Plot
Oda Nobunaga is a modern-day teen named after the famous warlord. He obsessively studies history, but is ridiculed for having no talent by his little sister Ichiko and his peers. One day, Ichiko suddenly gets pulled into a portal to the past and so does Nobunaga when he tries to save her. The unconscious Ichiko is quickly abducted by bandits for the mark on her hand that designates her as a Stranger. Nobunaga tries to rescue her but is too weak and unskilled and is quickly beaten up. He is rescued by Kondo Isami and taken to the compound of the warlord Oda Nobunaga, who explains that several people from history, usually famous warlords, are being pulled to his time and several are trying to conquer his land, leading the land to be ravaged by a multiway war. The marks on them designate them as Strangers and grant them special abilities. The teen Nobunaga has no mark and no special abilities, so the only thing he can contribute is his encyclopedic knowledge of the historical figures. Seeing this as useful, the warlord Nobunaga cuts a deal with him. If the teen helps defeat the rival warlords, the warlord will help rescue Ichiko.Publication
