The first episode of Sakamoto Days bursts onto the scene with an explosive mix of action, comedy, and heartwarming slice-of-life moments that have become a staple of the manga since its first publication. It introduces the layered world of Taro Sakamoto, a retired hitman turned convenience store owner, whose quest for peace is constantly interrupted by the remnants of his deadly past as an assassin. At first glance, Sakamoto seems like an average middle-aged man, slightly overweight and unassuming, but a flicker of tension in his eyes hints at something deeper.
