  • Ohhhh, buddy. WELP. I was warned about this mysterious man in the OP, that he'd be trouble, and uhmmm...all I can say is: BLANCA. @_@
    This episode had so much going on, I can't wait to talk about it with you all.

    This episode sets up so many things, I'm excited haha. First of all, Sing my baby I feel so bad for him :'( He's just trying to help but he just gets treated like this. I understand Ash doesn't want everyone to know about banana fish/ wants to keep the circle of people who know to a minimum so it's easy to control. So I get that it's not a good idea to tell a whole other gang about it, especially the chinese since they have relations with Yut Lung and Ash doesn't trust him. But I feel like Sing gets treated like dirt :( None of the sides he's with takes him seriously, Yut Lung does his thing and doesn't tell him anything, and when he chooses to help Ash, the other team, he's not accepted either and is just carried around like an infant although he's more than capable and could be very helpful. aaa he's just trying his best to lead the gang he was left with after his true and only leader Shorter died and wants to gain independence, but everyone treats him like a fly on the wall, and I know he says the chinese espionage is A+ and hiding in places is easy for them, but man TT (sorry, I really feel attached to him XD)

    Second. Yut Lung is starting to go psycho haha. He wants to get rid of the whole Lee bloodline... but what does that mean since he's also part of it. He finally snapped and thinks he can boss people around because he knows about banana fish... but bossing Dino around is probably not the best thing. He's acting out of impulse and resentment and probably feels invincible, but I don't think he is completely aware of what he's getting into and who he's talking to. Also that scene where he kills his brother makes me wonder... How bad was their father? How evil could he have been for even Lee Wang Lung, who killed Yut Lung's mother, prostitutes his "little brother", has no remorse and doesn't seems like a particular "good guy", to call him a "monster" 🤔

    It also makes me kind of sad that Ash is so used to sexual abuse that he can just use that to get information like it’s the most casual thing. Like yeah, I’m going to prostitute myself to a man that abused me as a child, be back in a couple of hours... It’s sad how calm and normal it is to him. Knows exactly how it goes, where to go, what to do, what to say. No fear, no second thoughts, if it’s what he has to do to get what he needs, he’ll do it.

    And we get to see Blanca for the first time. Ash's mentor who seems to have known him very well since he was little. A man who can kill from an imposible distance and despite his huge size, remains unnoticed even by Ash. I'm excited for you to meet him better in the future haha

    and btw, thanks for the shoutout at the beginning

      It's hard for Sing -- he's 14, so it makes sense why it's hard for them to take him seriously -- yet, he's so mature and good-intentioned, and I feel he's just trying to do what Shorter would have done...ugh...I have grown attached to him, too. Which makes me worried -- my favorite characters usually don't fare well in this show. T_T
      Yut Lung...man...he's been finally given freedom, but what does he do with it? For Ash, freedom is different I feel than what Yut Lung interprets it as, and I think that's the biggest difference between them. I feel that he does think he has the upper hand since he has Banana Fish, but yeah, going against Golzine? I don't predict that going well...I feel like it's a very "Icarus" scenario. I also find it interesting that he keeps the brother that "loved him" (in a gross incestuous way) around, but demands the others are killed. Hmm.
      Yeah, the way Ash so casually uses sex is disturbing and the last few episodes have shown how it's just "something he has to do." And that's so sad.
      And ahmmmmmm.....yeah. Blanca. I didn't think we'd be getting such a huge player introduced to the show this late in the game, but here. we. are. @___@ What could go wrong?! **nervous laughter** and no problem! I loved that perspective!! Thanks for the kind words and comment!

  • @bishietuikku3588

    Maybe this has already been told on Patreon but Hua Lung isn't the the country presidental candidate. It's for their family bank, the first Lee brother was introduced as a banker. It's definitely confusing with the wording but if you read the text in the TV news it says "Lee Wan Lung head of China's Hua Yan Bank Dead Gruop Responsible Still Unidentified"
    The subtitles are weird actually through this whole ep like Ash saying "If he comes for me that's that" when it should be "that's then" (not a problem for now) and the subs completely cut out when Kippard (that filthy creep) was ranting at the end.

