Souya Himawari - Right Here Right Now Manga

When a modern man slips through a wrinkle in time, he finds himself trapped in Feudal Japan with a powerful warlord who refuses to let him go!

Yanase Mizuo is a modern-day student who finds his life upended when a sudden distortion in time abruptly propels him out of the present day and directly into the chaotic landscape of the Sengoku period. Stranded in an unfamiliar era, Mizuo's strange modern appearance draws the immediate attention of Takakage, the fierce leader of the Yamako army. Rather than helping Mizuo find a way home, Takakage becomes captivated by the newcomer and demands that he remain by his side as a personal page.

Mizuo finds himself overwhelmed by Takakage's bold personality and intense possessiveness. Yet, beneath the feudal lord's demanding exterior lies a protective nature and a desire to shield Mizuo from the harsh realities of war. As Mizuo navigates the dangerous power struggles of ancient military life and regional conflicts, he must figure out how to survive in a world where a warrior is determined to keep him in the past. The narrative captures the turbulent alliances of an era at war, highlighting how a deep emotional bond can form in the most unlikely of circumstances.
