Series is due to debut in 2024.

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!

Sounds fun! And somewhat familiar....

It's based on a manga that has been running for about 2 years.

Nige Jōzu no Wakagimi (The Young Lord Who Is Skilled at Escaping)

Set between the Kamakura and Muromachi periods, during the Kenmu Restoration, the story follows the tale of Hojo Tokiyuki, a boy on the run after his family is overthrown by Ashikaga Takauji. With his only allies being a shady priest and his followers, the young lord must seek revenge and regain his glory, with his only weapon: a superhuman ability to flee and hide.

A rather high-stakes game of hide and seek, then.

Character video for Kojiro.

Character video for Fubuki, the strategist.

Debut in July.

Wonder when this will roll out?
