About Sakamoto Days
Sakamoto Days, created by Yuto Suzuki, follows Taro Sakamoto, once the most feared hitman in the underworld — until he fell in love, retired, married, and let himself go, becoming a chubby, mild-mannered convenience store owner devoted to his family. The catch: he made a promise to his wife never to kill again. So when his violent past comes knocking and a massive bounty is placed on his head, Sakamoto must defend himself and the people he loves using incredible skill while strictly refusing to take a life.
The series pairs slick, inventive action with warm comedy, as Sakamoto assembles an unlikely crew — including the mind-reading former hitman Shin and the sharpshooter Lu — to survive the assassins sent by the shadowy Order. Its charm comes from the contrast between Sakamoto's unassuming dad-next-door persona and his jaw-dropping combat genius. Adapted into an anime in 2025, it scratches the same itch as stylish no-kill action thrillers.

Sakamoto Days Fun Facts
- Sakamoto's entire premise is a twist on the 'retired killer pulled back in' trope — except he refuses to kill anyone, honoring a promise to his wife.
- In combat, the normally pudgy Sakamoto is drawn slimming back into his lethal prime, a visual gag that underscores his skill.
- His partner Shin can read minds, which makes their teamwork against assassins especially inventive.
- The manga is a hugely popular Shonen Jump title, known for its creative, choreography-heavy action set pieces.
- The no-kill rule forces genuinely clever fight writing, since Sakamoto has to neutralize deadly opponents without lethal force.
