Oda Cinnamon Nobunaga

Before his death at Honnouji in 1582, the great warlord Oda Nobunaga stood before a statue of Buddha and mused that his sins were so numerous that rebirth as a dog might be his fate. He never anticipated Buddha would take his words literally, but the next moment he finds himself inhabiting the body of a Shiba Inu named Shinamon in modern Japan. Far from thrilled that his human warlord consciousness is trapped in the instinct-driven frame of an adorable house pet, Nobunaga grapples between making the best of it (he can finally test that ruff everyone was wearing!) and resenting the reality (that ruff turns out to be a bath hat, and now baths are unavoidable). Is it better—or worse—that many of his fellow warriors also seem to have been reincarnated in canine form—and that his enemy looks like he lucked out and got to be a human?
