Never back a Lynx into a corner.

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.
