With the success of Spy x Family, the time seems ripe for Sakamoto Days to make its mark. The manga debuted in 2020, about a retired assassin navigating family life amid action-packed antics.
The premise of Sakamoto Days promises a mix of action and humor, with lovable characters like Taro, Shin “The Insight” and Taro's family – wife Aoi and daughter Hana. Not to be missed are the formidable villains reminiscent of a John Wick style story.
Despite being relatively recent, Sakamoto Days boasts an impressive 15 volumes since its Shonen Jump debut, a testament to author Yuto Suzuki's steady output.

Although the film maintains a humorous tone, it does not shy away from intense action scenes and violence. This duality creates opportunities for studios like Wit, MAPPA, Madhouse and A-1 Pictures to bring Taro's story to life.
Similar to the success of Spy x Family, Sakamoto Days has the ability to create its own niche in anime.
