This is the Three-hundredth-thirty-fourth week of using the "Perfect Anime Girl Sheet". Notice: This Blog may contain Unmarked Spoilers.

*A world map is shown, with Topaz and Ririchiyo's faces above a Mario Paint-looking plane. It travels from China to Japan, with a dotted line behind them.*

Welcome back everyone. Hopefully you've been carefully reading my blog or you'll be wondering why Ririchiyo and I are here in Japan. Basically we're searching for Kan'u who has been said to be one of the saviors that I need to meet and blog in order to defeat some people called the "Chess Masters" that want me to quit my blogs. We were sent here from China as we recently met with Sousou. That's about it for the summary. Would you like to add anything, Ririchiyo?

???: Yes.

*The tiger hatted girl looks up.*

: I don't get why you're calling me this "Ririchiyo". I'm Inuchiyo.

Wait, you're not my assistant. Though you do look a bit like her.

: Really? Then she must have been sent to the castle of my master. We shall head there at once!

Which direction is it-GERK!

*Topaz stumbles on his words as Inuchiyo grabs him by the collar and flips him over her loli shoulder. She then leaps from rooftop to rooftop until they reach the center of a large palace. Before they enter, Riri seems to be having some problems.*

: I told you I'm not this "Inuchiyo" girl, I'm here to help my big friend Topaz talk about girls!

???: A likely story!

SHE'S RIGHT!

*Topaz barges in the double doors and runs up to hug Riri. She grumbles slightly but accepts it.*

: What have you been up to? And why does that girl look so much like me!

: Well, we are both hime cut lolis but I'm nowhere near as scrawny as you are.

: S-scrawny?! I'll show YOU who's weak!

*Ririchiyo pushes her butt against Inuchiyo's. She's surprised so Riri easily knocks her over, their butts bouncing from the impact. Inuchiyo stands up and brushes herself off.*

: You only won because I was off-guard!

Would you say that you were ...FLAT-footed?

*Both Inuchiyo and Riri glare at Topaz.*

N-not that there's anything wrong with that!

: What do you say we show this guy how great flat girls can really be!

: Maybe we'll squish him between our next butt-battle too!

*Clap clap*

???: Alright you three. Remember you're in my court so stop that horse play.

...But "horse play" sounds like something I'd enjoy!

*Topaz glances up at the throne and sees a blonde exposing her black bra.*

-Especially by such a beauty such as yourself!

: I bet you'd still prefer me though!

That's fair. Anyway, judging my Inuchiyo being here I can safely assume that you're Nobuna!

*Nobuna stands up.*

: I see that my reputation proceeds me! Good to know I'm such a globally-known name.

: Nah, it's just that Topaz here knows shows well. That and there's video games with you in it.

Yeah, but most of them are the gross male version. Who'd want to play that!

: And I bet she doesn't even have a Black Rayquaza...

Now now, it's unfair to mention that game. If only more people could play it!

: Hey, quit leaving me out of your conversations!

Oh, sorry. Sometimes I forget where I am. So since we're here, would you like a blog done on you Nobuna?

: What's a blog?

I talk about you on the internet.

: I see. Since you say that people don't know me well enough I'll allow it.

: Hey, what about me?

Unfortunately even with your great hair and loli body I can't judge you well. You just never really had that much screentime.

: Booo!

: Behave Inuchiyo! Besides, would you say that you deserve a blog before I do?

: N-no! I'd never imply that in a hundred years!

: I see. Since I've given permission this had better be a good blog...

*Nobuna cocks her rifle.*

: Or else...

*Gulp* Well then, let's get on with the show...



Her name reminds me of a certain character from your series, Riri.

: That's "NoBARA", not "Nobuna"!

Sounds like a good plan; "No bara". No one would like it anyway. I approve of girl's "bun-as" though...

Head
Hair: Nobuna has blond hair that's usually kept up in a bun. If down it does seem to be rather long, reaching past her hips or so. It does look pretty, with a nice wave to it, but not outstandingly so. Her bun also has a small "tail" to it, pointing upward for some reason and the bun itself has a red ribbon for decoration. Nobuna's bangs are pretty unique; she has a layered look with double M-shaped curves. This and her sides try to frame her face, but the lower set of bangs does fall near her eye level which is a bit too long for my tastes. She has pretty wide bangs so you can see some of her forehead in the middle, and in the center of the "Ms" she has an ahoge growing out.
Grade: B-

