Nature made Ash beautiful, upbringing made him a killer! VICE CITY: NEW YORK IN THE 80s... Nature made Ash Lynx beautiful, upbringing made him a cold and ruthless murderer. A fugitive raised as the adopted heir and sexual object of "Father" Dino Golzine, Ash, now in the rebellious age of seventeen, rejects the kingdom offered to him by the devil who raised him. But the gruesome secret that has driven Ash's older brother to madness in Vietnam has suddenly fallen into the immoral, ambitious hands of Father—and it’s just the wrong time for Eiji Okumura, a pure young photographer from Japan, to meet Ash Lynx... Epic in its core, and one of the best-selling shojo titles of all time in Japan, Akimi Yoshida gave a powerful jolt to the genre and gained a huge audience through Banana Fish with its streamlined, relentless style. The announcement of Ash's death in the news shocks and denies young Eiji. Ash's body is being prepared for autopsy, but Max Lobo is convinced that the body has been made to only look like Ash. Meanwhile, the real Ash Lynx is being transferred to a medical facility controlled by the Corsair Association and the corrupt Senator Kipard, where he will be a test rabbit for the terrifying Banana Fish. But neither Ash nor his friends are satisfied to let him rot there, and they begin their own independent escape plans!
