    Say whatever you like, blame whatever you want, but it actually does look like it’s an attempt to ride on the original brand’s popularity. It’s obviously easy to assume that the two are related.

      Yeah, this is exactly what Trademark was made for. Same market category, same size, same art style, same font on the Latin characters, and same location and box for the Kanji. At a glance, I would absolutely assume Tokyo Banana was branching out. For me personally, that would mean I’d avoid them, because Tokyo Banana is overpriced “meh,” but the berry one is obviously intended to cause confusion and poach sales.
