The Elusive Samurai has not revealed much information since the anime was announced in March. However, at Aniplex Online Festival 2023, fans saw the first teaser trailer of main character Tokiyuki Hojo. The Elusive Samurai by Yusei Matsui has been published in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump since January 2021 and has been collected into 12 volumes to date. The series has also been licensed in North America by VIZ Media. This marks Matsui’s third manga to be adapted into an anime, following Assassination Classroom and Neuro: Supernatural Detective.
VIZ Media describes the series:
After the massacre of his family by the traitor Ashikaga Takauji, Tokiyuki fled with the help of several loyal subordinates who also survived the purge. One of them was Suwa Yorishige, an ally of the Hojo clan and lord of Suwa province. The somewhat odd Yorishige also claims to be clairvoyant and foretells that Tokiyuki will one day become the ruler of Japan. But for now, escaping enemy territory is the top priority!
