Nana of Banana 1

01:
[Long, long ago there were repeated wars on this continent.]
[The continent was in turmoil and the people spent their days in fear.]
note to proofer: please fix up the lots of dodgy wording throughout in this sentence. and the rest of the chapter actually

Then one man appeared and put an end to it.

[He reached the end of his journey, "Oz", where god was said to live and where any wish could be granted.
note to proofer: literally it sounds more like orz but then that would be too lulz
[He gained great power and ended the conflict on this continent...]

Eeeh!? Is that really, really true, dad?
Yeah. It's really, really true.
So it'll grant any wish? That's amazing.

Then when I grow up I'm gonna go there.
If you go, Ringo, I'll go too!!

down the side: An important promise from our childhood. That was where everything started...!!


02-03:
Let's promise!! When we grow up we'll go on an adventure together!!
Yeah! I promise, Nana-chan!!
[This promise from long ago would later become well knwon around the continent as the story of "Nana of Banana"]

A manga packed with battles, friendship and yuri!!
tl note: do you really need me to tell you what yuri is? :3
[A tale of Ouba Nana and her companions' journey and friendship...
Nana of Banana
Oniyazu Kakashi

Banana fans shocked?
The manga world's biggest banana mangaka(?) has finally arrived to your plate!

Her body is small,
but her dreams are infinite!!
note to proofer: yeah dodgy wording agian
Chapter 1 The you now and the you back then


04:
So let's go practice~~ Let's journey to the river!
Eh.. Again!? Didn't we just journey to the mountain a moment ago?

But the adventure is calling to me!
You really like adventures, don't you Ringo.

Yeah!! I love adventures!!

Daah!!
Save me, Nana-chan!!
Uwaaaa Ringoooooooooooo!!
note to ts: i really like how the text is colour coded so i can actually tell who's talking =D

I'll save you nooooowww!! Abababababa
note to proofer: ababababa = drowning now
Wa! Nana-chan!
[And time went by....]


05:
[10 years later]
[The only continent in the world "Dokkanon"]

[In the eastern village of Perie]

[The legend starts in this house, just a little bit away from the village.]
sign: Nana's house


06:
Come on Ringo! Let's go on an adventure!!

No.

She said no!! Why Ringo~~~~~!?
Didn't I tell you already? I don't want to go on any adventures!!

Didn't you promise that we would go on an adventure togetheeeeerrr?
Stop it!! My skirt will come off!!

That was when we were kids!!


07:
We're both 16 now.

Our "abilities" have already awakened so we have to work for the village!

Got it?
No!!

Are you telling me to grow bananas for the rest of my life!?
But don't you like bananas?

I love them~~~~~~~~
Then everything's good right?

But I love Ringo more!
Stop it!! My skirt will come off!!


08:
Hey... are you really not gonna go on an adventure?

I really won't!!
I don't want to go on an adventure at all!

Adventures...

Ringo...?

Well I've got work now so...
Aah... Wait Ringo!!

I couldn't convince her again...
Does Ringo really not want to go on an adventure...

This is...
on book: banana diary


09:
tl note:pantsu and stockings :3
All I have to do is deliver a letter to the village of Contrex
and then I'll be done with work for today.

I feel the most at ease when I'm at work...
I don't have to think about anything unnecessary...

Let's go on an adventure!!
Ringo!!


10:
.......

Things are different from back then...
Nana...

sfx: yay yay!

Eh... Only this much...!?

sfx: smile smile
Yes. What about it?
You told me the job would be 10000 kane but this isn't even half of that...
tl note: kane is obviously the money. okane is japanese for money

If you don't like it why don't you stop then?//There are lots of replacements for an ability user of your level.

No... This is fine...

Oh? If it isn't Aomori Ringo-san?


11:
I see you're working hard again today.

As your village chief, I, Misukami Haruko,
am extremely pleased.

Even though I may not look it I'm veeeeeeeeery worried about you, you know?

Using your ability, "Antelope", which boosts your leg power//and delivering letters from village to village...
tl note: the kanji says "Antelope legs"

If something happened to you while you were out at work...


