About the author
Akimi Yoshida
185 books250 followersAkimi Yoshida (Japanese: 吉田秋生, Yoshida Akimi) is a Japanese cartoonist from Tokyo, best known for her manga series Banana Fish.
Yoshida studied at the Musashino Art University in Tokyo and made her professional debut in 1977. Despite serialising her works in shōjo manga (girls' comics) magazines, most notably in 'Bessatsu Shōjo Comic' and 'Monthly Flowers', during the 80's she developed a visual style akin to the aesthetics of shōnen manga (boy's comics) of that era, contributing significantly to creating a bridge between these two traditions. This is particularly evident in her international best-seller Banana Fish (1985-1994), a thriller set in New York City blending action and homoerotic romance. Among her other major works are the series Yasha (1996-2002) and Umimachi Diary (2006-2018).
Yoshida's comics have received a number of accolades in Japan, including three Shogakukan Manga Awards (1983 and 2001 in the category 'shojo', 2015 in the general category), an Excellence Award for manga at the Japan Media Arts Festival (2007) and the 6th Manga Taishō award (2013).

Un début en huis clos avec une tension terrible. J'ai été happé par ma lecture pleine de peur et d'émotion. La mangaka sait y faire pour créer une ambiance pensante, ne sachant pas ce qu'il va avenir des personnages.
La deuxième partie change totalement d'ambiance pour nous sombrer dans le chaos le plus total. Sei part en vrille et devient bien plus menaçant qu'auparavant, motivé pour accomplir sa vengeance.
J'aime ce héros imparfait qui a une psychologie qui ne nous laisse pas deviner ce qu'il a forcément dans la tête. Le duel entre les jumeaux augmente en intensité, se doutant d'une confrontation explosive.
