In a coastal Japanese town called Rain, a girl named Lacy Chan (Chan is her surname because of Chinese relatives) lives with her mom, Ko Chan. Between ages 11 to 20, Lacy got everyone to call her "Banana Chan" because Lacy was inspired by author Banana Yoshimoto. The town of Rain is surrounded by forest, except for the side that's at the coast. Lacy's natural hair-color is orange, but she dyes her hair blonde during ages 11 to 20. Lacy and her mom have green eyes. At age 14, Banana (who is Lacy) gets into a relationship with a classmate named Ryone; she considers Ryone a friend, but Ryone wants to be more than a friend with her; they hang out often until Banana falls in love with Ryone at age 17, and they get married at age 18. But when Banana is 16, she has a relationship with a guy named Roarke Alaska, and she never tells Ryone about that relationship. Roarke moves away while they are still 16. While Banana is 16, a 12 year-old boy named Buster Chan moves into the house where Banana lives with her mom. Buster is Banana's grandson from the year 2050; he escaped back in time to the present, from a future world-wide war with reptilian aliens. Buster has a cyborg cat named 937 who also moves into the Chan household. Although Banana's absentee father, and Ryone's absentee father, both work for top secret companies that build top secret bases throughout the Solar System, and although Banana and Ryone are arranged to marry when they're 18, they are not informed of the arrangement until they are already both 17 and in love.
