Eiji was the only one who made Ash look like the kid and teen he should’ve been without all the madness. And in the strangest way, Ash brought out the spark Eiji lost back in Japan.
I kind of want to see a live action series of Banana Fish. Just like they did in One Piece. This thought started from when I first found out who Ash and Eiji were based off on. I’m really just wondering. I do think it has potential. If any of you disagree it’s fine ofc. I’m just curious is all.
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.
Another matching icons. And another episode of me and who? Hahaha.
Ash and Eiji's first meeting felt like two universes colliding. You can feel the entire room shift even when there's nothing to shake it, and see the colors turn a bit brighter than usual. The moment they locked eyes it feels uncertain yet they were so sure of each other at the same time.
I guess Ash is somewhat guarded since Ibe's there. Knowing how he can't trust adults so much. Yet the next scenes that come after their first eye contact, Ash is interested, testy or maybe teasing even towards Eiji. To say the least they were both interested in each other. Curious.
Here's some Ash and Eiji matching icons. I tried bringing out the colors on the clearest copy of this photo. ☕️
Wish I'd have someone to pair it with, that'd be swell gshsbs.
My aroace ass and my deep yearning for somebody anyway. Just. Ugh. Why do I have to feel this way? I think that queerplatonic yearning started from Ash and Eiji's relationship. It almost hurts me physically. I miss and pine for someone I haven't even met.
Someone please tell me im not the only one who hopes Ash is not dead. Like we didn,t saw him die just him passed out in the library. Like problably what the anime ment was to show us that he was dead. But there is always hope. Right?
I mean he could totally be found there by another person and then just be alive and go to Japan eventually.
