The Elusive Samurai
Nige Jouzu no Wakagimi
Eight-year-old Tokiyuki Houjou was supposed to be the next ruler of the Kamakura shogunate, but he's basically useless at everything—except maybe hide-and-seek. His comfortable life comes crashing down when Takauji Ashikaga violently overthrows the shogunate and kills most of the Houjou clan. A mysterious priest claiming to have prophetic powers helps him escape, and Tokiyuki goes on the run. From there, it's a survival story. He has to dodge assassins while gathering allies strong enough to actually take back power and restore the Kamakura Shogunate. The whole thing takes place during Japan's Nanboku-chou period, and it follows an unlikely hero whose greatest skill—running away—ended up changing the course of history.