12:
What would happen if you can't go on an adventure anymore...
!!

I wasn't thinking of...

That's right... That day you said you would go on an adventure...
What happened that day...?

Ringo-san knows it's the best, right?

An adventure? Are you stupid?
The legendary land, Oz? There's no way that exists!!


13:
It does exist!! Because that's what papa told me.//One day I'll go with Nana-chan..

Liar!! Your dad's a liar!!

Liar!! You're a liar too!!
I'm not a liar~~~

Ringo-san's dad went on an adventure and never came back...
Well we all know that adventurers are irresponsible.

It's because you're always saying irresponsible things like you'll go on an adventure that you're so dumb, Ringo!!

on the table: Ringo-san went on an adventure and died

Was there someone called Ringo?
If she finds out you'll get in trouble.
note to proofer: not sure about this line
Actually I wish she would just leave the village already.

Everyone... Please stop this...
I... won't say it again so...

I won't say I'll go on an adventure anymore so...

An adventure....

........


14:
People live their life based on
the "ability" that they are born with.

There are wonderful abilities like mine
and absolutely useless abilities like yours.

Useless people who can't fit into society, leave their villages and live like thugs.
note to proofer: hooligans is what the dictionary says
That's what adventurers are.

You're diligent so that'll never happen to you.
You're different from your dad who went out on an adventure and disappeared!

Yes...


15:
If that's all then...
Ah that's right Ringo-san,

I've heard that Ouba Nana-san keeps trying to convince you to go on an adventure...
While you were out at work

it seems that a mysterious flood washed up at her house.
Eh!/

That's right... A mysterious flood...

...!!

Nana...!!

I'll leave the rest to you.
Haha!!


16:
Nana...

Please be safe...

Uaaaaah. What's this!!?

My beautiful hoousseeee!!
Even my soulful banana fieeelllllddddd!!

Ringo!! You're right on time. Look!!
I just went out for a little bit and when I came back my house and fields were mysteriously flooded.

Mizukami Haruko...
tl ntoe: mizukami sounds like water god

But Ringo

But I can change any situation into a plus!!
I didn't lose anything... I got...


17:
on mizugi: 7th grade 7th class Ouba
tl note: lulz there is no such thing as a 7th grade in japan
a house with a pool like I wanted!!

How do you like this western style swimsuit called "school" from the western country of "Otaota".//The day where I can

wear this has finally ocme.
tl note: obviously a pun on otaku land

I'm so happy!! Come swim too Ringo!!
This won't do...

Don't screw around!
What "mysterious flood"? You know who did this don't you?
Even though she did this to you how can you still be fine!?


18:
You're always acting silly like that!!
Because you act like that...

everyone thinks I'm like that too!

Even though.. Even though I always try my best...

you keep inviting me to go on adventures. That's why things like this happen!

I hate adventures and I hate you!!!

That's true... I guess I've been a bit insensitive...


19:
You dropped this this morning.

I understand your feelings Ringo.
on the book: Ringo Papa's adventure diary.
........

I'm going to leave the village tonight.
Eh!?

I won't ask you to come with me any more.
You can decide if you want to come or not yourself.

Our special place... Mt Mirai's Choisaki Ridge...
I'll wait for you there until midnight.

I'll let you think until then... about what you really want to do....
.......


20:
What I want to do...

Is that so? Those two...
Haha- They said midnight at Mt Mira's Choisaki Ridge.

How shameful it would be for adventurers to come from our village.
note to proofer: as in the village churned out adventurers
How the other villages would laugh at us...

That would be a real problem.
Yes!! A real problem!!


21:
Haah, even though I've already done this much to them...
note to proofer: haah = sigh. and i'm not too sure about this sentence either

You've got some guts, Aomori Ringo-san.
I guess you need a bit of training... fufufuufufufufu

sfx: whoo whoo or whatever noise an owl makes

.............

sfx: glance

sfx: tick tick

It's nearly the promised time...


22:
It's got nothing to do with me...!!

That's right. There's no way I would go on an adventure.

