Nature made As Link beautiful, upbringing made him a cold and ruthless killer. In Weiss City, New York, in the '80s... As, a boy who ran away from home, grows up as the adopted heir and sexual partner of "Father" Dino Golzin, and now in the rebellious age of seventeen, he is leaving the kingdom that the devil who raised him offers. But the horrifying secret that drove As's older brother to madness in Vietnam has been revealed at the hands of Father with an indescribably ambitious disposition. At this moment, Eiji Okamura, a purebred young photographer from Japan, comes into contact with As Link.

The epic battle between As and Arthur reaches its horrific conclusion. As is left in a hospital, but he is not far from the dark hands of Father Dino. Unbeknownst to As's team, Dino has arranged for As's transfer to a medical facility with a very specific purpose in mind. Yut-Lung has finally begun to reveal his plans, but the secrecy surrounding him remains.

Epic in scope, and one of the best-selling shojo titles of all time in Japan, Akimi Yoshida has given an electric boost to the genre and gained immense cross-border appeal through Banana Fish and its ongoing, stripped-down style.
