It is officially announced in Japan today on May 8 that a TV anime adaptation and live-action adaptation TV drama with feature film of Ayumi Ishii's historical manga Nobunaga Concerto are in the works as Fuji TV's 55th anniversary project. The manga has been serialized in Shogakukan's Monthly Shonen Sunday (aka Gessan) since 2009 and the latest 10th tankobon will be released on May 12. The story focuses on an ordinary high school boy Saburo who unexpectedly time travels to 1549 in the sengoku period (the age of civil wars) of Japan. He encounters the real Nobunaga Oda, one of the major daimyos during the period, and is asked to live a life as Nobunaga instead of himself who is very sickly.
31-year-old actor Shun Oguri, who also plays Arsène Lupin III in the upcoming live-action adaptation film
of Lupin the Third to be released on August 30, is cast as the protagonist Saburo and Nobunaga Oda in
the live-actions, while popular voice actor Mamoru Miyano (Light Yagami in Death Note, Rin Matsuoka in Free!)
voices the character in the anime. The TV anime is directed by a CG creator Yusuke Fujikawa (The Skull Man
Yami No Joshou), and is set for July, then followed by the live-action TV drama in October, a feature film afterwards.