    • @RomaniaBlack
      @RomaniaBlack  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Ooooh, okay, that makes much more sense! I was so confused, haha!! The subtitles didn't bother me, but that makes a lot more sense knowing that the translation might have been a little off (and yes, Kippard, what a CREEP). Thank you so much for your comment and the information!! ^^

  • @Sonjay718
    @Sonjay718 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Oh Blanca. The most interesting person ever!
    I loved that scene with Sing, Ash, and Eiji. It was like two parents fighting over their child😁. I agree with Eiji, that mistreating Sing isn't the best move. I don't think Sing will turn against Ash because of a slap, but it's just better when things are peaceful.
    The scene with Kippard was so gross, and Ash said "you don't recognize me?" indicating that they have..."met" before 🤢😔
    Poor Eiji didn't want to mention what Yut-Lung said because Ash already said he didn't want to send Eiji away; he doesn't want Ash to think "hmmm, Yut-Lung is right". He doesn't realize how much his presence means to Ash.

    • @RomaniaBlack
      @RomaniaBlack  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yessss, Sing -- despite his age -- has proven he's a valuable ally to have, and he HAS helped out Eiji a lot; Ash, be nicer! Ahaha!!
      Oh my gosh, Yes, the whole implication with Kippard is disgusting -- definitely not sad to see him go! And yesss, the complicated nature with Eiji and Ash as long as Yut Lung is involved...and now this with Blanca....SO interesting. And soooo nerve-wracking! Thank you so much for the comment!

  • @miniglub
    @miniglub 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    "I need Ash and Eiji together !" Don't we all Romania ? 😂 And by "we", I mean: every soul-equiped person ? Gosh it was so good seeing them back together, that tip-toed hug™ 🥰made to confort himself (he's alive he's real he's here I can touch him) as much as to confort Ash (why getting on his toes if not to be taller and therefore be the one conforting and protecting the other?)
    Funny, I thought u looked a lot less stressed out than usual before the episode #stage3 #falseSenseOfSecurity. And then, last minute of it, dislocated jaw erratic breathing, silent scream, tachycardia, 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 That's banana fish, I guess, for every sweetheart moment, u get a heart attack moment. Lovely Asheiji reunion? Well here's fuckin' Blanca for you, bam!!! 🙈 Btw I don't think u got Blanca's lines in the end, during ur heart attack : he said something like "good response" cause Ash cut the light immediately to protect himself from another snipeshot, and then " he still remembers what I taught him". So they do have a past, a teacher-student past, at least, that would partially explain Ash's talent to fight and kill.
    Just thought about something with Dragon Moon, another difference between Ash and him : Ash wants freedom and revenge from Dino, Yut-Lung wants freedom and revenge from his brothers, and by that, the Lee's bloodline. But part of the object of his revenge goes through him : he's a son of Lee. Ash has the "possibility" to get rid of Dino completely (even though the abuse will stay and will have to be treated, obviously), but Yut-Lung can never get rid of the object of this hate, Lee's blood. His revenge will never really be achieved, and he'll always live with self-hatred toward this part of him. Unless he lets go. (easier said than done) And maybe that's a reason why he seems more bitter than Ash, why he's on the villainy side...
    Well, anyway. Blanca's here, this will be interesting !! See you next episode 😇

    • @RomaniaBlack
      @RomaniaBlack  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      UGH, that hug added years to my life, which I feel I will NEED because...BLANCA! Ahhhh....
      And you are right -- in my panic and terror, I missed the line about Ash "reacting as he expected" -- I'll talk about it next episode for sure! But yeah....WONDERFUL. An assassin with a past to Ash, ANOTHER character with a past to Ash....juuussssst what we needed. **ANXIETY INTENSIFIES**
      That's a great point about Yut Lung and Ash, too...their notions of "freedom" are seemingly more and more different the more we get to know Yut Lung, too. But Yes, Ash can get freedom, theoretically, by cutting ties with Golzine and the mafia. Yut Lung can get rid of all the Lee's, but he still can't escape his own bloodline. Verrrry interesting. Yes, I can't wait -- and simultaneously am fearful -- of what's to come! Thanks so much for the comment!

    So I’ve been watching your BANANA FISH reactions since yesterday and I love how you totally understand everything that is going on and how you make quick connections that even me who has watched it so many times didn’t think of at first. I tend to watch reactors that get confused and misunderstand scenes very easily and sometimes gets a little frustrating but with you I feel like I’m learning the smallest things and it’s really fun to watch these. I also appreciate that you read the side story of ash and shorter as well as looking into the titles of each episode. I’ll be watching your given reacting after this! We really need more reactors like you. 💕

I'm glad you're enjoying the reactions! :D It's nice to talk with y'all about anime and manga, especially when they're great series like this one! I hope you enjoy the rest of Banana Fish and GIVEN! YES! I love that series more and more since watching it!

