Characters

  • Nobunaga Oda (織田信永)
  • A teacher who loves gal games. He dreams of being in a harem surrounded by many girls, just like in games. However, he has never been able to get a girlfriend, so those dreams of a harem are still just dreams. Because he is a descendant of the historical Oda Nobunaga with a similar-sounding name (written with different kanji characters), his students call him "Nobunaga-sensei", though it is said that it could be his reincarnation of Oda Nobunaga himself because of the similarity they have.
  • Saitō Kichō (斎藤帰蝶)
