The Elusive Samurai, Vol. 23 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781974769469)

In war-torn medieval Japan, a young samurai lord struggles to retake his throne, but not by fighting. Hojo Tokiyuki will reclaim his birthright by running away!

In medieval Japan, eight-year-old Hojo Tokiyuki is the heir to the Kamakura shogunate. But the Hojo clan is in decline, and Tokiyuki's peaceful days of playing hide-and-seek with his teachers come to an abrupt end when his clan is betrayed from within. The lone survivor of his family, Tokiyuki is the rightful heir to the throne, but to take it back, he'll have to do what he does best--run away!

His heart filled with sorrow, Tokiyuki battles his old comrade Fubuki, who is in charge of the Ashikaga forces occupying Suzawa castle in Kai. When the battle is over, the conflict between the Ashikaga factions continues in deadly earnest. To carry on with his fight against Takauji, Tokiyuki joins with Tadayoshi--Ashikaga Takauji's estranged younger brother--to take on Kono Moronao's faction. The struggle will come to a bloody end outside Kyo, and the only winner may be...Takauji?
