Re: Banana Fish

I know Viz is supposed to reprint the manga in the US, but I'm not sure if they've done it yet. I haven't seen it in any bookstores. I originally got all the manga volumes through my library, but it appears those copies were taken out of circulation and sold because I couldn't find them when I wanted to reread them (they were falling apart too). So you're right, the manga's still inaccessible and I don't get why older fans have such a hate boner for the newer fans. It reeks of gatekeeping.

I'm not in the fandom (yet) but out of curiosity I looked it up on Amazon and didn't see anything about a reprint. They did have some volumes of the original which I think are from third party sellers. And I saw a couple of people selling the whole (English) set on eBay at truly insane prices. But I'm curious now and might watch the anime, even though BL isn't usually my thing.

nayrt but it's not really BL (sort of). The genre is really just dark action drama, while also technically being a shoujo manga. The anime is on Amazon Prime and I'd guess by just one episode you'll probably be able to tell if it's your thing or not.

Dark action drama doesn't sound bad. I have Amazon Prime so I'll check out the first one. Thanks!

They tweeted about a reprint back in July, but yeah, I've yet to see it anywhere.

I don't think it's really gatekeeping so much as OP and the anon below just trying to brag in the nastiest way possible that they "liked it before it was cool". Because honestly, who gives a fuck what manga you read 30 years ago? The anime is coming out now, ergo, people are talking about it now.

^Pretty much this, yeah.
