The Elusive Samurai (Japanese Name: Nige Jouzu no Wakagimi) is a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Yusei Matsui. It was serialized in January 2021 in Shueisha’s Weekly Shounen Jump and is still ongoing. As of February 2024, this manga has a total of 14 Volumes.
Viz Media and MANGA Plus simultaneously release new chapters of this manga in English digitally as they debut in Japan.
Viz Media describes its plot as:
“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!“