With this I can finally cut ties with Nana and...
Ringo~~~
I love you~~~

Ringo~~~~
and...

I-it's not like I'm going on an adventure!?
W-well I should at least say my goodbyes...

Who am I saying this to!?

My my. You're going out this late at night, Ringo-san?
!!


23:
You do know it's dangerous to go out by yourself at night?
Mizukami-sama!!

W-why are you here...
Some news reached my ears.

Something about Ringo-san going on a journey with the banana girl tonight?

That's... I'm...

That's right. You wouldn't do something like go on and adventure.//This is because of that banana girl so...
sfx: paaa. i think its like releasing braeth. like a sigh?

24:
I sent my subordinates to her
so they can give her looots of punishment...

That's...
They're not too good at holding back so

so they're probably doing "this and that" to her right now.
sfx: nnnn ahhhh not there...... basically its like what you see in eromangos lulz

Nana...

Woops.
note to proofer: it's not actually woops but I'm sure you can figure out from the context something similar

Please be good for a little while, Ringo-san.
!!

Uah... Aahhh...


25:
Now.. search Ringo-san's house. See if she has anything adventure related.
Yes.

S-stop this please... In my house there's...!!
Mizukami-sama!!!

We found something.
Fufufu could it be a dirty book?
note to proofer: dirty as in pr0nz

"Ringo Papa's adventure diary"...?
I guess it's a keepsake of your father.

Aau!!


26:
Please
destroy this book right now.

Show me that you really don't care about adventuring at all.

Then I'll kindly accpt you as a proper member of our village.

If I destroy this then the village will accept me...

If I destroy this...


27:
Then I'll give this to the two of you.

What is it?
It's my journal of my adventure to Oz. It's still incomplete though...

I would be glad if both of you finished it for me one day!!

Wow! Amazing!! There's heaps of stuff written inside!!
Let me see too, Nana-chan!

If you two go on an adventure when you grow up
you might have to go through some tough times.

There will probably be times when you're sad, when you're hurt and when you're scared.
If that happens just look at this book and remember


28:
the day you two promised
to go on an adventure together; today.

People are beings that forget things, but it's possible to leave your feelings in an object.//If you remember how you feel now, I'm sure you can overcome any hardship that you may encounter.
note to proofer: feelings/memories are kind of same word in japanese. pick one

What Ringo's dad said was really corny, but...//he's right!! Let's remember today and do our best!
Yeah!!

It's a promise!! No matter what hardships there are...
Let's go on an adventure together!!


29:
If we're together then no matter what happens...

book: Mt Mirai, Choisaki Ridge
If we're together then...

What are you doing? Hury up and...
I won't...

Haah?
I won't destroy it...

This book is... my promise with
Nana-chan...


30:
That's the only thing I won't break!!

You... want to make me use my underlings...!?
note to proofer: not sure about this

Because you can't destroy it we'll give you a hand.

I... can't stop crying... To suddenly remember this now...
It's too late... It's all my fault. Sorry...

Right now Nana too...
N-not that~~!!

Sorry... I'm sorry...!!!
Nanaaaaa


31:
Back when we were kids we would go on journies to the mountains or to the sea, but....
you would always get in trouble, Ringo.

And in the end you would always call out for me...

Really.. nothing's changed Ringo...


32:
What? Banana!?
Why are you here...!? What about my cute little underlings...!?

Eh...?
I beat them up.
Wai.. Eeeeh!?

S-saying rubbish like this again!! This is why low level ability users are...
Well you two better get her this time!!

You sank my house and tried to attack me, but
I'll forgive you!! Because I have a big heart!!
But....


33:
I definitely won't forgive people
that make Ringo cry!!!


34:
Just like a frog in a well
I can forgive most things, but I'll beat you up if you stretch my patience.

H-h-how could this be? Your ability is supposed to be the lowst, E rank...

Yeah. My ability is "Banana Armour"
note to proofer: i think thats what it is
Originally my ability was just to manipulate the shape of bananas a bit, but...


