Uhh... Did she make Nobu wipe the floor? Or did she literally wipe the floor WITH Nobu???

I'm telling ya, this is how Toshiie is like with Hideyoshi in a lot of stories. Pretty sure they're like this in SLBP too. Except in SLBP it's Hideyoshi who was there before Inuchiyo.

Like the ages align too. Hideyoshi is only 2 or 3 years younger than Nobunaga, Toshiie even younger. The MC here is more or less Nobu's age.

I know, I know, notorious trash shipper. I have skewed perspective. Still, yanno.

I am just going to laugh this to the grave. Somebody actually created a Nobu otome and made a Hideyoshi in disguise as the MC.

...Yes madam... if you insist

I... I’M... (´⊙ω⊙`)

They do it in every chapter of book 3, so far...

International fans of Kochouki will be able to play the spinoff app in Okko’s Honey Magazine app soon. The Prologue has already launched in Japanese. If you own the app, simply change the language to Japanese to give it a go.

The main/player character is a modern day person who time-travelled to the world of Kochouki. Assuming this is not just a truncated teaser, right in the prologue’s start “you” recognize that you’ve seen this Nobunaga in the Kochouki anime. Very meta.

Ugh. Child, no.

I decided to continue that Kouchouki otome game. But it seems that Nobunaga is getting married.

Weird, I thought Kichou was female in the anime?? She lost her breasts from some firearm accident????

Here's cute baby Takechiyo and Oichi if you want to see adorable things after the bad news.

Ohana (she's supposed to be Oinu, I don't know why they had to change her name) is interested in MC's clothing too. xD

[colourless-hydrangeas]

WTF...

[colourless-hydrangeas]

MC started talking about the anime, right at the start. I have a feeling that things wouldn't be as I expected.

[colourless-hydrangeas]

I didn't expect Nerd Nobu to appear this early. It's chapter 3 and...

[colourless-hydrangeas]

LMAO CONSTIPATED HORSE.

[colourless-hydrangeas]

Okay, that was nothing too weird. Nobu was interested in MC's clothing and had no idea what he was doing 💀

This is really not helping the niggling “the MC is actually Hideyoshi” quack theory that had been bothering me this whole time. Like, it’s probably because Hideyoshi’s story is a convenient explanation that people seems to accept, and Kochouki doesn’t actually have a Hideyoshi, so hijacking the story is actually pretty clever of them. IT’S JUST MAKING ME NERVOUS, THAT’S WHAT.

I dunno if it’s all from one singular source, like Ehon Taikouki, or if it’s a line of narrative cobbled together from multiple Hideyoshi books, but the popular story of Hideyoshi’s employment with the Oda was something like... pretty much how the MC got settled with Nobu in this game. 

Hideyoshi waited for Nobunaga in some road in Owari, jumps out while Nobunaga was riding past, and begged to be hired. Similar-ish cover story too. Ran away from home, had a weird conviction that Nobunaga is a good master to serve and insisted on wanting to be his vassal. Once he got accepted, he gained Nobunaga’s further interest by being a very good stable hand and the horses he handled looked visibly better-cared. It kind of got lumped with the “please hire me” incident in this game, but ye gads, same difference. 

Also according to the app’s teasers, the MC later got into some sort of friendly rivalry with Inuchiyo once he shows up. Well, why do you think Hideyoshi and Toshiie are friends in a lot of Sengoku stories? 

The thing about MC living in a world ruled by the Imagawa is also something of a peripheral similarity. Some versions of the Hideyoshi story had him serve under an Imagawa vassal clan called the Matsushita. Due to conflict in the household, Hideyoshi eventually was fired or just ran away from that house and took up being a wandering peddler.

This accent thing is a famous story associated with Hideyoshi and his wife. I think I mention this story pretty often in my blog but... They usually use the typical formal samurai language, but one time they got into a heated row, and they revert to local Owari dialect and everyone around noticed it. 

I mean the MC is a girl, so of course there’s differences here and there, but wow. The closest thing to Fem!Hideyoshi as an actual otome MC and with Nobubu as the love interest. And it’s not a prank/joke!
