Gay? Well it was stated straightforward in the anime how the Main characters see each other as &quot;friends&quot;. Being there for each other, loving each other and protecting each other without asking for anything in return is not the &quot;gay love&quot; you people talk about. And he'll no, it's not a joke. <spoiler>when someone is raped, especially a guy, then it is a gay thingy, but that is not the focus of the anime of course.....</spoiler> so let me say it: those who won't watch Banana Fish has already lost half of their lifespan.

Notlgor. It is not gay at all. The main character had been exploited and had a nasty past, so what you call &quot;gay&quot; is probably his painful past... but you won't know until you watch it... belive me please. And also, you can use myanimelist website and look at the precious reviews... then you'll understand more.....

Seriously..... that scene when Ash prays that God takes his life instead of Eiji's... it made me cry alot... and this episode with the name &quot;The Catcher in the Rye&quot; 😆😆😆😆

I'd remove myself. Erase everything! Sometimes I wish if I were a character in Ana anime... TT
