What is Sakamoto Days About?
Sakamoto Days tells the story of the ultimate assassin, Taro Sakamoto, who is feared by villains and admired by other hitmen. One day, he falls in love and out of shape, preoccupied with marriage, retirement, and fatherhood.
Despite that, he’s still armed with superhuman skill and strength, and during extreme situations, he loses his extra weight and gains twice the power he had before.
When his past catches up, Sakamoto must embrace his previous life again and work with his comrades to protect his family from the looming bands of assassins.
The first season is being split into two parts with Part 2 currently slated to air in July later this year.
