Banana Fish, Vol. 3 (3)

Nature made Ash beautiful; Nurture made him a killer!VICE CITY: NEW YORK IN THE 80s...Nature made Ash Lynx beautiful; nurture made him a cold ruthless killer. A runaway brought up as the adopted heir and sex toy of Papa Dino Golzine, Ash, now at the rebellious age of seventeen, forsakes the kingdom held out by the devil who raised him. But the hideous secret that drove Ashs older brother mad in Vietnam has suddenly fallen into Papas insatiably ambitious hands--and its exactly the wrong time for Eiji Okamura, a pure-hearted young photographer from Japan, to make Ash Lynxs acquaintance... Epic in scope, and one of the best-selling shojo titles of all time in Japan, Akimi Yoshida put an electric shock into the genre and gained a huge crossover audience through Banana Fishs stripped-down, non-stop style.The idea that Ash Lynx would be more controllable in jail has worked out for nobody, because in between gang rape and random assaults, Ash has not only managed to get Eiji to carry out info to his allies in Chinatown, but hes met cellmate Max Lobo, another survivor of his brothers unit in Vietnam. That means as soon as Ash makes bail, hes only headed for bigger trouble. But whats more dangerous for him, confronting Papa Dino or his real father...?
