4.0 out of 5 stars BananaFish, Jun 18 2007

This review is from: Banana Fish Vol 1 (Paperback)

Just to clear up the front cover: This is a drawing of Seymour Glass after he shoots himself at the end of Bananafish in J.D. Salingers "Nine Stories". Just a guess.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't let the title fool you !, April 29 2004

This review is from: Banana Fish, Vol. 1 (Paperback)

Ok well, not only is the book not about a banana and a fish as one might expect, I hardly found the book's outside to depict the inside at all ! Yes it's called a shoujo , however I found it to read more like a shonen.. and although there is a few suggestive things within the first volume (just of a backround history of the main charecter being his boss's play thing) nothing is shown , not even a kiss, so don't worry yourself if the label shoujo is keeping you from reading this well written manga ^-^

4.0 out of 5 stars Did you know...?, Nov 23 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Banana Fish, Vol. 1 (Paperback)

Did you know that Banana Fish is one of Camui Gackt's -- the disturbing, Japanese singing sensation -- favorite manga. Yes, it is a shoujo, but Gackt loves it -- he said so in an interview.

So, in addition to Banana Fish I would reccommend "Under the Glass Moon" which features a cameo appearance by Gackt and his former bandmate, Mana, from Malice Mizer. Some great music that. Enjoy your manga!

I liked this manga because I'm easily amused by the shounen-ai hints and this manga has a few. I reccommend this manga if you also like shounen-ai hints, or the humor of Americans to Japanese.
