Oda Nobuna no Yabou [Light Novel]
Translated in English as ' Oda Nobuna's Ambition', Oda Nobuna no Yabou(O.N.n.Y) is another travel back in time story featuring the Sengoku Period. Much of the generals and daimyos were turned into women in this novel. The protagonist of the story is another 'average' perverted Japanese highschooler mysteriously traveled back in time. Armed with knowledge of the Sengoku Period from Koei's Nobunaga's Ambition, the protagonist attempts to alter the course of history and prevent the materialisation of the Honnoji-Incident, as well as assisting Oda Nobuna's dream to unify Japan and transforming it into a global major power.
So far, I have read up to the third chapter of the fifth volume. It's a mixture of historical fiction and alternate history. While certain dramatic events were altered due to the protagonist's intervention, much of what happened in history remained the same. While it may be uncreative for those who are unfamiliar with what happened during the Sengoku period, it was fairly entertaining for myself. |
is this another harem genre ? .. and

It's a well written novel and the artist is the same as DxD if you feel the art looks familiar. For people who have access to it (i.e. language proficiency), I would recommend it. One of the major plot point is how the MC can prevent Oba's inevitable death in history (Honnoji Incident).
It's a mix of multiple genres including alternative history, historical fiction, comedy, and romance. Some people might say that it's a harem (there are other girls who like the MC), but I don't really think so. Spoiler for romance:
The MC is a Spoiler for position:

why does Nobuna downplay Saru's merit?

^ So it hasn't come to that part yet, eh. Well, given that I've seen some people dumping the novel illustrations somewhere, I can make that much sense of why it would even begin.
|
Is the light novel being translated in English?
|
http://shareraws.blogspot.com/2012/0...-no-yabou.html raws for the light novel if you can read Japanese...
|
I dont know what exactly happen from the reality MC was in.
He's somehow go back to the past and realize everything completely different. He help Nobuna to accomplish her dream then change the history. But the case if he was the part of history he would be disappear ... We still see him, so the result of everything he do might be finally same as what he know in future ... Argh, It's a goooood story, just hope there will be big surprises for all the readers. |
Frankly, I believe he is in an alternate universe, hence he cannot affect his own universe's timeline yet can affect the new one he is in. One could argue that whatver happens in the story will be the actual history of that universe, hence avoiding the time paradox problem.

Yeah alternate reality is most likely the case.
The impression I got at the end of the episode was that Sagara has accepted that Nobuna is not Nobunaga even though they're going through the same thing- the part that gave it away for me was when he said that though he knows that person's future, he has no idea what her future would be. |

After all, the protagonist's own feelings doesn't have to be taken into account :p |
So, does sagara actually kill someone in the novel?
Or he is like Rock from Black Lagoon... |
The artwork is fantastic, in fact more so than High School DxD in my opinion. The covers are also heaven, with some of them having a special alternative versions. Here's my favorite cover:

@Sumeragi: I love Nobuna, so I love all the cover about her, especially if there is yukata.

Then you'll like the cover of Volume 6:

On other hand, if one guy simultaneously hordes 5 girls without settling on anyone, I would definitely see that as a harem (assuming all the girls agree to this type of relation). I would even consider blockheads like Ichika in IS as having a harem because even though he isn't mentally aware of the harem around him, he is actually enjoying the semi-relational benefits (non-sexual) of having all the girls like him. The mc in Oba is a bit different from the previous two cases. He is aware of his situation, but he never capitalizes on it (Volume 6 is the prime example) because there is always Oba's voice in the back of his head, which unconsciously keeps him very well in check. It's not that he doesn't want to establish a harem, it's just that he's too loyal to Oba. |

If he acts like Keiichi does in Ah My Goddess, I would agree with you, but he is not. He is being temped by other advances and the relation between him and other girls are also ambiguous in the way that is similar to say Love Hina that includes many physical interaction and fantasies on his part. But really, I just love this series because of the historical element in it and how the series slowly shows the effect an outsider has in timeline. Though with that being said, I still think this timeline will turns out to be a paralleled timeline rather then an actually history-altering series when it is all say and done. I also can't wait for the introduction of Date, that chapter is of my favorite so far. The anime adaption is pretty good so far, and the LN is now officially licensed in Taiwan which mean I now got another series I can officially own. |

I agree with whsie, in fact, he set his own on Nobuna, although there are many other beautiful girls around him, his heart truly desire on Oda Well, but I do not deny it's an harem since he wanted to make the kingdom full of woman. |
