Talentless Nana is a work currently being serialized in Monthly Shonen Gangan, and is also a work that will start being animated in October. Boys and girls with various abilities that can cause supernatural phenomena are training at an isolated school on an isolated island to fight against the "enemies of humanity" that threaten social order. You might think that this is a work that depicts the battle between such people with abilities and the enemies of humanity, but in fact, that is not the case. However, it is true that there are many different types of people with abilities. I have summarized the abilities of those people with various abilities.
Ability User No. 1 "Nullification of abilities" Nanao Nakajima
The protagonist of this work...or so you might think, but in fact, he is the first ○○. A male student born into a wealthy and strict family, but was said to be the most useless of his family, and even after transferring to school, he was scolded for being useless without revealing his ability. His ability is "Ability Nullification", which allows him to nullify the abilities of those with special abilities. The more powerful the person he is facing, the more valuable this ability is, but conversely, the fact that it is of no use unless the person is an enemy causes him a complex. Aside from his ability to nullify, he seems to be a person with no redeeming qualities, but his estimated number of murders is far and away the highest, and it seems that the committee is wary of him.
Ability User No. 2: "Ability to read minds" Hiiragi Nana
A girl who transfers suddenly. While some students do not reveal their abilities, she reveals her ability to read minds on the first day of her transfer. The extent of her ability varies from hearing the voice of the mind naturally to hearing it consciously. However, it seems that her relationships before coming to the island were in shambles because of her ability. Despite this past, she is a bit bad at reading the mood, but she is cheerful and not shy, and she blends in with the class in an instant.
How about this setting?
He transfers to the school with this setting, but in reality he is powerless. The enemies of humanity are those with abilities too powerful for one person to possess, and the "committee" that governs the school isolates these people and sends in an assassin named Hiiragi Nana to secretly eliminate them. The personality he usually behaves is a lie, and he is actually intelligent, calm, and ruthless. His rare insight allows him to act like he can read minds. He is a genius with excellent acting skills, insight, and even knowledge of poisons, and seems to have been so intelligent that he was considered gifted from an early age.
User No. 3: "The Ability of Immortality" Kyoya Onodera
A mysterious classmate who transferred to the school at the same time as Nana. At first, he did not reveal his ability, but Nana became wary of him after he quickly responded to the disappearance of a classmate, and although he became a target, he was unable to be killed because of his ability of immortality. He does not die even if he is caught in an explosion, drinks poison, or is cut in half, and his real age is probably older than Nana. In addition, he has a brain comparable to Nana, and is suspected of the disappearance and murder of classmates. She was born without a sense of smell, which is separate from the cost of her ability, but it seems there is a price to pay.
Ability User No. 4: "Healing Ability" Inukai Michiru
A small and shy classmate. She was teased and bullied by the girls in her class, but after Nana helped her, she began to love her. However, to Nana, she was just a source of information. Her ability is healing, which allows her to heal the parts of her body she licks, and she can heal injuries but not illnesses. Also, using the ability consumes your lifespan, so if you use it too much, you will become ill.
Ability User No. 5 "Time Travel Ability" Shibusawa Yohei
A serious and slightly nervous classmate. He is a person with an ability that other classmates respect, and his ability is "time travel." He can go back within 24 hours and can also change the past. However, if he makes eye contact with someone in the past, he will be pulled back to the present, and traveling back in time consumes a tremendous amount of physical strength, and the further back he goes, the more physical strength he consumes. He believes he can change the past and is always right, so he has no qualms about changing the past.
Ability User No. 6: "Ability to predict the future" Hatahei Tsunekichi
A delinquent student who is listless, doesn't want to get involved with anyone, and has a rotten personality. His ability is to predict the future, and if he keeps an instant camera close by when he goes to bed, he can take pictures of future scenes. His predictions are absolute, and even if he tries to change the future, he can't change it in the end, so he feels foolish to make an effort and becomes a listless delinquent.
User No. 7: "Superhuman Strength" Kazama Shinji
A gloomy person who doesn't want to get involved with anyone other than his girlfriend Yuka, and who doesn't attend classes during the day. He pretended that his ability was that of a necromancer, who can control corpses, but in fact he was a superhuman strength user who was already deceased. Yuka Sasaki had been controlling his corpse and making him play the role of her lover. He only acts at night because he can't act when sunlight is out.
User No. 8 "Necromancer's Ability" Yuuka Sasaki
A bright girl who is Shinji's girlfriend and goes on dates every night. She pretends that her ability is superhuman strength, but in fact she is the necromancer, and she has been using her ability to manipulate Shinji, who is already dead, to play the role of her lover. She can use the abilities of the corpse and make it speak the knowledge she knows, but she cannot control the corpse while sunlight is out. In addition, when controlling the corpse, you need to hold the deceased's belongings in your hand. Yuuka is Shinji's stalker and indirectly kills him. Shinji hated her very much.
User No. 9 "Ability of Transformation" Tachibana Jin
The only survivor of the battle between supernatural powers at the school five years ago. In the story, he is one of the strongest supernatural powers, and can transform into animals and insects, as well as supernatural powers. However, if he transforms into a human, he cannot do so unless he is a supernatural power. Also, he cannot transform when someone is watching him, but when he transforms into a supernatural power, he can use that ability. However, even if he is a supernatural power, he cannot transform into a deceased person. His current appearance is that of a supernatural power with "telekinesis" and is not his original appearance. In other words, the character Tachibana Jin is alive, and his real name is not Tachibana Jin.
Abilities #10 "Poison Ability" Hanyu Kirara
A dark-skinned gal who used to hang out with Takanashi Kaori and tease and bully Michiru. She has the ability to turn her saliva into poison, but she must regularly prey on reptiles such as snakes and frogs. She was not a threat to Nana in terms of her abilities or personality, but she was killed by Nana.
Ability User No. 11 "Ability to teleport short distances" Takanashi Kaori
A female student who bullied Michiru along with Hanyu Kirara. She can teleport short distances and can travel to the other side of the island in an instant. However, she leaves without being able to use her ability.
Ability User No. 12 "Body Contraction" Ryuji Ishii
A well-built male student. A popular male student who is popular with both boys and girls. His ability is to contract his body and reduce its size at will. It seems that the limit of how small he can become is about the size of a pore. However, in the main story, he was killed before he could show off his ability.
User No. 13 "Air Compression" Sorano Fuuko
A tall and gentle Yamato Nadeshiko classmate. She is Ryuji's childhood friend and lover. Her ability is the compression of air, and she can use the wind pressure to cut objects, and depending on how much compression she can adjust, she can even carry things. However, she cannot control it well indoors, so she needs to open a window to allow air to pass through.
【Talentless Nana】Summary of supernatural powers
Talentless Nana begins with a shocking opening, in which Nana, a supernatural powerless person, uses her intelligence and drive to eliminate powerful supernatural powers. However, as the story progresses, the picture of supernatural powers vs. supernatural powers changes. It's a lot of fun to watch the plot and foreshadowing that are spread throughout the story, so I hope you'll watch the anime starting in October. It's an interesting work. You might notice something if you watch it multiple times.
