Pulp #3

"Banana Fish - Chapter 4: Introductions" delivers a sharp, atmospheric entry in the series, with Rumiko Takahashi and Kei Kusunoki sharing art duties and inking, blending their distinct styles into a visually rich, moody narrative. The issue opens with a promotional spread for Rumic Theater, featuring tiny glimpses of upcoming stories like *One-Pound Gospel: Knuckle Sandwich* and *Ogre Slayer: Love's Bitter Fruit*, each drawn in the signature hands of Takahashi and Kusunoki. The cover by Naoki Yamamoto captures the series’ tense, noir-tinged tone with crisp, shadowed lines.
