Ikemen Sengoku was launched in June 2015. The story centers on a female protagonist who accidentally

She encounters Nobunaga Oda (CV: Tomokazu Sugita), one of the most powerful busho/warlords, at the
Honno-ji incident on 1582. Nabunaga 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. With whom
