Everything to know about Sakamoto Days

Taro Sakamoto used to be one of the most feared hitmen the world has ever seen. That is until he decided to settle down and start a family.

Retired from a life of violence, Taro enjoys being a husband and a father to an adorable baby girl. He enjoys peaceful days like this, believing he's finally hit a point in his life where he can rest easy. But if only he knew that there were many others who seek to end his life of peace and settle scores.

Forced away from a life of solitude, Taro dusts off his hitman hat to rejoin the life so many are calling him to come out of. He'll soon show the world why everyone should be careful what they wish for.

Sakamoto and company run wild in no-holds-barred, over-the-top battles that have stolen the spotlight and captivated audiences far and wide. In a world overrun by assassins like the special force “The Order” from the Japanese Association of Assassins (JAA), and a mysterious individual called “X (Slur)” targeting assassins, what is the true meaning of strength for Sakamoto? Get ready for non-stop assassin action as chaos ensues in the ordinary (and not-so-ordinary) life of Sakamoto and his comrades!"
