Admittedly, I Was A Little Destabilized When I Picked Up That Title For The First Time, And Now I Wish

Yoneda-sensei answers tweets about Saezuru part 3.

Q: All the Saezuru characters have their own unique personalities and quirks that make them fascinating, but did you by any chance model any of them from any real-life person?

A : No, I didn’t model any of them after real-life people.

Q : What is the height difference between Yashiro-san and Doumeki-san? Doumeki-san looks really tall.

A : Yashiro - 178 cm (5'8), Doumeki - 190 cm (6'1) (I don’t think I’ll draw any other character taller than this LOL)

Kageyama - 183 cm (5'11), Kuga - 170 cm (5'6)

Q : What types of underwear do those two have?

A : Yashiro doesn-… or rather, he wears normal briefs. Not the boxer type ones but more the bikini type. Doumeki wears normal boxers.

Q : I’m really, really, really curious about Doumeki’s normal/casual clothes. For me, he’s even more mysterious than Yashiro-san, so simply even telling us whether he’s into jeans and stuff will bring me tears of joy!

A: Doumeki isn’t really the type that cares about appearance, so he’s the type to just wear a simple white shirt and jeans.

Q : Has Doumeki ever had a girlfriend?

A : He’s had 2 girlfriends in the past (Please refer to Vol.2 Chapter 5)

Q : Why did you choose “Doumeki” as the lead’s surname? It’s a very unusual surname isn’t it? (t/n: Not many Japanese have this surname. Literally, the characters 百目鬼 means 100-eyed demon)

A: I had a female classmate in the past who had the same surname. I wanted Doumeki to have a really strong appearance and equally strong name as well.

Q : What type of place does Doumeki live in? Is it one of those typical apartments with a diagonal staircase? Will we have a scene in the future where Yashiro-san will go hang out there with him?

(t/n: this was in early 2015, so probably in the middle of Vol 3)

A : Yes, it’s an apartment. It might be good if there can be a scene like that, but I can’t really say…

(t/n : thank heavens they did more than “hang out” in volume 6 Lol)

Q : Tell us what kind of tattoo does Misumi-san have.

A : It’s a karajishi botan tattoo. (t/n: Lion and peony backpiece - said to protect from evil)

Q: Do you have any favorite scenes or dialogues from Volume 1 and 2?

A : I like that scene where Doumeki got hit by a box of condoms (Vol 1), and that flashback scene of Yashiro and Misumi in the snow (Vol 2).

Q : The story between that doctor and mad dog couple feels unfinished. Will there be a sequel?

A : Another stand alone story about them might be a bit of a long-shot… But I’m glad you liked their story!

Q : Will there be a happy ending or I should prepare for the worst????

A: I can’t answer this question . I am sorry.

Q: The clumsy exchange of feelings between Yashiro and Doumeki are sooo painful to watch right now, but does Sensei already have in mind an “ending scene” of sorts for the two of them? Or are you the type to think it up as you go along?

A : I already have it in mind.

This 😭

With the popularity of the upcoming anime, I decided to make a master post for fans new and old, as well as for those who are curious about the series!  What is Banana Fish? Banana Fish is a manga series by Akimi Yoshida. Originally published in 1985, it follows the story of Ash Lynx, a charismatic gang leader, as he grapples with figuring out the mystery of “banana fish” that turns his life upside down. The story also centers around the close relationship between Ash Lynx and Eiji Okumura, a young Japanese photographer’s assistant who came to New York to photograph the city, but ends up getting caught up in Ash’s violent life.  DISCLAIMER: Banana Fish is definitely not for everyone. Some of the topics Banana Fish deals with are violence, drugs, rape, pedophilia, child abuse, gang warfare, racism, prostitution, and death. None of the sexual content is shown explicitly. I recommend not investing in this series if these topics make you uncomfortable.

