   Summary

   Okumura Eiji is a 19 year old gang leader within the Yakuza, or the Japanese Mafia in Akuikawa. When his parents were killed, he, along with his sister were taken in by Kyouriki Takeshi, the current head of operations in Akuikawa, and raised with his guidance.

   Aslan Callenreese is a 17 year old high school boy. He becomes depressed after learning of his older brother's passing in the mental facility he was kept in after serving in the military, and is taken on a trip to Japan with his late older brother's best friend, Max Lobo, a newspaper columnist following a potential lead on Banana Fish in Japan, who believes that a change of scenery will help Aslan.

   TLDR: Banana Fish but rewritten so that Eiji is actually the heavily traumatized gang leader with trust issues and Ash is the sweet optimist who loves him unconditionally.
