Synopsis

Upon an isolated island lies a school that houses the future heroes of the world. The student body, composed only of individuals with inhuman powers known as "the Talented," train to eventually eradicate the wicked "Enemies of Humanity" from existence.

The self-proclaimed elite class is introduced to two new transfer students, Kyouya Onodera and Nana Hiiragi. Their classmates enquire about their abilities, and where Kyouya bluntly refuses to share and asks to be left alone, Nana—possessing a natural charm and a supposed talent of mind-reading—enamors the class. Yet despite the class's enthusiasm for her, she herself takes an odd interest in a reclusive student named Nanao Nakajima, who is often bullied for allegedly lacking an actual ability. As Nana warm heartedly grows closer to him, her actions place Nanao in a position he had always dreamed of, even if for just a brief moment...

I have to admit, I'm enjoying this manga, even if I have mixed feelings about horror genre. Actually, this manga is interesting. The story about people with abilities, known as the Talented. I like stories about super powers and all. They were recruited to train in a school on an island to fight against the "Enemies of Humanity". The begining had a plot twist. I thought to myself "Why am I not surprised?". Also, I like the designs of the characters and the art. I love uniforms and I have a liking on fashion too.

And the characters weren't so bad, Nanao Nakajima was a boy read more

if you don't want to read my entire review, here it is summarized: talentless nana is good, you all are just mean.

with everything i read, it's never about some god-like realization i get. it's always enjoyment factor, down to the core of it. talentless nana might not make you a believer, but you're going to love it or i'm going to take you out.

talentless nana, at its core, isn't really about world building. from what i've seen, it's a psychological type of manga, and gives focus on connections. i don't meant to be so vague, but read up until chapter 5 before you make a read more

I'm writing this review in response to the confirmation of the anime adaptation, I was going to post this on that notice but it ended up becoming more of a review and wayyy too long so I decided to post it here.

I have mixed feelings about this.

On one hand I'm a manga reader that has kept up to date with this series, and just as the other reviews of the manga say, the first episode really gets you excited but then after that the story can get a little samey fast. There is little substantial character development that doesn't get... uuuh... to avoid any spoilers lets say cut off, and even then 'most' characters are not very like able and though that may be what the the writer was going for, there weren't many characters that could be empathized or sympathized with (in my case anyway) so it's hard to feel anything for them when they inevitably... go fishing.

Therefore if you didn't like it's big gimmick, the theme or you aren't a massive sucker for these kinds of stories then there wasn't much reason to continue reading after the first handful of chapters because after that you could kinda see how things were gonna go from there, and you'd be right, because despite hints of things possibly changing for the characters or story, it didn't.

But then something DID begin to change, down the road when you thought it was going to be the same shtick over and over, as if the writer did a double take and when you were least expecting it, kicked you in the nuts. Suddenly it felt like the story was moving, there was character development that had me interested and actually FEELING something for said characters. It felt like everything that preceded it was to place the main character in this moral dilemma, where they show their changes for the better but are struggling to cope with their past actions and doubt towards whether or how to deal with things from there.

However of course this doesn't automatically eliminate much of the problems, despite the change things seem to still follow the same "so and so of the week" formula. The issues people will experience before getting to this point are still very much there. And at this point in time I still don't know if it will be able to keep this up, if most others will appreciate this change or if it will return to it's roots and go back to being its old self, that for the most part, only people who are into this genre would be able to enjoy.

That's why I'm afraid an anime adaptation would probably fall into a similar pattern the manga did. People would be enticed by the first episode and continue watching from there but then get bored and leave before things get a chance to pick up. And even then that's a mystery in of itself because a single chapter of this book is L O N G dude, not anything crazy amounts but enough that there's actually more material than you'd think just by looking at the chapter count. Anyway there's a lot of material to cover before things to get to this point and unless the anime is willing to omit a lot of things (which they could probably do, there isn't much things you could skip over and have it negatively effect the story) or, trim the fat as they say, then I doubt it would get the chance to shine as an anime.

But all in all, these are just my thoughts, maybe the anime would be totally different and surpass all my expectations and I'll end up looking like a bumbling dumb ass and I hope that's true, because personally I can see this becoming pretty damn good given the correct circumstances and changes and would want it to be. But right now there's too much I don't know so I'll just be waiting too see how it is I suppose.

[Spoilers Ahead] Short on Purpose

Act 1, The Story & Characters: 8
The story sounds generic, but in reality it really isn't. It starts out like another chosen one story. Monsters come somewhere and reek havoc on earth. Then transfer girl called Nana, who supposedly can read minds, comes in and the first chapter does the obligatory chosen one stuff until the end. Nana kills the boy and said that the ones on the island are the true humanity's end. This was a mind fuck. Absolutely a mind fuck. Nana goes on the quest on killing the students on the island. She is very smart in read more
