The Elusive Samurai is now working its way through its anime adaptation for the Summer 2024 anime season, and Shizuku is being highlighted in the newest trailer for the series. Yusei Matsui, who also created Assassination Classroom, has returned to the world of anime thanks to the new adaptation of the creator's latest Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine series, The Elusive Samurai. The anime has been catching on with fans thanks to its strong first few episodes released thus far, and will likely continue to generate conversation through the rest of the episodes airing throughout the Summer anime season.
