#Shion no.6 toi8 series

If that intrigues you, I suggest you check Banana Fish out, you won't regret it! read moreĮpisode 7 of both series convinced me to make a recommendation. Ash provides Eiji with a reality check while Eiji tries to show Ash a more wholesome view on life. To conclude, Ash and Eiji are 2 parts of one whole. Even so, Eiji and Shion can read their emotions with ease. Now, Ash and Nezumi have a pessimistic view on life and put on a facade to mask their vulnerable state. Though their experiences differ, Nezumi and Ash were forced to fend for themselves at an early age. On the other hand, Ash, the other lead character in Banana Fish, and Nezumi both have a traumatic backstory. However, they later learn how unfair the world can treat good people and want to do everything in their power to stop their partner from experiencing any further danger. Because of this, Eiji and Shion are a bit naive about the danger surrounding them. They were both fortunate enough to grow up in a safe environment. Like Shion, Eiji, one of the main characters in Banana Fish, has a very optimistic perception of life. If you're captivated by Nezumi and Shion's contrasting personalities, I recommend that you watch Banana Fish. Granted they are also young, and each has their own background and baggage and priorities to sort through, therefore it's not like its a 'happily ever after' Disney endingīut for what it's worth, they are thankful and grateful for the time they had with their SOīanana Fish may be a level above No.6 in terms of how hard it is to watchĭoesn't make No.6 a vanilla show, but at least you know where it stands in terms of heartbreaking the viewer To the point where I find myself finding it difficult to call them 'lovers' or 'boyfriends' cause these two term don't come close, and instead seem to cheapen the value they hold for each other, Cause FIGHT ME over this if you want! but I don't think there was ever a couple/partners more in love with each other than in those two shows! 'vibe' ?īoth have realistic gloomy worlds that you end up being grateful that you aren't living in one or the like, and praying for the well being of those stuck in such toxic environmentsīoth have relationships between the protagonists that makes you jealous and looking for your own 'soulmate' irl. No.6 can be found and streamed on Amazon Prime Video.Definitely No.6 and Banana Fish fall under the same. Showing a strong and unique relationship between two male characters, No.6 is still, at the end of the day, just a brilliant story of perseverance and freedom. For this reason, this manga often wrongly falls under the wrong label by fans.

Instead, the author intends for No.6 to be known as a sci-fi post-apocalyptic universe, much like The Last of Us. On a more negative note, Asano has specified to not wish to call this story a BL (Boys’ Love). As per Nezumi’s words in the novel, their feelings will never falter, regardless of whether he names them or not. Despite their physical declarations of tenderness, no explicit word regarding their relationship was ever uttered, as they remained friends with a clear romantic subtext. Their soul-bond connection leads them to each other, solidifying their growing affection with two kisses throughout the story. Nezumi and Shion are nothing but teenagers in a complicated universe that attempted to pit the two contrasting social scales against one another, but neither boy seems to pay any mind to the societal structure of No.6.
