The TV anime series Oda Nobuna no Yabou (Oda Nobuna's Ambition) - airing in Japan from July 2012 - is co-created by Studio Gokumi and Madhouse, based on a light novel series authored by Miyage Kasuga and illustrated by Miyama-Zero. The historical romantic comedy follows a modern-day high school boy named Yoshiharu Sagara, who is transported to Japan's Sengoku Jidai (Era of the Warring States) - except the well-known warriors of the era are female. Oda Nobuna, a cute girl who happens to be a warlord, nicknames Yoshiharu "Monkey" and takes him under her wing.
