'''''Nana of Banana''''' is a 2010-2011 not-at-all-serious comedy manga starring Nana and Ringo, two girls who are treated like dirt in their village because of their supposedly useless powers. In this world, the strength of your powers defines your status in society: Ringo's strong legs, which let her jump really high, are looked down upon by people who can, say, [[Making a Splash|control water]] while Nana... Nana can [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?|manipulate bananas]].
Both had been inspired by Ringo's father's tales of the magical land of Oz (not [[Land of Oz|that one]]), and of the adventurer that found it. They vowed to go on an adventure of their own someday.
Line 10:
We then see the [[Overly Narrow Superlative|very finest water vs. banana fight ever]], and Nana ''wins'' because [[Heart Is an Awesome Power|she is able to manipulate anything about bananas]], including making a shield strong enough to deflect water attacks, and a ''sword''.
But the chief takes Ringo hostage, demanding she "[[Put Down Your Gun and Step Away|Drop the banana]]!"
Nana asks whether Ringo wants to go with her. Ringo responds by high-kicking the chief into the air. Of course, after that they can't go back home for fear of reprisals, so they take the opportunity to begin their adventure into their strange continent.
