VICE CITY: NEW YORK IN THE 80s...
A runaway brought up as the adopted heir and sex toy of crime lord "Papa" Dino Golzine, Ash has forsaken the kingdom held out by the devil who raised him for his own small but loyal gang of street thugs. But his "Papa" can't simply let him go-not when the hideous secret that drove Ash's older brother mad in Vietnam has suddenly fallen into his insatiably ambitious hands.
The epic battle between Ash and Arthur reaches its gruesome conclusion. Ash is left hospitalized, but not out of reach from the sinister hands of Papa Dino. Unbeknownst to the others, Dino has arranged Ash's transfer to a medical facility with a very special purpose in mind. Yut-Lung has finally begun to unveil his plans, but mystery still surrounds him.
Epic in scope, and one of the best-selling shôjo 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.