Eyes: Nobuna has golden eyes which match her hair. Unfortunately I'm not too big on yellow eyes, but I do like the fun marble-like gradient in her color. Her eyes are also somewhat tsurime-like, but sadly it's not in any consistent manner. The corners of her eyes are done well which lends me to say that, but she doesn't have too much of one at times. She does show a lot of expression in her eyes though, which works well with the lighting of the series. She also has pretty determined eyebrows, with an almost constant downward slope. Her eyebrows are also somewhat thicker than most, or maybe it's just that she has blonde eyebrows, but they stand out a bit. Not enough to get to memetic levels (she's not Satsuki or someone), but they are noticable.
Grade: B-

Face: As with Nobuna's eyes her face looks really nice with the lighting effects in the series. Sadly she doesn't have the best face, not only being somewhat average but being very slightly mannish. I guess this sort of makes sense considering she's a genderbent version of a famous Japanese leader, but the other characters don't have this problem. And it's not like it's THAT major either, it's just something I've noticed in my research. Fortunately she does have a nice face with a small nose, but I'd still say that she's about average or so.
Grade: B

Body
Build: Nobuna doesn't show off her body all too much. Well, occasionally, but you know what I mean. She's a lean girl that is strong, but she does have a feminine curve. Sadly Nobuna lives up to her No-BUN-a name and doesn't show off her butt. Her legs, while also not shown off too much, are shown in a few official images. They're not bad but don't have much shape to them. Her waist is nice though, but surprisingly she doesn't have abs (not that I mind, but even minor ones would show her strength). Due to her outfit her shoulders also get attention on occasion, but I'm not into that part.
Grade: B

Breasts: Nobuna's chest is somewhat ample and, again due to her outfits, shown off. Not to the point of some other series (the only time we see her nipple is on the cover of a fan book and even then it's mostly covered) but to a good amount. As far as size goes she's nowhere near some of the bustiest characters in the series (like Katsuie) but I'd call Nobuna herself at least fair-sized. There's an image where she teases her chest due to being warm, with Inuchiyo being flustered at her ruler's exposure. She also does a hand bra during the lead guy's fantasy, but as he can't appreciate lolis let's not talk about him (until later at least).

: Breasts are only useless decorations!
Grade: B-

Clothes: Nobuna has one of the fanciest and most unique outfit I've seen for a while. Her casual outfit consists of a black hakama with a yellow trim that seems to be made of tiger skin (she seems to have a tiger motif in general) and a greenish-blue haori though she has one arm out. This causes her black bra to be seen quite a bit as well as her shoulder. While not shown (except in official art) she also has matching black panties. Around her waist is a thick rope belt and she wears tabi-type socks with sandals-er, “zori”.
Nobuna also has a few other outfits. We first see her in her battle outfit which consists of black armor and a red cloak. Considering her hair color and style this reminds me of a certain male lead. It doesn't look bad, mind you. She also wears a pretty pink kimono with flowers (both the design and actual flowers) and a sash. Nobuna also gets wounded near the end of the anime, making her wear just her haori with some bandages around her chest and waist (sadly this doesn't mean she wears a sarashi. It would fit her well, though!). Official art also adds two nice outfits: a midriff-showing sailor uniform with blue trim, red hankerchief, and blue pleated skirt, and a gym uniform with red buruma (though sadly we don't see much of them). She also wears a black bikini but she has support issues I imagine (the bottom is nice and side-tied).
Grade: B+

Mind
Personality: Nobuna is the main female character from her show (which you should be able to assume by her name in the series name). The series in general is a modified version of Oda Nobunaga's tales with Nobuna here being a genderbent version. She's the daimyo of Owari Province and is dedicated to uniting Japan into one single country (rather than a bunch of smaller, independent ones). She's a brilliant tactician and general, but her opponents still call her a “fool”. Then again I imagine that at the time all of her actions did seem foolish her strategy worked well. Her biggest advantage was that this was a time when guns were still taboo in Japan. As a result Nobuna's forces had quite the advantage. However, it's not just the military might that firearms gave that Nobuna wanted them. You see, she's a major admirer of foreign culture. She's especially interested in European customs and even has the lead swear his loyalty by kissing her hand like a European knight (saying that it's "cooler" and "more elegant"). She also has an interest in Matchlocks which are a type of gun. She also has a globe and an organ in her room as well.
Attitude-wise Nobuna is surprisingly friendly and easygoing. She's a bit impatient (she steps on the lead's face, sadly with a shoe, when he takes too long to introduce himself). She shows concern for both the people she cares about and her people. She does get angry (or, more accurately, aggressive) when she has to do something particularly heartbreaking and this becomes more intense as her relationship with the lead goes on. It's also said that Nobuna grew up in a troubled family. Her father did care for her but her mother not so much. However, after he died she seemed to close her heart and gain a hatred of liars and such. His death also caused her younger brother Nobukatsu to act up with the advice of his retainers as they wanted him to rule. She does care for him but she seems to tease him by putting him in drastic situations. Overall she seems to want her father's approval an is trying to unite Japan however she can.
Nobuna is altogether a nice girl. Not quite an honor blade (even if she does use a sword) and not quite an aloof older sister either. As a result she's hard to define, except in the point I'll mention next area. I'll add that Kanae Itou does Nobuna's voice and does a good job with it. She also adds a catchphrase of "Dearu ka!" for some reason (this is translated as "I see").
Grade: B

