Hi, I'm Alan Holman! Now, allow me to tell you about a story that I wrote, which is called Banana Chan ...

In the coastal town of Rain, nestled in an imagined version of Japan with a touch of westernization, a vibrant tale unfolds following the life of a girl named Lacy, affectionately known as Banana. From childhood to adulthood, Banana traverses a landscape of choices, challenges, and relationships, all against the backdrop of battling against societal norms and unseen forces.

Episode 1 sets the stage in 2002, introducing an 11-year-old Banana who has recently returned to Rain from Tokyo. Longing for her friend Boden, she finds herself drawn into arbitrary battles against monsters alongside three persistent girls. These encounters sow the seeds of understanding that life is a series of choices, each with its consequences.

As Banana matures, so do the complexities of her relationships. Episode 3 reveals an arranged marriage between Banana and a boy named Ryone, throwing her emotions into turmoil as memories of her past friendship with Boden resurface. The theme of choice resurfaces as Banana grapples with the notion that some decisions in life may not be entirely her own.

In Episode 8, the narrative takes a fantastical turn as Banana's pet cat, revealed to be a cyborg, and her future grandson Buster, who has traveled back in time, enter the scene. With a glimpse into future possibilities, Banana confronts the idea that fate might not be set in stone, sparking a journey of self-discovery and questioning.

Throughout the series, Banana's relationships with Ryone, Buster, and others evolve amidst a backdrop of intrigue and adventure. From uncovering government plots to navigating the complexities of love and friendship, Banana's journey is one of growth, resilience, and ultimately, self-realization.

In the climactic finale, Episode 35 and 36, Banana and Ryone transcend the confines of time and space, becoming masters of their own destiny. Their union symbolizes a triumph over fate and a testament to the power of choice and love in shaping one's path.

As the series concludes, Banana emerges not just as a heroine but as a symbol of hope and resilience in the face of adversity. Her journey, filled with twists and turns, serves as a reminder that while the powers that be may try to dictate our path, ultimately, it is our choices that define our destiny.
