I still can’t get over how extra this manga is, and they treat every single ridiculous thing like it’s life or death

Look at that. Nobu is shirtless and wearing leopard-print hakama... like, are you trying to play Tarzan? And yet the whole thing is so darn serious I just can’t decide if I want to laugh or not

LOLOLOLOLOLOL it’s not just white burial robes, it’s white underwear, LOLOLOLOL

I don’t understand the logic of the Tokugawa in this manga, LOL...

How is this giant ball of rice “luxury meal”?

I mean, it’s a lot, but it’s still just one big mountain of rice.

Hyouge Mono 

A manga about Sasuke Furuta, a samurai under Nobunaga Oda who was obsessed with the ways of tea and sought the path of being a comical fellow rather than a warlord.

A great series that mixes history with humor. Yoshihiro Yamada is a master of over the top expressions. Despite the heavy historical setting and deep political intrigue, these colorful reactions help keep the story fun and jovial. I’ll admit that toward the end of this series I had a very hard time following all the various characters. Despite that I would recommend this series to anyone looking for a very different take on the popular warring states period of Japan.

Have you ever seen the anime Hyouge Mono? It tells the story of Oda officer Furuta Oribe and I was wondering how accurate it was.

I do not watch the anime, though I read the manga, so pardon if my point of reference might be somewhat different. 

The events are mostly accurate, but there are some strange details included, either for laughs or to make a dramatic display for “aesthetics”. 

For example, there was one scene where Nobunaga is depicted entering Kyoto riding an elephant. That does not happen. There is also a scene in the manga where Akechi recites a haiku about “Akechi’s wife”, which is a real haiku, composed by famous poet Matsuo Basho some few decades after Akechi’s death. 

There are also things that seems really odd, but are actually true. Such as people tumbling over in an avalanche at Azuchi Castle, because the stairways collapsed under all the visitors’ weight. I also have a few other posts that mentioned Hyougemono.

The one thing that comes to mind as being highly questionable is who instigated the Honnouji incident: The depiction is based on a popular conspiracy theory, but I think we cannot prove or disprove it at the moment (I won’t say who it is, for the sake of avoiding spoilers)