    Finally Blanca is here. I've waited the whole time for this but this also made me realize that it's almost over.
    Blanca is such an interesting character. I'm sure you're gonna like him. My fav scene in this whole show is just a conversation between him and an other character.
    The scene with Yut-lung and his brother always gives me goosebumps. You can just feel how much he hates this family and to have the lee blood in him.
    I feel bad for Sing. He's trying to help but no one is taking him seriously. And it really has to be a big responsibility to be the boss of a gang,especially at such an young age. I think he's really trying to be a good boss and wants to do the things like Shorter would do.

    • @RomaniaBlack
      @RomaniaBlack  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I am in stark denial that this series is almost over! @_@ I can't believe we have a new character this late in the game -- and SUCH a threatening one as well!
      Ooooh...I'm so ready. SO ready for more of this character, as nervous as he makes me.
      And yeahhh, that moment when the guns go off and you see the light reflect on Yut Lung's face with his hair all over the place....chills. But his older brother is right -- you can get rid of the Lee family, but that doesn't change the fact that he still has his blood. @_@
      And yeah, poor Sing. He's 14, what can he do?! He is trying to emulate and live up to Shorter's name, and that I really respect him for...I just want him to be safe. Thanks for the comment!

    I can't wait to see more of your reactions of Blanca. In terms of a wild card, he's right up there with Yut Lung. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what he's trying to accomplish by coming out of retirement.
    I think it's too early to read the manga where Blanca meets Ash. What do you guys think? After ep 18 or 19?
    But for those who have seen the anime and not all the manga, here's a link to Private Opinion: imgur.com/a/vnAsQ4r It's easily the most graphic and uncomfortable of the lot.

I understand the mistrust, he is a 14 year old, and yut lung's ally --'' And knowing this info just- automatically gets Sing as a target, basically, and its worse if the whole gang knows.

      I took it as that if they found out that Shorter had been given the Banana Fish and that Ash had to shoot him to spare him, then they would be dragged into the Banana Fish problem and be in even more danger...that "ignorance is bliss" scenario. It's sort of why Dragon Moon didn't want Sing to know about it either.

You can read more about Blanca and Ash's first meetings in the side story 'Private Opinion'. It's my fav side story (alongside the epilogue) because we get to learn more about Ash's past during his 'training days'..Hope you can make reactions to all side stories after you have done with the series!

      It's the ED for the episode! In some of the episodes, they played the ED in the moment instead of end credits! Thanks for the comment!

      Thanks for the comment! Yeah, since it's a reaction and review, I'll be talking throughout it. :) I'm lucky my dog puts up with me. The episodes are on Amazon Prime if you want to watch them from there without my ramblings! :) I appreciate you taking the time to watch though!