Libido: Sadly Nobuna is a tsundere. This is unfortunate as if she was more dominant it would be cool to see her train her "monkey", meaning the male lead, to obey her orders. Sadly monkey doesn't have the same impact "pig" does though. Anyway Nobuna eventually falls for Yoshiharu, the male lead. She becomes upset at his womanizing ways but goes berserk when she thinks that he's dead. She's also not a fan of his womanizing ways but does mention that she does want to be "A" wife of his. Unfortunately this not only won't work as he's a time traveler from the future but I'm not a big fan of him in general. They'll probably still get together though.
As far as other characters goes, Nobuna does have some other options. She does have a few female admirers, such as Katsuie, which is an option in that area. Katsuie in particular tries to keep Nobuna safe from his clutches but often fails and eventually she starts to fall for Yoshiharu as well. As said before she also has a younger shota-ish brother. I would love to have seen them together (especially thanks to a certain doujin I've read) but I doubt it would happen as the two don't seem to have that sort of chemistry. She does crossdress him to force him into an arranged marriage, but luckily he gets matched with a reverse trap for irony.
Grade: B-

Age: Surprisingly Nobuna is only 16. She seems older than that to me, but I guess that happens with being a responsible leader.
Grade: B

Total Grades: 69
Average score: 7.7
Final Grade: B

And that's the blog for this week!

: How unfortunate for Nobuna, she got worse than Sousou last week!

: Really? But I'm the most beautiful girl in the world! Yet you say that I'm not good enough for your blog?

I was surprised myself too, especially considering your curvy body. Then again it's been a while since I saw your series and I haven't read the novels. Maybe there's things in there that I'd like more or I'm forgetting something major.

: Somehow I'm not surprised you remembered the part about the older sister crossdressing her feminine younger brother...

*Topaz makes a goofy smile.*

: Now, since my blog-or whatever you call it- is complete I shall ask you to leave.

That's fine, I don't think we have any other-*Ririchiyo slaps him*-HEY!

: Don't forget to ask her about the savior!

Good job remembering that, it's the whole point we came here!

: What are you talking about now?

I'm searching for a girl named "Kan'u Uchou" and we heard that she was in this area.

: I see. Well, you've got the right country at least but not the right region. You're a bit South-West of where you're planning on going. You're in Owari now and you have to get to Kanto.

Can we take a bullet train?

: I'm not sure what that is, but it sounds fascinating!

: Don't get too excited, Nobuna-sama...

: Right, especially because I know this is a gaming joke. Do you want me to mention we should start with Bulbasaur or something next? (This guy and his references... Though I like when I can play on his lap-Er, not like that, mind!)

: You folks from the future are always so entertaining! But if you're going to be facing the powerful warriors in Kanto you'll want some sort of protection. Inuchiyo, give them that weapon.

: Yes, Nobuna-sama.

*She disappears and reappears with a matchlock handgun.*

I appreciate the offer, but I wouldn't shoot an innocent girl. No matter how strong they are!

: Do not worry. This gun is modified to only shoot a special type of laughing gas. When it hits the person you're aiming at they make a bad joke. Hopefully this will allow you two to escape.

Sounds like a pretty random item, but I'll still treasure it. You never know when an odd item could save me so thanks!

*Topaz takes the gun and shoves it into his pocket. There's a slight bulge.*

: Hey Topaz. Is that a gun in your pocket or are you happy to see me?

...Can't it be both?

: Ewwww! I hate that C-option!

I'm just joking.

: Oh no, he's shot himself with the gas!

: Don't worry, he's always like that anyway.

: I see. Well, I hope you the best.

Now, let's get going Riri!

: Wrong person. Again.

Er, of course.

*Topaz grabs Ririchiyo's hand. She blushes a bit.*

NOW we'll be able to go.

: To Kanto! Hopefully there won't be any ninjas there that look surprisingly like me!

I'm sure there won't be, and don't go placing ideas in my readers heads. We'll finally be confronting Kan'u next time, to clarify. See you readers then!

*The two leave the grand palace.*

: What a weird monkey... N-not that I want him to return, but I really should have asked more about the future.

: Maybe next time, Nobuna-sama.
