from all blame. there's still stuff i heavily disagree with her on and do not at all endorse #but i think i like looking at it this way #if anyone who's read the whole manga and watched the anime wants to chime in please do so! i'm very open to discussion on this subject #banana fish #cat rambles
