More Banana Fish yapping
Now that I thinking about it, Black Lagoon is like Banana Fish but with slightly less trauma and without many scenes that make you die inside.
Also like both shows are about a Japanese men (Eiji and Rock) who lived a chill life and then randomly gets to experience the life of crime.
The other protagonist is someone used to this life, is a great fighter and has unresolved trauma (Ash and Revy).
And they end up developing fondness to one another
Pros about BL: I would say Black Lagoon has many more funnier moments and slightly less traumatic events. Also, the cast contains mostly female characters who add the most to the plot, are great fighters and have great dynamics between each other. It has a more gritty aesthetic, very 90's-early 00's vibe.
Pros about BF: it has more emotionally charged themes and it makes you feel a dozens of emotions per episode. The violence is less I would say but it's also more impactful because you get really attached to the characters (Ash, Eiji, Short, Yut-Lung, Sing etc). It also feels more artsy and deep.
Bonus:
They would definitely try to fight each other and then hookup.
Also, they give the same amount of diva and they would be besties (Yut-lung would teach Shenhua about poisoning and Shenhua would teach him about fighting with blades).
Sorry for the long ramble, but if you like Banana Fish, I think you should try Black Lagoon and vice versa.

I'm turning these guys into furries and no one can stop me!
(Anyway, Balalaika is a tundra wolf, Eda is a royal penguin, and Revy is a honey badger. Feel free to leave suggestions for other characters)

A little in love with the Black Lagoon fan theory that Revy loved Rock for his innocence, the way he was absolutely street stupid and freaked out at the mere idea of doing something illegal or violent. The fact that she was his exact opposite in that manner and therefore had to protect him from everything. That she loved him a little less and less every time he proved that he was in fact capable of doing such things as Roanapur sunk into him. By the end of the anime series, she had begun to realize that he was no different from her and she no longer knew how to love him.

Black Lagoon Ch 72
The way she deconstructs Revy's worldview more than once.
Revy's shocked face and instant defensiveness.
They're such a good contrast combo
