Yasha, another work by Akimi Yoshida, will be released in my country (Germany) from the end of July onwards.

It’s a European publishing house, so I don’t know about a release in the US or other non-European countries, but please check if the translation is available in your country as well and support the author by buying it.

Like Banana Fish, summarizing the story in a few words is not easy but I tried:

Sei Arisue's mother is shot before his eyes when he’s 12 and the boy is kidnapped to America. Six years later, he manages to return to Japan to investigate a virus spreading. But when he meets his best friends again, they realize that his high IQ is far from the only thing unusual about him...

Sing appears in the story and compares the main character to Ash. And we learn what happened to Yut Lung.

See some similarities in the charscter’s design:

My friend sent me the original image so I had to draw it with Rin, Takeru and Sei.

An old sketch I did.
