The Elusive Samurai

Set in 14th-century Japan, The Elusive Samurai follows a young noble who, after his family is betrayed and his clan destroyed, must master the art of disappearing to survive and reclaim his birthright. Written and illustrated by Yusei Matsui, this Dargaud series blends historical drama with Matsui's signature flair for absurdist humor and high-stakes action. Since its 2022 debut, it has become a standout for its unique protagonist—a hero whose greatest weapon is not a sword but his ability to vanish.