Manga - The main story consists of 19 volumes. VIZ Media licensed a english translation in 1999-2002, with flipped L to R pages and censored dialogue. VIZ later released a full re-translation of the series of all 19 volumes. Both have since been out of print. Can be read in full here, in English. The manga is also getting a gorgeous box edition which can be found on Amazon. (Japanese only) 

Side stories - An extra volume, titled Banana Fish: Another Story consists of five side stories that take place before and after the events in the main story. Highly recommended to read after you finish the main story. Raws 

Angel Eyes -prequel that tells the story of how Ash and Shorter met. Included in VIZ’s translation of Banana Fish.

The Garden with Holy Light - Epilogue to Banana Fish. Included in VIZ’s translation of Banana Fish. Private Opinion - Prequel that tells the story of how Ash and Blanca first met. Untranslated. Fly boy, in the sky - Prequel that tells the story of how Eiji and Ibé met. Untranslated.

Ura Banana - Short, comedic story about Ash and Eiji discussing fan mail with Akimi Yoshida. Untranslated.

Media   Anime- A Banana Fish anime is in the works! Set to premier July 2018, it is being produced by the studio MAPPA and will consist of 24 episodes. The biggest change will be that the story is set to modern day. You can find more information here on ANN. (Will update this section when we get closer to the date) Radio drama - A radio drama for Banana Fish was produced in 1996. @bananafishlovers was kind enough to compile the drama CDs into a playlist which can be found here. Untranslated, but you can follow along with the audio if you have the manga close by. Stage adaption - A stage adaption for Banana Fish was produced in 2012. Very hard to find outside of Japan, here’s a preview  (Warning: stage silliness) Asrun Dream - A song from the album Mars by Gackt. In an interview with Akimi Yoshida, “Asrun Dream is an older song of his [Gackt], inspired by Banana Fish. He said that when he wrote it, he imagined Eiji asleep in bed while Ash looks out the window to the night sky.” (lyrics + source) Extras Angel Eyes - Not related to the side story of the same name, Angel Eyes was a Banana Fish art book by Akimi Yoshida. The short story, That Summer, is also included in the art book. You can read it here and here  You can find copies of the book on Amazon or on Japanese bidding sites, but please be warned that the price for it has skyrocketed since it is a rare book.  Banana Fish REBIRTH - Official guide book to Banana Fish. This book includes an extensive analysis on the story and characters, and the setting of New York City. Harder to find than Angel Eyes, but also just as crazy expensive. I hope this covers everything. If you have any questions, suggestions, or corrections, let me know! I’ll also be updating this post as more information about Banana Fish is released.  

Anyone has that clip where Charles is actually filmed doing this?

Charles really loves a Carlos close up

I feel like I’ve discovered the best thing, learned that it’s been going on for 4 years (albeit more) and it’s stopping before I get to understand it.

Wait. This is exactly what happened

BAHRAIN 2022 | Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz celebrating their 1-2 with Lewis Hamilton on the podium.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice RPF, DCU RPF Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Ben Affleck/Henry Cavill Characters: Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill Additional Tags: Not Beta Read, Beta Wanted Summary:

A ficlet, and an exploration of what makes Ben lean against Henry so casually.

I think some of them get Bruce Wayne more than they get Batman, and some of them get Batman more than they get Bruce Wayne. I think Ben Affleck has probably gotten the best balance of the two. He’s a really good Bruce Wayne and a really good Batman.

Charles making sure he apologizes to Carlos is where my heart lives. This is so important. He wanted to make sure Carlos knew he didn’t mean it

charles made sure to go up and talk to carlos after the race so that's nice i guess (i am assuming he maybe apologized but obvs we don't know)

very sweet and I’m sure they’ll talk about everything properly later as they always do

@powerdadbatman

Pretty sure this is the one: Mapplethorpe, Calla Lily, 1984

It was even sold at Christie’s... Maybe acquired by one Wayne buyer ?

@powerdadbatman Any chance anyone knows which photograph it is?!? Wanna see it in HD! #SoMuchToResearch

Unfortunately Zack didn’t specify and I don’t have a HD quality screencap on hand. Before you start your research, please know Mapplethorpe’s work is mostly NSFW. I mean, full frontal male nudity. All the time. 

However, I think Bruce would choose something less vulgar. Take the flower series for example:

That is totally penis inside of vagina but you know what I mean.
