What is Sakamoto Days about?
Sakamoto Days — Taro Sakamoto was once the most feared hitman in the criminal underworld, an infallible legend who eliminated targets with everyday objects—until he fell in love, got married, had a child, gained weight, and opened a humble neighborhood convenience store.
Under a strict promise to his wife never to kill again, Sakamoto must protect his peaceful family life from endless waves of eccentric bounty hunters, rogue assassins, and the shadowy ORDER syndicate using pens, shopping carts, and god-tier martial improvisation.
