BANANA FISH[バナナフィッシュ]; a shoujo manga written by Akimi Yoshida in 1985, follows the rough life of a seventeen-year-old boy named Ash Lynx. Having gone through gang violence, trauma, and loss, Ash is one of the strongest main characters ever created! Nineteen mangas have been written for the series, and I plan to make them into a novel format! One tip while reading... make sure not to cry too loudly!

It's 1986, and Manhattan is bustling with crime and new romance. Okumura Eiji, a nineteen-year-old photography apprentice from Japan, goes with his mentor, Shunichi Ibe, to America in an attempt to cheer him up after he suffers an injury and is unable to pole vault anymore. Once the two of them come to New York City, they get tangled up in the research for a mysterious drug called Banana Fish, and Ash is stuck in the middle of it.

KEY THEMES:Friendship, angst, action, adventure, found family

⚠️DISCLAIMER/WARNINGS⚠️:Violence, drugs, child ab*se, some sexual themes

I will not go far into any of the child abuse details, but I will have to mention it if it is important to the plot.

I am not the creator of Banana Fish. I'm just a HUGE fan, and writing this helps my hyperfixation. Please support Akimi Yoshida by watching or reading real anime and manga.

If you're confused as to why I have extra blank chapters, that's because I deleted the past ones.

Oscar Treadway has never had as good a life as the wealthy have, and he yearned to be treated with respect and dignity. After losing his sister, not only did everything become more difficult, but he had become more of a target for the higher powers. He was soft, and could easily be formed into whatever was desired of him.

In this world, being desperate becomes a trait, and wanting becomes a necessity. If you wish to survive, you'll have to find a way.

Hello! It's Itterashai here. I should explain the premise of SOUL so that you know what you're getting into (without any spoilers, of course)~!

SOUL is about a young man named Oscar Treadway, who loses his younger sister to pneumonia. They had been living off very little money in a small town called Grudtsburg, somewhere in England. The year is not specified. He tries to find ways to feel closer to her, but nothing works until he meets a softspoken religious man at the bar who invites him for the night at his camp. Oscar feels he is equal for once and loves the amount of attention he is gifted. As time progresses, he slowly falls into their customs, becoming one of them.

DISCLAIMER: This story does have major mentions of cults, violence, and very disturbing topics. If this is not for you, than do not read it at all. I do not mean to offend ANY religion, and I simply won't tolerate complaints. Insulting religions is not the point of my story. Thank you. The chapters I post will be the FIRST draft, not the final one, so things will be different and a little rough.

Arthur Roscow's diary follows his junior and senior years of high school with his best friend, Ayden Holmon, who had been recently diagnosed with stage-four Glioblastoma (brain cancer) with only ten months to live. It's uncurable, and so is the temporary time they have together. Both boys go through their final journey together, one filled with love and the other being acceptance for the end. Though Ayden passed away, he had not to Arthur.

"I will love you in this life and the next. And even when the stars burn out and the skies fall silent, my heart will still beat for you, in whatever way it can." -Unknown

---------Why I wrote this;

At the age of twelve, my mother passed away from Glioblastoma, and it has affected me very deeply and made me feel more for others. I've always felt like people have needed to learn that death is not a bad thing. It's just the next part of the cycle of life. Everyone has a beginning and an end, and both are beautiful.

It’s 1783, and America celebrates the seceding from Britain once and for all. Three young boys believe the new freedom means to run away and start a new life, and forget about their problems and past and be themselves.

Jeremiah (14) and his older brother, Jonas (16), escape their abusive father and decide to bring along their best friend, Charles. All they want is to make their own world, their own rules, and their own path. That’s all they want.

Through this journey as you read Jeremiah’s journal, you learn about how you can be your own person and change things that may seem hard. Well it’s stressful living in the West, it’s easier with friends, and all these boys want to do is make the world a better place.

(I’ll update this tomorrow. I’m tired and this wasn’t made very well since it was late!)

It’s 2007, and Kumoniko Asashi, a seventeen-year-old boy, has gotten kicked out of Natsu High for beating up a bunch of other kids for calling him a “faggot”. Asashi had everything going for him before that, but now his grades were ruined and his father and mother wouldn’t talk to him because he was gay, but he really wasn’t. He just didn’t like girls, especially guys.

Once the boy moves to his new school, he becomes a quiet kid, who doesn’t speak that much. He was worried he’d be a burden and punch someone again. He just really couldn't control his anger.

He does meet another person. A sweet girl who had also moved to Ki Mokuzai, and the story sparks from there.

“I have searched far for someone to love, but now I know they’re right next to me.”

Over three thousand ago, the city of Nagare was struck with a large battle between a ferocious, bloodthirsty monster known as the Dorogan. She was a large dragon, who wouldn’t hesitate to take lives.

Now, just about twelve years ago, a boy named Miyahara Ryujin was born into the Nagare Clan, where he began training to meet the dragon and slay it once in for all.

Will Ryujin succeed, or will he fail and die?
