In the most
recent edition of the digital magazine License Global , the production
of an anime adaptation for the manga written and illustrated by Yuuto
Suzuki , “ Sakamoto
Days ”, was listed , whose premiere is scheduled for this
year through the Netflix global catalog.
It should
be noted that although this information comes from an official media, the
adaptation has not been officially announced by either Netflix or Shueisha but,
considering that the release window is this year, it is possible that the
official announcement will come very soon. It is worth noting that this is not the first
time that an anime adaptation for this work has been mentioned, since the first
"reliable" leak in this regard emerged in August 2022.
For his
part, Yuuto Suzuki began publishing the manga through Shueisha 's Weekly
Shonen Jump magazine in November 2020 and it is still in
serialization. Suzuki is also the author of other one-shot works such as
“ Locker Room ” and “ Garaku .” In fact,
“ Sakamoto Days ” comes from a one-shot that he published in
2019, making it his first serialized manga of his.
Synopsis
of Sakamoto Days
Tarou
Sakamoto was considered the best hitman of all time. Feared by many, he was at
the top of the underground world until he met and fell in love with a woman. As
a result, Sakamoto abandoned his life of crime and now works as a store clerk.
Leaving his shady past behind turns out to be more difficult than Sakamoto
originally imagined. Many of his former rivals and associates do not believe he
has really left the business and show up hoping to put an end to him. With the
ban on killing, Sakamoto must find creative ways to subdue his enemies and
prevent them from harming his family, his store, and the small town in which he
resides.