35:
After training I've learnt how to use it for more things.
Not just the shape, I can now control the size, weight and hardness of bananas.//In my hands a banana can be any type of weapon!!

This is a weapon made by balancing hardness and elasticity, the "banana blade".
You'll regret it if you "underestimate" it just because it's a banana.
tl note: couldn't get the joke to work. underestimate literally means "look at it as sweet". so its a joke about bananas being sweet

Y-you're talking pretty big there...
Then why don't I show you

my A rank ability!!


36:
The ability to manipulate water, "Sarasvati".
tl note: wikipedia tells me it's an indian god.
People cannot live without water...!!//Because my ability is to manipulate water, that means I manipulate people!!

Fufufu. It's been a while since I've worn a robe...
note to proofer: should we say bathrobe?
Now that it's come to this I won't forgive you even if you apologise...!!
tl note: lulz the bathrobe is like her battle clothes

Know your foolishness...

for not knowing your own weakness and challenging me...!!


37:
Trident shot!!!
tl note: the kanji says poseidon's spear


Nana!

How do you like it!? This is the power of rank A...!!
It's a power fitting for a ruler.

Gu...

You won't be going on any adventures
as long as I'm here!


38:
No matter how much you bark, this is reality.
You should wake up and stop believing in some stupid fairy tale!!

If you leave the village nothing will change.//As an adventurer people will treat you with contempt... It's painful you

know?
....!

It's fine if people laugh at me...

I don't care what people think about me!!
Because...


39:
I promised
that we would go on an adventure together!!

That if we were together we can overcome any hardship!!
Nana...!!

Ha! How lame!!
I'll crush you till you give up!

And again!
note to proofer: that sounds lame. think of something better please


40:
Trident shot!

Don't think that just flinging water around will work forever!!
Transform!!
note to proofer: literally says expand but maybe open or transform would sound cooler

Banana shield!!!!


41:
Eeeeeeh!? What's that!?

It's not just weapons. If I want to, then bananas can become
the strongest shield!!

Come on!!
I'll show you what happens when you make Ringo cry!!!
note to proofer: again I think i was overly literal


42:
Gwaaaah
note to proofer: or just gwaaaah or whatever scream of your choice. i like gwaaaah


43:
I l-l-l-lost? Me!?
To a banana!? That banana!!
tl note: i would be pretty angry if i lost to a banana too

Now apologise to Ringo!!
Even now I can still forgive you!!

D-don't screw with me!!

As if...

I would lose!!


44:
How about this!?
Now be good and throw away your banana!
tl note: lulz best line evar

Otherwise something bad will happen to Ringo-san...!!

Ah.. Uu...

Ringo... The plans changed a bit, but...
You're ignoring me!?

This is my last invitation!!
Please tell me your answer.

What do you really want to do Ringo...?
I....


45:
I... I... I...
What was I doing...

What on earth was I scared of?

I thought that things were different from when we were kids...
but there was nothing to be scared of.

No matter when
or where

Nana is always there for me...
That will never change so...


46:
I...
want to go


47:
on an adventure with Nana!!!!!!


48:
I-I kicked Mizukami-sama so...
I can't stay in the village any more so... that's why!!

I-it's not like I want to go on a journey with you or anything so
don't misunderstand!!
tl note: tsundere <3

Eh... Ahh.. Yeah...
tl note: Nana looks like Yui from Angel Beats. Or is it just me?
What a tsundere... Aren't you supposed to be depressed or something...?


49:
Well lets leave the village before they make a big deal out of this.
Wait a second. Do you get that I'm only going because I have no choice!?

But your kick sure was great.
Eh...?

It was really great...
Which part of it are you thinking about!?

Doing a high kick while in a miniskirt... What big fanservice...
It's not like I'm wearing a miniskirt because I want to!

[And that was the beginning of their adventure.]


50:
[What kind of adventures will they have]
Let's go!!!

Just wait, legendary land Oz!!
We'll definitely find you!!
[on this enormous Dokkanon continent!?]

Ah!!
Nana!

[Look forward to it next time...?]
down the side: Good luck! Don't lose! Nana of Banana!!
