I had hoped EP8 would reinvigorate my interest but unfortunately it hasn't. I'm still so bored by it at :( Kinda sad, I really started out liking this series a lot but it feels like nothing is happening apart from the extremely boring lovestories. I wish the characters were given more depth. The sex scene was way too fluffy. And by god what is with the absolutely awful lighting??! Can someone tell the cinematographer they don't have to put the light and contrast on max??

Sing and Drake are the BL couple. They are surprisingly good together too.

It seems that for a Channel 3 show, the ratings for MoTB are very low though

No the love story in the trailer is the siblings, not the main characters, they are all childhood friends

It's definitely not, Phuwin was just talking about his exams

Where?

Rude? He's abusive and taking revenge, that's kind of the whole idea behind the plot, no?
Personally I hope they don't add romance - isn't this show about revenge, redemption, guilt, broken friendships?

thanks for admitting I'm right, darling <3

Sad is that you actually think the police wouldn't have hurt the gang after Dan so graciously delivered them into Tawi's hands. How naive are you people?
Dan decided to stay in a corrupt system and instead of leaving that system and fighting with the gang for real, he's than surprised the corrupt system turned on him? Wow, shocker.
Dan had a choice - he chose what was easiest for him and hardest for everyone else. They most likely wouldn't have survived that arrest.

He absolutely had a choice, what in the nonsense. They were threatening his parents but on the other hand, what makes people think the police under Tawi wouldn't hurt the gang after they arrest them? It's corrupt system and Dan played right into their hands.

BL is a genre, it has very clear definitions. That's like saying "this movie isn't horror to me", who cares, it's a horror movie.
Akimi Yoshida herself - she confirmed he later got married and had a daughter.
Here's a summary of the interview: https://codenamed-bananafish.tumblr.com/post/662619678267637760/hi-there-i-want-to-ask-you-if-yoshida-ever-said

And here, a friend of mine wrote that, would do some fans good to read as well:

Love, I've been a BF fan since the 90s. Akimi Yoshida herself confirmed he gets married later on.

"Majima: There are many hypotheses huh (laughs) also, what kind of life has Eiji been living since “The Garden of Light”? Has he become a permanent resident in the US? Does he have a partner?

Yoshida: Wouldn’t he have a normal life? Something like properly getting married, having children, and continuing to live as a photographer."

Not by the mangaka it's not

I find this so adorable. Like the pacing is horrible (once again), the fourth episode is literally a head-over-heels rush to get the relationship started but I still find myself liking it? It's bittersweet, soft, the acting is pretty good and I like all the characters.

I hope she's finally dead.

What does that even mean. Who cares what it means to you, it's not a BL. Period. Eiji literally gets married to a woman later on idk why this is a discussion.

No, I agree. It's dragging way too much. And the sister is super annoying, she literally adds nothing.

Dude. Banana Fish is not BL. Like at all.

The tags on here are just picked up some admins, they don't really mean anything official though. The manga is strictly bromance, so I'm guessing the show will only hint at stuff at the very most.

I get we need these sentimental moments but ... I really don't like the sister and the more time passes, the more I'm dreading scenes with her because she literally adds nothing to the show at this point and the scenes with her drag so much :/
