About "Gorgeous Butterflies"

*updates blog nonchalantly*

I was checking out some pictures from the Animage of this month, and I happened to find about this new novel about Tsuneoki and Nobunaga!
The complete title is The Strange Story of the Gorgeous Butterfly 〜The Young Nobunaga〜 (胡蝶綺異聞 〜若き信長〜, Kochōki Ibun 〜Wakaki Nobunaga〜) and the author is Megumu Sasano, a popular scriptwriter who contributed to series like Hakuoki or Bakumatsu Rock. The story is centered around the youth of Nobunaga and his special relationship with Tsuneoki Ikeda, one of his most faithful vassals as a warlord, and pretty much a brother during his childhood.
The "Butterfly" of the title should refer to the Ikeda kamon; incidentally, also Nobunaga used to sport a Butterfly kamon, related to Taira's.

But that's not all! Exploring further hashtag I realized that the novel is not the main item, but a side-story of a new anime project centered around the youth of Nobunaga!
The title of the series is The Gorgeous Butterfly 〜The Young Nobunaga〜 (胡蝶綺 〜若き信長〜, Kochōki 〜Wakaki Nobunaga〜) and it's going to tell about the rivalry of Nobunaga and his younger brother Nobuyuki.

I hope that this new project will sport some hystorical accuracy, but given the precedents I highly doubt so...Oh well, I'll watch it anyway!
The anime is scheduled for Summer 2019, and you can find the official website here.
The pictures come from the Twitter account of the magazine and the Twitter account of the anime.
