I believe the word your looking for is “furry”? Beastiality usually insinuates relations between human and A “normal” animal whereas furry’s are anthropomorphic. Meaning they May look like animals, but have some Or many human traits such as human intelligence, human genitalia, walking on two legs, and the ability to speak a human language etc. furries can be based off of any real animal Or even Based off of fictional animals such as dragons etc.

Okay

W H A T ? W H E R E OMG

Just google is ash lynx a bottom she says “he is and always will be a bottom”

Eh, m, mhm, h-hello i'm probably one of them haha. . .

Honestly tho, it's pure about preference. .

I mean yeah tho Eiji does give off the most bottom vibes soo I get it (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

Literally, the whole time I was reading I was thinking this. Ash was sexually abused so I think if he ever expressed his love through sex, I don’t think he’d want to be the bottom,, but idk

Oh,, I misread the thing

but we also shouldnt forget that ash is a bottom because he was dragged into child porn and pedo pervert people sees him as a bottom. tbh he can be a top if hes with eiji or maybe they switch o///o (i hate the fact he's a bottom bcs of the madafaker child porn)

Yeah that is true I think they would have a asexual relationship if ash survived since ash had gone through enough trauma I don’t think he would be able to have sex and eiji would understand that

" I find the author, Akimi Yoshida’s, interviews interesting, but I take them lightly because she contradicts herself. In one interview she states that Ash ‘Isn’t gay” and ‘would have ended up with a female Blanca’, if him and Eiji had went to Japan together they ‘would have eventually parted ways’. In a different interview she states that Ash is a ‘Power Bottom” and that Eiji is a ‘surprise top’. I don’t have the dates for these interviews, so I don’t know what came first, but that is quite a spectrum of interpretations for a couple of her own creation. BF was published over thirty years ago, and it makes sense her opinions would change, but actual content of the canon work doesn’t change."

it's from a post of trashayfanfication tumblr.

As decent as the plot was there are elements of Ash’s sexual abuse and trauma that read more as tragedy porn than properly researched. I remember this was heavy a complaint once upon a time for a minority of readers but the author as well as the more BL focused majority of readers have taken this aspect of the story to define Ash’s sexuality and sexual desires and it makes me very uncomfortable. Ash’s never got to experience even close platonic intimacy with another person before they were either killed or negatively impacted for being close to Ash. Sex would the farthest thing from his mind as a multiple rape victim given his personality let alone without years of therapy willingly want to bottom. though you could argue Eiji might be an exception after time as a sign of vulnerability and trust. Even then that might never happen. Given what Ash has gone through extensively in Banana Fish it’s one of the mangas I feel is worse off when a doujinshi is made to sexualize the characters, often ignoring or romanticizing the core trauma of the characters and how Ash’s and Eiji ‘s platonic love a lover that didn’t comet with strings or being used was a an oasis to Ash.

Yes I agree with you and I really don't like to read banana fish smuts since I feel like Ash and Eiji's bond is far from sexual stuff. I mean... If their situation was different then of course sex would be a normal thing for couple... But Ash needs something else from his most important person.
I just wanted to share what author's said.

yeah i remember coming across the interview in a discord group and it left a very bad taste in my mouth because it was clearly to appease more BL focused readers, not readers who read the plot and it just happens to be queer centered if that makes sense. It was gimmicky and queer baiting.

Well at least the story itself was fantastic enough to ignore these Stuff.

i agree, i just wish the author had done more research across the board, that includes some the more colorful representations of American urban life lol, as a nyc area local, i just find some of it glaringly wrong but but it doesn't detract the manga is relatively good and very forward thinking given when it was written and it's subject matter
