Banana Fish

***Banana Fish*** is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Akimi Yoshida. It was serialized in the manga magazine *Bessatsu Shōjo Comic* from 1985 to 1994, and collected into nineteen *tankōbon* volumes by Shogakukan. *Banana Fish* follows the relationship between Ash Lynx, a teenage gang leader in New York City, and Eiji Okumura, a Japanese photographer's assistant. The series is noted as a crossover success between *shōjo* (girls' manga) and *shōnen* (boys' manga) audiences, and for its influence on the boys' love (BL) genre. Its title is derived from the J. D. Salinger short story "A Perfect Day for Bananafish".

The series was adapted into a 24-episode anime television series by MAPPA in 2018, which aired on Noitamina; the series is syndicated globally by Amazon on Prime Video, which simulcast the series during its original broadcast run. An English-language translation of the manga was published in North America by Viz Media, which serialized *Banana Fish* in the manga magazines *Pulp* and *Animerica Extra*.

## Synopsis

Aslan Jade Callenreese, known as Ash Lynx, was a runaway picked off the streets of New York City and raised by the infamous godfather of the mafia, Dino Golzine. Now 17 years old and the boss of his own gang, Ash gets his hands on a mysterious drug called "Banana Fish"—the same two words his older brother, Griffin, has muttered since his return from the Iraq War. However, his investigation is hindered when Dino sends his men to retrieve the drug from Ash at an underground bar he uses as a hideout.

At the bar, Skip, Ash's friend, introduces him to Shunichi Ibe and his assistant, Eiji Okumura, who are Japanese photographers reporting on American street gangs. However, their conversation is interrupted when Shorter Wong, one of Ash's allies, calls to warn him about Dino. Soon, Dino's men storm the bar, and in the ensuing chaos kidnap Skip and Eiji. Now, Ash must find a way to rescue them and continue his investigation into Banana Fish, but will his history with the mafia prevent him from succeeding?

Manhwa

**Manhwa** is a South Korean term for comics and graphic novels. And manwhas are usually based on the setting in South Korea and uses a lot of Korean culture as their story elements. Unlike Japanese mangas, manwhas have colors in their stories while mangas tend to have the colors black and white in their stories.

## History

The term *manhwa* came into popular use in Korea during the 1920s, when it was applied to cartoons. Korea was under Japanese occupation from 1910 to 1945 and during this time elements of Japanese language and culture were incorporated into Korean society. By the mid 1920s, most political newspapers were shut down, and political and social cartoons were abandoned in favor of children’s and humorous illustrations.

Political cartoons slowly reemerged following the establishment of the Republic of Korea (commonly known as South Korea) in 1948. During the early years of Japanese occupation, newspaper comics featured a great deal of social criticism. Popular artist Kim Yong-hwan started Korea’s first comic magazine, *Manhwa Haengjin*, in 1948, but it was quickly shut down because the authorities disapproved of the cover.

The popularity of comics rose during the 1950s and 1960s, and the diversity of styles and subject matter led to the creation of new genres such as sunjeong (or soonjung), romantic stories aimed at young women (equivalent to the Japanese genre Shoujo). Manhwabang, comics cafés and stores that allowed readers to pay a set rate to sit and read comics, were also introduced to the public. In response to the increasing publication of comics, as well as social and political changes within South Korea, the government began to enforce censorship laws and, by the mid-1960s, created a comics distribution monopoly that further censored *manhwa*.

Manga influenced *manhwa* from the medium’s beginnings during the Japanese occupation of Korea and continued to exert a powerful influence as the manga industry became a major force within Japanese culture and began to export comics abroad. The author or artist of a *manhwa* is called a *manhwaga* (만화가; 漫畵家). *Manhwaga* were not culturally isolated, and the influx of manga into the Korean comics market had a strong effect on the art and content of many artists’ *manhwa*

Spontaneous Human Combustion: a chaotic phenomenon that has plagued humanity for years, randomly transforming ordinary people into flaming, violent creatures known as Infernals. While Infernals make up the first-generation accounts of Human Combustion, the second and third generations became known as pyrokinetics—people gifted with the ability to manipulate and control their flames while remaining human. To combat the Infernal threat and discover the cause, the Tokyo Armed Forces, Fire Defense Agency, and Holy Church of Sol produced their answer: the Special Fire Force.

Young and eager third-generation pyrokinetic Shinra Kusakabe, nicknamed Devil's Footprints for his explosive ability to ignite his feet at will, becomes a member of the lively Special Fire Force Company 8. Upholding the brigade's duty to extinguish the blazing Infernals and lay their souls to rest, Shinra is determined to become a hero who will save the lives of those threatened by the flame terror.