    Banana Fish also finally Episode17!!
     Then, as usual, let's look back on the story with my "review, recollection, guessing comment"👍
    【Please be assured that there is no spoiler in this comment🤗】
    👇
    Ash finally returned to their city in the ending scene of Episode 16.
     Ash broke up with Max and Ibe and went looking for the missing Eiji.
    I was wondering if he would take a little more time to draw until the reunion with Eiji, but is this also related to the time limit unique to anime?
    Surprisingly, the scene of the reunion of Ash and Eiji came early.
    As a manga fan, I think it would be more dramatic and moving to spend a little more time on this scene, but Hmmm, I decided to put up with it😅
    Anyway! Ash has safely returned to Eiji's side.
     I'm really relieved and happy.
    Eiji and others, who judge that the report of Ash's death is "fake news", were consulting to rescue Ash, but in the meantime, Ash suddenly returned!😲
    Everyone who was there was surprised, but I am pleased with Ash's safe condition.
     Of course, Eiji is also relieved to see Ash's face.
    In front of Ash, who returned to the "hidden room" of Lynx, there were Eiji, Lynx members, and Sing.
    Sing wondered why Ash knew that Eiji was in this place, but Ash replied, "It was easy.".
    With Ash's brain and information network, finding one person is a very easy task.
    Ash, who met and talked with Cain, knew everything about Eiji's detention and his whereabouts. As expected, Ash!! 
    Action is quick and smart👍 Here, Sing says he understands why Ash had to kill Shorter...
    Angry at the words, Ash suddenly takes Thing to the rooftop.
    Sing's just wanted to tell Ash, "I understand why, so I'll stop resenting Ash," but Ash with a high IQ is always thinking about a few steps ahead of others.
    This is one of the abilities that Ash has acquired to live, but it is a "habit" and he cannot stop looking ahead😓
    Therefore, there is no joy in "understanding" from Thing, and rather, he fears that Thing and others who have known the "truth" of this case may be involved in danger, and he gets angry at Thing's remark and hits his cheek.
    Naturally, Sing, who does not notice such clumsy kindness of Ash, gets angry at being beaten and leaves the place.
    Eiji to blame the Ash that was violent to younger Sing's.
     Eiji scolded Ash for hitting the youngest Sing's cheek.
    Eiji looks sadly at Ash, saying "Why can you only say that?".
     The kindness of Ash is really clumsy.
    Recalling a recent incident, Eiji tells Ash, "It's very painful not to be told the truth."😥
     That's why you can understand Sing's feelings too...
    In this scene, it transmitted each of the feelings of Ash・Eiji・Sing, we can understand very well.
    Eiji and Ash also talk to each other honestly and reconcile.
    Immediately after that, I was delighted again with Ash's safety and was very impressed by the scene of the two hugging each other.
    Ash's sadly clumsy feelings of being unable to turn his arms obediently appear and disappear on Eiji's back, and I was sad to see it😥
    (=It seems that I am restraining myself from touching Eiji...😢)
    On the other hand, Yut Lung, who stands at the top of the Lee family on behalf of his big brother, asks Dino to help the clan collapse.
    The collapse of the Lee family, who controls the "back society" of China, is not a bad Conditions for Dino, the TOP of the Corsica Foundation.
    ➡ The collapse of the Lee family will lead to the collapse of senior military personnel and government officials who collude with the Lee family in the “back society” and interfere with Dino.
    Yut Lung wants to "destroy" the Lee family, and Dino wants to reign in the "back society."
     Both opinions and interests were in agreement.
    Even so, it was a scene where I gave my big brother a drag, negotiated with the mafia Dino, and got a glimpse of the depth of Yut Lung's hatred.
    Horrible boy....Yut Lung too...😨
    The scene changed, and the gentle exchange that appeared after a long time between Eiji and Ash warmed my heart💞
    I love watching Ash return to a normal 18 year old boy only in front of Eiji.
    After the anguish, Ash allows Eiji to stay by his side without returning to Japan.
    Embarrassedly, Ash asks Eiji if he wants him to say "I want you to be by my side" again. Ash's cheeks were red and he was very cute😆
    Eiji is also impressed by Ash's cute facial expressions and words!
    Even though he is so strong and reliable, he returns to his "younger brother" face in front of Eiji. Subsequent meal scene.
    Eiji didn't reveal the content of the conversation with Yut Lung to Ash.
    Yut Lung asserts will be the enemy of Ash, and Eiji seems to have an ominous premonition😰 
    (=In later scenes, Ash tells Eiji not to worry...😌)
    Born in the Lee family, who is familiar with poisons and drugs, Yut Lung continues to negotiate with Dino, showing Dino a "flower" that is the prototype of Banana Fish.
    He captured a lot of information produced by the history of 4000 years in China, knowledge of poisons and drugs produced by the history of the Lee family, and "Ash", and said that he would give all of them to Dino.
    That is why Yut Lung is negotiating with the meaning of intimidation, "Help the collapse of the Lee family instead!".
     Capture of Ash's??😲
    What on earth are you planning??🤔
     There are too many things we don't understand, which fuels our anxiety😖
    The heartwarming scenes of Ash and Eiji will continue.
     ※Is the dating scene of Ash and Eiji💕
    Ash and Eiji take a ferry and receive an explanation from Ash about the United States and New York.
    Ash's explanation was easy to understand for me, who is the same "Japanese" as Eiji.
     Thank you! Ash♪
    After that, Ash talks about his mother and Eiji gives a wonderful opinion on Ash's real name.
     I love this scene.
    I still remember being very impressed when I read it in manga.
    "Athrun" is an ancient Hebrew prayer word meaning "dawn," and the middle name "J" means "jade."
    That's right! It represents the color of Ash's eyes.
    I don't know the true meaning of Ash's mother's "naming", but I thought it would be very nice if it was in line with Eiji's opinion.
    At least for Ash, who had been abandoned by his mother and had a lonely childhood, Eiji's opinion of this real name would have healed and warmed his heart.
    It was a scene where Eiji's heart was really kind, clear and wonderful.
    An ominous shadow creeps behind the two who spend such a calm time...😧 It looks like someone is watching🧐
    Ashe senses the danger and says he will stop going to "Long Island" and turn back.
     Ash's ability to detect danger is excellent!
    It seems that Max and others who are hiding Dr. Dawson at the villa on Long Island are also planning a strategy.
    Ash and Eiji came to the usual library with a sense of tension.
    While investigating "Banana Fish," Ash spends his time joking with Eiji and eating hot dogs, but Ash is still nervous as he continues to feel the gaze of someone.
    And finally!!, Yut Lung gained Dino's power and killed eldest son.
     This scene was really shocking😱
    And it seems that high-ranking government officials who are in the way of Dino are also trying to take action by planning something.
    Ominous air continues to flow.
     
