Synopsis

Tarou Sakamoto was considered the greatest hitman of all time. Feared by many, he stood at the top of the underground world until he met and fell in love with a woman. As a result, Sakamoto abandoned his life of crime and now works as a convenience store clerk.

Leaving his shady past behind proves more difficult than Sakamoto initially imagined. Many of his former rivals and partners do not believe that he has truly left the business and show up in hopes of taking him out. Barred from killing, Sakamoto must find creative ways to subdue his enemies and prevent them from bringing harm to his family, his store, and the small town he resides in.

[Written by MAL Rewrite]

In that, he appears almost like a force that suddenly would appear in the heat of battle to tip the scale to the good guy's favor.

The main character ...

Sakamoto Days is breath of fresh air. You will not regret giving it a read.

For starters, the humor is genuinely funny. Something about the jokes and little facial expressions/quirks the characters make is so charming. Despite Sakamoto being an obvious standout from the rest, EVERYBODY has a history, a motive, etc. You will fall in love with these characters quickly.

HOWEVER.

It can get serious, FAST. This is an action-packed story about assassins. Shit is NOT sweet. The fights are incredibly choreographed, and while there are plenty, they all serve a purpose, and often bare some twists; as mysteries unravel and pieces to the story's ...

Preliminary (96/? eps)
"Sakamoto Days" is a manga I don't have much to say about. The quality of its art is commendable, given the weekly release schedule, although it stands in a stark contrast with every other element that constitutes a story. Apart from a couple of good jokes, there's not much to see here.
It is all so… simple, in a boring and simplistic way.
Worst of all, it's surprisingly predictable.
Because Sakamoto is there…


-------- It sets quite a high bar for itself, but never even reaches close to it --------

The beginning is undeniably the best part (taking into consideration 'only' the first 96 chapters). It has an idea, hook ...
