Nobunaga Concerto
信長協奏曲〈コンツェルト〉
Synopsis
High school student Saburou does not pay much attention to Japanese history, considering it irrelevant to his own life. His world is turned upside down when he suddenly finds himself transported to the Sengoku period, landing directly in front of the famous warlord Nobunaga Oda. Exhausted and hiding from his own followers, the weakened Nobunaga begs Saburou to take his place, citing their striking resemblance. Though initially confused, Saburou is given the symbols of authority to prove his identity as the real daimyo before Nobunaga disappears. Now tasked with playing a historical figure he barely understands, Saburou must use his modern perspective and insight to navigate the challenges of unifying Japan.