    Ash is also listening to the news of the Lee family in the bar and seems to be thinking about various things.
    Ash compiled a report on "Banana Fish" and handed it to Max and lawyer:George, but the content was written that even experts would have a hard time compiling it, and Max and others again was also surprised at the high IQ of Ash.
    Upon exiting from the bar, Ash feels someone's gaze again and chases , but can't find the body of gaze.
    Ash, who is very nervous, forgets his promise and preaches to Eiji, who had promised to meet him😓
    However! Identity of the "mystery person" is now clear that immediately after.
    That's right! As you've noticed, he's the man in the OP, and his name is "Blanca".
    He is a "bodyguard" who was once hired by Dino, and he seems to know Ash who was with Dino...🤔
    Dino, who knows his abilities, seems to have asked him to participate in this joint operation with Yut Lung.
    At first, Blanca was willing to decline, but when saw the Ash on the ferry, he felt something...? And eventually decided to accept Dino's "request."
    Hmmm, what the hell is he thinking??🤔
     And whether his "ability" is a thing of how much?
    Ash, meanwhile, takes the dangerous action of using his body again to seduce high-ranking government officials to uncover the wrongdoing of the country.
    In this way, the act of Ash treating himself like a tool always hurts my heart😭
    Ash threatens Senator Kipperd with a gun and tries to draw "testimony" about Banana Fish.
    To him who does not testify, Ash shows a picture of him sexually assaulting a child in the past and threatens him further.
    The moment he was about to talk about something, he was shot dead from outside the hotel window!?😱
    A bullet from the roof of a building far away.
    Ash senses the crisis and immediately destroys the lights in the room, lowering his upper body and hiding.
    That's right! It was that "Blanca" that shot! The title "The Killers" this time was about Blanca.
    Not only did Ash not get a solid testimony from Kipperd, but lost a valuable witness.
    And what happens to Ash, who is nervous in the face of that overwhelming professional shooting skill!?
    Episode 18 will also show tremendous development, so please look forward to it👍
     
    See you in the next comment~👋 Thank you for reading this far.

      ※Below is the voice actor mini information♪♪
      👇
      The key man "Blanca" that first appeared this time.
       He is one of my favorite characters😘
      The voice actor in charge of his voice is the veteran voice actor "Toshiyuki Morikawa".
      Since he has appeared in many animations, I will omit the introduction, but if you introduce it in the animation you know, he is in charge of the "head" on the demon hunting side of "Kimetsu no Yaiba".
      He is also a dubbed voice actor exclusively for Hollywood actor Tom Cruise.
      And in the anime "Slam Dunk", I was in charge of Yōhei Mito.
      In "Mo Dao Zu Shi", he is also in charge of the role of Wangji's big brother.
      ◎ From here on, the information has nothing to do with Banana Fish, but I would like to introduce a little about the voice actor "Yuuma Uchida" who plays Ash and the voice actor "Kaito Ishikawa" who plays Haikyuu's Kageyama.
      The two are "best friends" who have deepened their friendship since they were teenagers, at the same time as their debut as voice actors.
      We rent separate rooms in the same building, so we have a strong bond as a close friend.
      This time, I found a video of them with English subtitles for "Free Talk" on the radio, so I will attach it.
      It's a very short conversation, but please watch it if you like.
      In the video of ①, "Image of Given's Uenoyama" is shown on Mr. Uchida's side, and "Image of Haikyuu's Kageyama" is shown on Mr. Ishikawa's side so that you can judge which conversation it is.
      Please judge which one is speaking in this image👐
      "Nee-san" that the two of them are talking about in the video of ② refers to Mr. Uchida's real big sister and voice actor "Maaya Uchida".
      She is also a very popular voice actor and she is singing at the end of her video.
      She is in charge of Norman in "The Promised Neverland".
      The video of ③ is a bonus video based on my personal choice🤗
      My favorite voice actor "Takahiro Sakurai" that I introduced in the comment of "Jujutsu Kaisen".
      This is a video in which he and Mr. Uchida are appearing to promote another anime.
      The two played the leading role in the anime that was broadcast in the winter of 2020 called "The Case Files of Jeweler Richard".
      ※This anime is also recommended, so if you are interested, please watch it someday.
      A panel of characters is displayed behind the voice actors, but those two are the main characters.
      Jewelery mystery anime.
       It is also a story that the two characters on the panel deepen the bond💕
      Richard, played by Mr. Sakurai, is as beautiful as Ash😍
       (=As you can see by looking at the character panel.)
      As for Mr. Sakurai, as he commented the other day, he plays the role of Getou in "Jujutsu Kaisen" and the role of Tomioka in "Kimetsu no Yaiba"👍
      Coincidentally, Mr. Uchida says in the video, "I like bananas very much."🤣 ➡Banana Fish!!?😂
      You can see each video from the following HP address.

