Taro Sakamoto was once a top assassin, known for his deadly skills and feared by many. His life took a turn when he fell in love, leading him to leave his violent past behind. Now, he enjoys a peaceful life running a small convenience store with his family.

The popular manga Sakamoto Days, created by Yuto Suzuki, has captivated readers with its blend of action and comedy. The series has gained a significant following, leading to an anime adaptation.

The anime is set to premiere on January 11, 2025, exclusively on Netflix. New episodes will be released every Saturday, offering viewers a weekly dose of Sakamoto’s adventures.

Despite his retirement, Sakamoto’s past isn’t easily forgotten. Old enemies and former associates occasionally disrupt his quiet life, forcing him to use his exceptional combat abilities to protect his loved ones. Balancing his roles as a husband, father, and shopkeeper, Sakamoto strives to keep his family safe without returning to his old ways.

The trailer will provide you with a glimpse:

The anime adaptation is produced by TMS Entertainment, known for their work on various successful series. Tomokazu Sugita, a well-known voice actor, lends his voice to the character of Taro Sakamoto, bringing the retired hitman to life.

For those interested in experiencing the story before the anime’s release, the Sakamoto Days manga is available in English through Viz Media and the Manga Plus online platform. The series has been serialized since November 2020 and has amassed over 7 million copies in circulation by December 2024.

In addition to the main series, a spin-off titled Sakamoto Days Holidays began serialization in July 2024, offering fans more content from the Sakamoto Days universe.

The anime’s opening theme song, ‘RUN SAKAMOTO RUN’ by Vaundy, has been released, giving fans a taste of what’s to come. The energetic track complements the series’ dynamic action scenes and adds to the anticipation for the premiere.

As the premiere date approaches, excitement continues to build among audiences worldwide. The combination of a compelling storyline, engaging characters, and high-quality animation suggests that Sakamoto Days is poised to be a standout addition to Netflix’s anime lineup.

Mark your calendars for January 11, 2025, and prepare to follow Taro Sakamoto as he navigates the challenges of his new life while confronting the shadows of his past.
