I haven't read or watched banana fish bc my heart already can't handle it, but there's sth I'm curious about - in garden of light, does Eiji know Ash is dead? like, does he ever find out what happened to Ash?

Oh he knows (I never want to know his reaction when he first heard) and I’m pretty sure he’ll never fully be over it. He says this to Sing and Akira (Ibe’s niece) near the end of GoL and it makes me emotional every time I read it:

The way Eiji and Sing talk to Ash’s belongings and photos, as if he’s sitting right there in the room, his spirit will never die to them, but you can still see the grief in both of them. I ran out of space to post all the pictures, but you can read GoL here.

At Eiji’s second home in Cape Cod:

Sing talking to “Ash”

And the time Eiji sees someone who resembles Ash breaks my heart:

It’s not only GoL, but also the photo book that Eiji published called New York Sense where the whole thing is basically another love letter to Ash.

It took 6 years for him to dig up Ash’s pictures again, and then they’re overflowing in his photo book and gallery. We don’t know for certain, but I doubt Eiji ever married, and Ash will remain his first and only love.
