The Ambition of Oda Nobuna
A lighthearted romantic comedy anime that remixes historical samurai figures as cute girls, blending time-travel fantasy with harem-adjacent humor and period-setting charm.
The historical romantic comedy follows 17-year-old high schooler Sagara Yoshiharu who one day time-travels to the Sengoku period, where all the major Samurai lords are cute girls. Yoshiharu meets Oda Nobuna, the girl counterpart of Oda Nobunaga, and begins to serve her as a substitute of Kinoshita Toukichirou, who has been dead in the world.
