OVA
Description
Nobunaga Asaji attends Aoba High School, sharing a childhood friendship with Honoka Tamarai and Akira Inukai. Standing 184 cm tall, he holds the distinction of being the tallest student in his class. His gentle and caring personality manifests as a motherly role within the trio, particularly shielding the naive and sometimes airheaded Honoka. He frequently acts as a calming influence on the short-tempered Akira, helping to de-escalate situations involving him.
He has served on the school's Health Committee since his first year, motivated by a long-standing crush on school nurse and health teacher Sumire Inukai, a childhood acquaintance. Seeking more chances to interact with Sumire, he joined the committee intentionally. Recognizing Sumire's status as an older adult, Nobunaga refrains from confessing his feelings during high school, choosing to wait until college or his career begins to avoid seeming childish.
Nobunaga shares a protective duty over Honoka with Akira, often escorting her to prevent her from getting lost or into trouble due to her distractible nature. He remains oblivious to Honoka's romantic feelings towards him. Throughout high school, he consistently provides support within his circle and assists injured classmates, reflecting his nurturing disposition.
A recurring aspect of his history is consistent failure in inter-class competitions; from elementary through high school, every team he joined has lost. This pattern mirrors a trait of the manga author's real-life friend. Nobunaga also possesses an exceptional inability to win Rock-Paper-Scissors games.
His surname, Asaji, references Asaji Station in Ōita, Japan. His given name, Nobunaga, combines the kanji for "trust, believe" (信) and "long, chief, boss" (長).