However, this is not the hero's game Shinra imagined. The Fire Force is a fractured mess of feuding brigades, abnormal Infernal sightings are increasing all over Tokyo, and a shadowy group is claiming to have answers to the strange fire that caused the death of Shinra's family 12 years ago. Faced with many obstacles within and outside the Fire Force, Shinra fights to uncover the truth behind the burning mysteries that have kept him in the dark.

Phantom Troupe

The Phantom Troupe (幻影旅団, *Gen'ei Ryodan*), also known as the Spiders (蜘蛛, *Kumo*), is the name for a gang of thieves with a 13 membership roster that changes, usually when a member is killed, to take their place in the organization or chosen by their leader Chrollo to replace one who has died, each member bearing a numbered tattoo of a 12-legged spider. Chrollo and the other founding members of the Phantom Troupe all originated in the slum Meteor City (流星街, *Ryūseigai*), a place where the residents do not exist in any official records with many hired by various criminal organizations. Although they mainly steal and kill, they occasionally do philanthropic work. Currently, after he murdered two of their members following his defeat by Chrollo, the Phantom Troupe are on board the Black Whale hunting down Hisoka for revenge.

## Overview

The group consists of thirteen members, all of whom are highly skilled Nen users. Each member has a numbered tattoo of a twelve-legged spider on their body. Those wishing to join the group can do so by killing a current member, thereby replacing them. If a vacancy opens due to a member dying or other causes, the leader of the group, Chrollo Lucilfer, is responsible for replacing them.

Among their crimes was the massacre of the Kurta Clan, Kurapika's family, committed only for the sake of retrieving the Kurta Clan's characteristic Scarlet Eyes. They occasionally do philanthropic work, and are a major asset to Meteor City's military force: for example, when bombs failed against Zazan and her invasion, the Spiders took the initiative and demolished her and her army of Chimera Ants, even without their leader to guide them. They are, however, considered outliers even by Meteor City standards.

Despite their close ties to each other, they will allow those who have killed their members to join. Chrollo organized a revenge massacre of the Mafia Community in deceased Troupe member #11 Uvogin's honor, although Machi speculated he might ask Kurapika (Uvogin's killer) to become a Spider.

## Origins

The Phantom Troupe and most of its members originate from Meteor City, a junkyard city that is inhabited by outcasts. People who live there do not exist in any official records, and the existence of the city itself is known to very few people. Sometime in the past, Chrollo Lucilfer formed the Phantom Troupe with at least six other Meteor City residents and left the city. The founding members of the Troupe were Chrollo himself, Feitan, Machi, Nobunaga, Pakunoda, Franklin, and Uvogin, with the possible inclusion of Phinks and Shalnark.

Seishuu Handa is an up-and-coming calligrapher: young, handsome, talented, and unfortunately, a narcissist to boot. When a veteran labels his award-winning piece as "unoriginal," Seishuu quickly loses his cool with severe repercussions.

As punishment, and also in order to aid him in self-reflection, Seishuu's father exiles him to the Goto Islands, far from the comfortable Tokyo lifestyle the temperamental artist is used to. Now thrown into a rural setting, Seishuu must attempt to find new inspiration and develop his own unique art style—that is, if boisterous children (headed by the frisky Naru Kotoishi), fujoshi middle schoolers, and energetic old men stop barging into his house! The newest addition to the intimate and quirky Goto community only wants to get some work done, but the islands are far from the peaceful countryside he signed up for. Thanks to his wacky neighbors who are entirely incapable of minding their own business, the arrogant calligrapher learns so much more than he ever hoped to.

## Synopsis

Following a sudden outbreak of psychokinesis in 0.1% of the population, a rapid transformation swept the world. The godlike ability to manipulate matter remotely turned many power wielders to violence, inciting a long period of upheaval. Finally, after a chaotic era shaped by the rise and fall of oppressive regimes, the psychic humans were able to achieve a fragile peace by isolating their society, creating a new world bound by complex rules.

In the town of Kamisu 66, 12-year-old Saki Watanabe has just awakened to her powers and is relieved to rejoin her friends—the mischievous Satoru Asahina, the shy Mamoru Itou, the cheerful Maria Akizuki, and Shun Aonuma, a mysterious boy whom Saki admires—at Sage Academy, a special school for psychics. However, unease looms as Saki begins to question the fate of those unable to awaken to their powers, and the children begin to get involved with secretive matters such as the rumored Tainted Cats said to abduct children.

*Shinsekai yori* tells the unique coming-of-age story of Saki and her friends as they journey to grow into their roles in the supposed utopia. Accepting these roles, however, might not come easy when faced with the dark and shocking truths of society, and the impending havoc born from the new world.
