The Man Who Killed Nobunaga: The Truth of Honnouji Incident Found after 431 Years

信長を殺した男~本能寺の変 431年目の真実~

In 1582, the warlord Oda Nobunaga, on the verge of unifying Japan, is betrayed and killed at Honnouji Temple by his trusted general, Akechi Mitsuhide. This event, known as the Honnouji Incident, remains one of the greatest mysteries in Japanese history.

431 years later, a man named Kenzaburou Akechi, a descendant of Mitsuhide, uncovers a hidden truth about that fateful day. Using modern historical research and forensic analysis, he pieces together the real motives and circumstances behind Nobunaga's assassination.

As Kenzaburou delves deeper, he reveals a complex web of political intrigue, personal ambitions, and a side of Nobunaga that history has forgotten. The manga challenges popular myths and presents a fresh, evidence-based perspective on the man who killed Nobunaga and why.
