Rating Bf characters on how well I think they would perform at their Part-time job

Y'all remember the Banana Fish part-time job artworks? Well I remembered it so now it's my job to share my unwanted opinion on all of them :)

1. Ash as Pizza delivery boy: 5/10

With Ash it just really depends on his mood

He's the fastest deliverer if he wants to

But he's also the guy to deliver your pizza with half the pizza missing and his explanation being: "sorry bro I got hungry"

Also your order will "mysteriously disappear" if you don't tip him enough

2. Shorter as Waiter: 10/10

I mean it's canon that Shorter works at Chang Dai

He wants to be the future owner of the diner so his grind is strong 💪💪

Makes the customers feel comfortable and I just feel like the vibe would be good with him.

3. Sing as Messenger Boy: 7/10

I can see him having fun at this job

Problem is when he starts to have too much fun and gets too invested in people's businesses

He's gonna know every secret in every neighborhood that's nearby

Bonus point because despite acting like he's a delivery boy from the 1900's (definitely tried to speak like them as well), he does a good job

4. Eiji as Pet Groomer: 100/10

Staff was so right for this

Puppy happiness increases by 1000%

5. Yut Lung as Beauty Advisor: 9.5/10

Okay first of all he ABSOLUTELY KNOWS what he's doing so this is an amazing job choice

Will give his clients actual helpful advice and make sure they look STUNNING

Also he definitely lets you rant about your day and will gossip with you whilst fixing your mascara

(and he absolutely calls his clients "honey" or "sweetie" so bonus point)

Minor problem is he WILL judge you if he doesn't like one of your requests and he WILL let you know

6. Blanca as Bartender: -1000/10

I do not trust this man with my drink.

#but ofc they all slayed their outfits #AND PLEASE THEY ALL LOOK SO CUTE #LOOK AT THOSE DOGGOS WAAA #banana fish #ash lynx #eiji okumura #shorter wong #lee yut lung #yut lung lee #sing soo ling #blanca #also why are Shorter's glasses at the back of his head LMAO WHAT #mimi posts

I know Titanic is sad, but did you know that in Japan cutting your hair means moving on from the past? Tradition that comes from Edo period, as Samurai would chop their chonmage when they stepped away from their title, starting a new life. So Eiji's very 90s-grungy hairstyle was a symbolic resource to show his complicated grief from Ash.

I think one of my favorite scenes in Banana Fish is when Eiji careens around the corner to shoot a gun with his eyes closed.

Like BOIII IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR ASS BACK TO THE APARTMENT

taking this from my twitter acc but:

i really need you all to sit down and understand that gilserge (kaze to ki no uta) was very influential in how we see relationships in media (mainly anime but it could extend to more stuff) today and the lack of popularity they have is FOUL

like okay kazeki isn't your every day manga (it's not even a romantic story, the author said that) and i get why it's not popular but also. it's literally kind of like banana fish, dealing w similar subjects (from the top of my head i say: csa, corruption being the main ones)

and like, it's also a really crude depiction of how lack of support and bystander effect basically fucks up the victim more than the abuse themselves, gilbert was in hell itself before serge came and IT SOUNDS WRONG TO SAY HE SAVED HIM BUT THAT'S. THAT'S (kind of) WHAT HAPPENED ...

anyway i'm just saying you banana fish girlies (specially if you like yut lung ... gilbert kind of reminds me of him more than ash) would eat kazeki up it also has a happy summer volume (this is me trying to get you to read kazeki oooooh you wanna read kaze to ki no uta oh so bad)

Eiji: Oh, we're like a big happy family, and I'm the dad and Ash's the mom.

Ash: Why am I the mom? What gender roles are we pushing here?

Sing: I know they're probably thinking I'm the son, but I'm not. I'll be the gay IMO cousin.

Shorter: I will be the son. The hotshot whose only dream is to be a star.

Blanca: I feel like I'd be a fresh outta jail uncle.

Yut Lung: And I'm the sassy aunt who talks sh*t about everyone.

you know what hurts? that in a lot of banana fish official art, the characters are dressed in warmer clothing, making each scene theyre shown in take place around ash's death.

How do you personally feel about Yut-Lung? Do you sympathize with him? Dislike him?

Ohh, I hate him, and I don't understand the sympathy given to him at all. He's literally the reason Ash died. Because he manipulated Lao into believing Ash would kill Sing, which is why Lao ended up stabbing Ash in the end. And all because Yut-Lung was jealous and envious of Ash's relationship with Eiji. I know Yut-Lung had a shitty life, but his life wasn't any worse than Ash's, and yet he blamed Ash for his own inability to find real love and connection, as if Ash had anything to do with it. And he resented Ash for going through the same, horrific shit he did, but still having the capacity to love and be loved. So he did all he could to take that away from Ash, to destroy it, simply because he couldn't have the same. Let's not forget he also had the families of his brother's murdered, just to consolidate his power, including young children. People who had never done anything to him and posed no threat to him. So, yeah, Yut-Lung gets no sympathy from me, I'm afraid. He's the reason Ash died, he's a terrible person, and the abuse he suffered as a child doesn't change that fact.

ash lynx spent his life under a camera as a victim and it took his broski eiji the photographer to show him that good moments should be captured and he could be comfortable w photos and they could be good things and this was one instance of eiji showing him how to be a kid instead of a victim. in this essay i will--
