In the wake of betrayal and bloodshed, young Hojo Tokiyuki—the rightful heir to the Kamakura shogunate—finds his world shattered when the ruthless Ashikaga Takauji seizes power. Stripped of his family, home, and title, Tokiyuki is left with nothing… except an extraordinary gift: the unparalleled ability to escape. With a mysterious priest and his eccentric followers as his only allies, the young lord embarks on a perilous journey to reclaim his birthright. As assassins lurk in every shadow, Tokiyuki must master the art of survival, recruit loyal warriors, and turn flight into his greatest weapon. Set during Japan’s turbulent Nanboku-chou period, The Elusive Samurai is a thrilling tale of revenge, resilience, and a forgotten hero who shaped history—one daring escape at a time. Adapted from the manga by Yusei Matsui (Assassination Classroom).
