Fans of action-packed anime and sharp humor are in for a treat—Netflix has finally premiered the much-anticipated series Sakamoto Days, based on the popular manga by Yuto Suzuki. With its blend of over-the-top action and heartwarming family dynamics, this new release promises to win over viewers with every episode.
A Legendary Assassin Turned Grocer
Sakamoto Days follows Taro Sakamoto, a once-legendary hitman who’s left his violent past behind to settle into a quiet life as a family man and grocery store owner. His days of high-stakes missions are replaced with mundane routines—until his past catches up with him. Forced to rely on his extraordinary skills once more, Sakamoto faces a series of hilarious and dangerous situations, trying to protect his loved ones while avoiding unnecessary conflict.
This unlikely combination of high-octane action and relatable family struggles makes Sakamoto an instantly lovable hero. Imagine the cool demeanor of Saitama from One-Punch Man mixed with the warmth of a doting dad, and you’ll see why Netflix viewers are already hooked.
A Netflix Series Destined to Thrill
The series launched its first episode on January 11, with new episodes releasing weekly on Netflix via simulcast. Fans of the original manga, published by Glénat, have been eagerly awaiting this adaptation, and early responses suggest the show delivers.
With TMS Entertainment handling animation duties, expectations for the show’s visuals are high, and initial trailers have been well-received. However, there’s been some debate among fans over the opening theme song, which has sparked mixed reactions online.
A Manga Legacy Worth Watching
The Sakamoto Days manga is still ongoing in Japan, with 20 volumes published so far (16 available in translation). It’s already a global hit, boasting over seven million copies sold worldwide. This gives the anime plenty of material to draw from, making it likely that multiple seasons are already in the works.
Whether you’re a manga enthusiast or new to the world of Sakamoto Days, the combination of action, humor, and heartfelt moments ensures this series will keep you entertained.
Sakamoto Days is available now, exclusively on Netflix, with episodes releasing weekly. Dive into the hilarious yet action-packed life of Taro Sakamoto and discover why this series has captivated fans worldwide.
