The Ambition of Oda Nobuna

The Ambition of Oda Nobuna is a TV anime adaptation of the light novel series by Harukaze Mikage, produced by MADHOUSE under the direction of Yuji Kumazawa with series composition by Masanori Suzuki. Blending action, comedy, romance, and drama, the series reimagines Japan's Sengoku era with iconic warlords recast as spirited young women. At its heart is the unlikely partnership between the ambitious Nobuna Oda and the time-traveling Yoshiharu Sagara, whose modern knowledge of history becomes his greatest weapon. A bold mix of historical fantasy and romantic comedy that stands out in the isekai genre.

The Ambition of Nobuna Oda is a historical romantic comedy set in a reimagined version of Japan's turbulent Sengoku period — with one extraordinary twist: every legendary warlord is a young and charming girl. Yoshiharu Sagara, an ordinary 17-year-old high school student, suddenly finds himself yanked out of the present day and thrown into this unfamiliar and dangerous era. With no allies and little understanding of his new surroundings, Yoshiharu crosses paths with Nobuna Oda, a fierce and ambitious young lord who mirrors the legendary conqueror Oda Nobunaga. Through a twist of fate, Yoshiharu ends up entering her service, navigating the cutthroat world of feudal politics, battlefield strategy, and unexpected personal bonds — all while trying to make sense of a world that is both familiar from history books and wildly different from anything he has ever known.
