This year’s 45th issue of Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine revealed on Monday that the television anime of Yūsei Matsui’s The Elusive Samurai (Nigejōzu no Wakagimi) manga will get a second season.
Matsui (Majin Tantei Nōgami Neuro, Assassination Classroom) launched the manga in Weekly Shonen Jump in January 2021, and the series is ongoing.
The anime’s first season premiered on July 6 on the Tokyo MX, BS11, Tochigi TV, and Gunma TV channels.
The slightly odd Yorishige also claims to be clairvoyant and foretells that Tokiyuki will one day become the ruler of Japan.
