Sakamoto Days is a really fun story about a retired hit man who runs a convenience store and the assassin that he befriends who then works at the convenience store alongside him. As a famed assassin, Sakamoto has lots of assassins sent after him so this is a fun comedy manga that balances his relationship with his family with him taking down the other assassins that have been sent after him. There's so much promise in this first volume. I'm excited to see where it goes next.

I saw this title in a pic someone posted about manga recommendations and it was everything they listed!!!
Absolutely loved the quick pace, the art style, the action filled scenes and that love has the power to change people because Sakamoto is proof that love is powerful enough to turn him away from his previous hitman lifestyle.

I love that so far each chapter of this collection has introduced a new character, aside of Sakamoto, and we get some background story on them but also additional information about Sakamoto and his past which adds tension in between the comedy and action but I think my favorite thing is how little Sakamoto actually speaks. A man whose actions speak louder than words 😂

This was a cute little slice of life story about a reformed assassin just trying to live his life. I don’t know that this type of plot was done in a way that felt fresh or new, but it was a fun, easy read for a cozy afternoon. I feel like I got what I wanted out of the first volume and I don’t really feel the need to continue the series.

Man, I enjoyed this one so much. I kept seeing it these past few months at the stores and I finally gave in. I'm glad I did. Never expected it to be so funny. And the art is very entertaining as well.

The concept is what pulled me in. Gave me Spy x Family vibes. Will be buying the rest of the volumes for sure.
