Now, before we share with you the release date, let’s; get to know more about this popular manga.
The Elusive Samurai is a historical Japanese manga, yes! historical just; like Dororo or Vinland Saga. It has been written and illustrated by none other than Yusei Matsui, who is also famous for his other manga series named Assassination Classroom.
Do you remember the anime where the future of the earth depends on students trying to learn to assassinate the octopus-like alien? Yes, that very same author has also written The Elusive Samurai, so it’s for sure going to be a massive success.
The Elusive Samurai is being serialized in Shueisha’s weekly shonen jump and as of January 2023, nine Tankobon volumes have been collected. Cloverworks has already confirmed The Elusive Samurai anime release, however, the exact date has not been revealed, but; we are assuming it to be released by the winter of 2023.
The Elusive Samurai Plot & Expectations
The premise is set, between the periods of Kamakura and Muromachi. To be more specific it was during the time of the Kenmu restoration around 1333. Hojo Takiyuki, the heir of Kamakura Shogunate becomes an orphan and his royalty is taken away, desperate to survive; he flees to another province and starts building a following in hopes of taking back the throne.
The twist here is that Tokiyuki is not a fighter but a good runner who successfully escapes heated or dangerous situations. The premise sounds great, doesn’t it? Plus if; clover works are leading the project, then; we can rest assured that the animation will be stunning for sure.
