What is the obsession with Oda Nabunaga?? Yes he was a very interesting historical figure,... But why? My bro was also just like any other man at that time, sexist, (kind of a manwhore in what I've read) and just plain old fashioned. These are not traits most modern women appreciate. Then to have him represented in a Manga like Odas well known traits just don't exist kinda doesn't do anything for the story.
It feels weird knowing this is a real historical character. Like imagine an American version of this with a hot Abe Lincoln or some harem dating sim of the founding fathers and they arbitrarily decide George Washington is some possesive yandere type character and Benjamin Franklin is a tsundere. Feels very weird to me.
If you want a series that incorporates Nobunaga in a better way Sengoku Komachi Kurou Tan! is pretty good. Its about a girl who gets isekaied to sengoku times and is a major history and agriculture nerd so she helps unite the kingdom with Nobunaga. Still pretty weird and idealized but at least it freaking makes sense why he is there. this....this i think the author was just like what if nobunaga got isekaied?
Japan is still currently a conservative patriarchal society and Oda is the embodiement of cool rebelious dominant manhood for many japanese men.
I also hate the glorification of Nobunaga because in japanese pop culture he is always portrayed in a good light, be it in drama, comedy, horror, etc fiction.
People forget that he was killed due to his mega arrogance and by his own subordinate whom he mistreated for far too long.
tbh after i wrote this the more I would love a parody dating sim of the founding fathers. Im thinking too hard about it now. George Washington would be the overbearing prince character. Benjamin Franklin would be the cute glasses tsundere always getting into hijinks with his experiments. Hamilton would be the obnoxious playboy. Jefferson could be the bad boy trouble maker. King George could be the secret unlockable merry bad end when you unlock all the other paths and in his "bad" ending the US loses the war. Does anyone know a game developer? this could sell at least one copy.
