Nige Jouzu no Wakagimi / 逃げ上手の若君

Information

Synopsis

Tokiyuki Houjou’s life is anything but easy: at the age of eight, he already carries the burden of an entire nation on his shoulders, as he is supposed to take over the shogun office of his father, Takatoki, one day. Unfortunately, the young boy has no special talents and has only perfected the game of hide-and-seek. However, this alone is not enough to be able to rule over the land of the rising sun in the future.

Yet, one day, without him wanting it, the boy’s life gets completely out of hand: his father and other family members are murdered by a man named Takauji Ashikaga, bringing the Kamakura period to an end for the time being. As luck would have it, he meets a self-proclaimed priest who saves his life and escapes with him. Now, he has to prove his skills from all the hide-and-seek games of his childhood days so he won’t be snatched from life by Takauji’s henchmen, too. In addition, the eight-year-old must somehow manage to find friends on his own and win them over as loyal comrades so that he can avenge his family and, in a few years, take the place of the shogun himself. Will Tokiyuki overcome these dark times and live up to his blood …?
