If you’ve spent any time reading about the Sengoku era, then Oda Cinnamon Nobunaga is hilarious.
If not, then it probably reads as yet another Japanese Teen Girl Drama. The difference is that these teen girls all have dogs that are each the reincarnation of a Snegoku-era warlord. It also makes a compelling argument that it’s much better to be a dog today than a powerful warlord only a few hundred years ago.
(if you aren’t into the history of warfare, the Sengoku era isn’t a great place to start. The level of brutality during the Sengoku conflicts is up there with the worst abuses of the 20th century, which is implicitly juxtaposed with the peace and luxury of a dog’s life in modern suburban Japan)
