A prison frame-up and the Banana Fish mystery

Set in 1980s New York, this volume brings Ash Lynx’s conflict with Dino Golzine into a new phase: Dino arranges to have Ash blamed for a murder, putting him behind bars alongside journalist Max Lobo. Max is investigating Banana Fish, the secret linked to Ash’s older brother and Vietnam. The setup connects a personal struggle for escape with a widening mystery, while Eiji Okamura’s arrival adds another point of connection to Ash’s world. The publisher description identifies the series as manga and frames this installment around criminal power, a hidden code name, and the risks surrounding Ash’s attempt to break from Dino’s control.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Manga readers interested in crime-centered stories set in 1980s New York.
  • Readers drawn to mysteries involving a coded secret and an investigation.
  • Those following the conflict between Ash and Dino across the series.

But the hideous secret that drove Ash's older brother mad in Vietnam has suddenly fallen into Papa's insatiably ambitious hands--and it's exactly the wrong time for Eiji Okamura, a pure-hearted young photographer from Japan, to make Ash Lynx's 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 Fish's stripped-down, non-stop style.

When Dino arranges Ash's frame-up for the murder of a man he had motive to kill twenty times over, an "accident" behind bars is on the agenda. But in the same prison is Max Lobo, a journalist himself on the trail of the enigma code-named Banana Fish...
