The Elusive Samurai Anime Debuts In 2024

Yusei Matsui’s The Elusive Samurai manga is getting an anime adaptation.

During an Aniplex stream today, the distributor announced that the anime adaptation will air in 2024, followed by a trailer and key art/poster.

Here’s the official synopsis of the show:

After the massacre of his family by the traitor Ashikaga Takauji, Tokiyuki flees with the help of a handful of loyal retainers who have also survived the purge. One of them is Suwa Yorishige, an ally of the Hojo clan and lord of Suwa Province. The slightly odd Yorishige also claims to be clairvoyant and foretells that Tokiyuki will one day become the ruler of Japan. But for the moment, escaping from enemy territory is the priority!
