SAKAMOTO DAYS

 

🛒 SAKAMOTO DAYS: The Ultimate Hitman-Turned-Dad Comedy

"A legendary assassin... now a chubby store clerk?!"

Sakamoto Days is the perfect blend of brutal action, laugh-out-loud comedy, and heartfelt family drama. Imagine John Wick meets Spy x Family, with a morbidly obese protagonist who can still dodge bullets like Neo. Here’s why it’s 2025’s must-watch anime/manga (and where to start).

🔪 Why Sakamoto Days Stands Out

 Unique Protagonist: Taro Sakamoto is a former legendary hitman who traded assassinations for diaper changes and convenience store ramen—but his skills haven’t dulled 
Hilarious Action: Watch Sakamoto flip between obese dad and lean killing machine mid-fight (yes, his weight loss is a power-up) 
 No-Kill Policy: Sakamoto refuses to kill, leading to creative, non-lethal takedowns (think: using shopping baskets as weapons) 
2025 Hype: The anime adaptation (Part 1 out now, Part 2 in July) is Netflix’s next big anime hit 

"I’ll protect my family... even if it means fighting the entire underworld!" — Sakamoto
