California Monotagari (California Story) 1982 Artwork PART 1

Nagged off my buddy Max on Twitter @/cutecats96 so everybody thank him for the scans lol

California Story is seen as the predecessor to Banana Fish following very similar themes, as well with taking place in New York City too, except set in the late 70s. I highly recommend you read it, I did right after I finished the BFish manga, its around 50-60ish chapters.

The story follows Heath Swanson who's run away from his home in San Diego and travels cross country to NYC to live with some friends. On the way, he meets another runaway kid named Eve, who's dream is to visit California. Eve grows an attachment to Heath and follows him along to New York and they begin on their time surviving NYC in the late 70s.

Also, this story is where Jenkins and Charlie first showed up fun fact, so it too takes place in the same world as banana fish.

They're both alive I have proof right here

A redraw of my old Banana Fish art from 2019(the left one)

i just found eiji's photo portfolio and...

all of the shots are so intimate and beautiful but ash looking at eiji so lovingly here- this illustration made me cry

this ash too, its so tender and domestic

eiji cut his hair after garden of light :,)

and his outfit here is one big reference to ash: white shirt and jeans, converse and he's also likely wearing ash's glasses

heres also the link for anybody who wants to see the full thing
