Sakamoto Days by Yuto Suzuki. First English translation released on Viz Media's Shonen Jump on November 20, 2020.
Plot: "Taro Sakamoto was the ultimate assassin, feared by villains and admired by hitmen. But one day...he fell in love! Retirement, marriage, fatherhood and then... Sakamoto gained weight! The chubby guy who runs the neighborhood store is actually a former legendary hitman! Can he protect his family from danger? Get ready to experience a new kind of action comedy series!"
There's an ongoing pandemic and I needed some humor in my life to lift my spirits. As someone who's a fan of action manga and graphic novels, Suzuki's Sakamoto Days was perfect for me as it had the perfect blend of action and comedy.
Sakamoto Days is told from the perspective of Shin, a young hitman who was sent to assassinate Sakamoto as punishment for leaving the criminal underworld. Needless to say, Shin fails and becomes the Sakamoto family's newest employee at the neighborhood store. Shenanigans ensue.
It's a delightful read. Sakamoto has a close bond with his family and Shin learns that Sakamoto has taken it upon himself to use his skills as a former hitman to defend his neighborhood against danger. The manga is brand new and there are only five chapters currently available. The story is still progressing so new characters and adventures are still being added and used to build up the story. All five chapters of Sakamoto Days are currently available for free at Shonen Jump and the newest chapter is expected to drop around the second week of January 2021. ​So definitely something to take advantage of while it's available. I know I'm curious about how the story is going to move forward so I'm excited for the upcoming chapters of Sakamoto Days. ​ My Rating: ​???
