Ikemen Sengoku was launched in June 2015. The story centers on a female protagonist who accidentally time travels back to the sengoku period of Japan in the end of the 16th century during her trip in Kyoto.

She encounters Nobunaga Oda (CV: Tomokazu Sugita), one of the most powerful busho/warlords, at the Honno-ji incident on 1582. Nobunaga likes her on sight, and other 10 famous busho who appear in front of her, including Hideyoshi Toyotomi (Kousuke Toriumi), Yukimura Sanada (Yoshimasa Hosoya), Masamune Date (Kazuki Kato), and Ieyasu Tokugawa (Toshiki Masuda), are all ikemen/handsome guys.

will she fall in love?
