Banana Fish, Vol. 6 Paperback – March 12, 2002

for some reason a little smaller than the other manga but its exactly what I ordered.

This is one of the greatest stories of all time... except the ending which will haunt you forever. Just don’t read the last volume. Although it’s also very good. Only read this is you are prepared to marry this story.

Volume 6 of Banana Fish is full of suprises, the largest (to me) being that this is not the final volume of the Banana Fish series. (I thought it was, and was quite surprised when I encountered the dreaded "... to be continued ...") Of course, this means that there is more of Amiki Yoshida's wonderful story to come, but it still came as quite a surprise.The time has come for Ash to face his enemies once and for all. Papa Dino and Arthur have captured everyone he holds dear to use as toys in their own particular brand of torment for Ash. Run-of-the- mill torture won't suffice for Ash's enemies, however. They have other plans; plans that involve the mind-altering drug code-named Banana Fish. Forced to do the unthinkable, Ash is ready to die himself, when he receives help from an unexpected ally.While Ash is plotting his escape and revenge, Ash's and Shadow's gangs are making their own plans to storm the Golzine mansion. As for Arthur and Dino, they have some very special guests to entertain...An exciting story that moves at break-neck speed, Banana Fish Volume 6 continues Akimi Yoshida's gritty story of a New York gang youth who never wanted anything more than to live his life and solve the mystery behind his brother's past. While I was disappointed to not see the culmination of the sage in this volume as I thought I would, I am eagerly awaiting further installments to the tale.

i love this manga (albeit i haven't read it yet) i know what happens in this volume therefore i am trying to make excuses: "i'll read it when i have all the volumes" or "i cant read it without the previous/next one!" okay, we all know i'm lying. any excuse to avoid the incredibly abundant surge of sadness that will immediately overpower me, bringing me to my knees in defeat. if you want to be in this position too, i suggest you buy this as soon as you can. it's very rarely in stock and it's pretty good quality. a prime example of "never judge a book by it's cover". a poison apple coated in gold, ready to befall any who dare :)
