“Nobunaga Concerto” is a popular Japanese franchise originally a manga by Ayumi Ishii that was adapted into a 2014 live-action TV drama and a 2016 film. It follows a modern high-school student, Saburō (later known as Saburō / Saburō’s impersonating role), who is accidentally sent back to Japan’s Sengoku period and must impersonate the warlord Oda Nobunaga to change history while navigating politics, loyalty, and identity. The series blends historical drama, comedy, and coming-of-age themes.