      @@KA_7788 Oh how cool! I will look at these videos later tonight when I am home from work! ^^ Thank you for sending those! I LOVE that the voice actor for Blanca is also Mito from Slam Dunk and the "Head" on Demon Slayer -- I can totally see the latter with having watched that show -- I'm hoping, when I finally watch some of the Slam Dunk anime, that I get to hear him in that role! And Wangji's older brother?! That is an interesting voice actor choice! @.@
      And I LOVE that Ash and Kageyama's Voice Actor are such good friends! It makes sense -- I mean, their characters would be friends, too, right?! ^^ And ahh, the voice actor for Ash, Mr. Uchida -- his skills in this role are SO good! I just can't rave enough about him...I'm really excited to talk more about him in future episodes. Thank you so much for the information and I'll have to watch those videos later today! :D

      This episode had SO much going on in it! I really thought there was a lot of content discussed, so I'm curious -- when I finally read the manga -- what will be left out from the anime that didn't have time to expand upon. Poor Ash, being able to be himself (an 18-year-old at that!?) around only Eiji is sad, but also so sweet. I loved the hug they were FINALLY able to share! It's only taken us 17 episodes to get to this point, haha!
      Yut Lung is such a wildcard character, and so unpredictable! He scares me because I can't fully predict what he's thinking or what his goals are -- the moves he's making are seeming more desperate. I'm wondering what he will do when trapped in a corner, and I'm honestly scared to find out! @_@
      And Blanca...wow, his introduction was just insane. I felt bad that Ash had to prostitute himself to reach Kippard, and I'm not sad Kippard is out of the picture now, but man...Ash's face when Kippard was shot was telling -- it put Ash outside his comfort zone, and that is scary! I'm definitely looking forward to and am anxious about episode 18 -- we shall see! :D :D Thank so much for the comment!!

      Thank you very much for always reading the long comments from me🤗
      And, I'm sorry for always clumsy English🙇💦
      And, thank you for always politely replying💞
      I'm always looking forward to reading the reply.
      Someday, read the original manga and compare the omitted scenes and words with the anime👍
      Yes! Ash can be a "normal 18 year old boy" only in front of Eiji...
      As you say, it feels very sad, but on the contrary, it also feels very sweet💕
      The hug scene between Ash and Eiji was also a very nice and sweet scene.
      It took only 17 Episode to get the two feelings closer like this, but in reality, about a year has already passed in that world, and Ash, who was 17 years old, is celebrating his birthday.
      He already 18 years old (8/12 is Ash's birthday)🎉
      The two have spent a very rich year. Hahaha😍
      And there are still mysteries about Yut Lung's "true intentions" and future "plans," and we can't hide our anxieties😖
      Let's see what happens✋
      And...Blanca!!
      Yes, there were too many "mysteries" with him, which gave us a lot of anxiety💦
      However, he is a very attractive character, so please look forward to it to👐
      Well, Ash's "prostitution scene" was really sad.
      But! I was relieved that it was an "Ends with attempted".
      I also, for the death of Kipperd, there is no sadness!!😏
      Because he was killed and did nothing but unavoidable things.
      However, I am regret that Ash has lost a valuable "witness".
      Ash's horror and tense look when Kipperd was shot!!😱
      It was really shocking.
      As you say, I'm looking forward to Episode 18, but I'm very worried.
      See you in the comments of Episode 18~👋
