I really enjoyed Sakamoto Days, volume 1. It has the perfect blend of funny and serious, and I think the dynamic art style is great. I’m really interested to see where the story goes, if there’s a wider arc. Right now, it seems to generally cover a slice of life style story, rather than contain a much larger one. Can’t wait to get my hands on the next one :)

I received an eARC of this title through NetGalley in return for an honest review.

This is a fun read! The characters are interesting, the comedic timing is perfect, and the plot is action packed. While reading, I could not help but think of One-Punch Man. It has the same idea. Sakamoto is One-Punch Man but as a hit man who just wants to settle down and live a life of peace with his family. But leaving the hitman business behind is hard when you're being hunted by the organization you left. Sakamoto is chill and underestimated.

What ensues is a funny, action packed manga with characters like Janitor Assassin and Pizza Assassin. There's fantasy elements and action elements. Perfect for those looking for something to read in between One-Punch Man.

After having Pet Sematary leave a bad taste in my mouth and ruining my 1 book/week streak of October by displaying weak and dragged out storytelling, I decided to return to my comfort genre just so I could end this month on a bit of a high note.

Amazing manga. I love the backstory of Mr. Sakamoto and I love the details of the fight scene.It was very engaging and also funny at the same time.
