Get ready for a wild ride with Sakamoto Days, a series that completely redefines what it means to be a retired legend. Taro Sakamoto was once the most feared hitman in the world, a man who lived and breathed the underground life until he met the love of his life and decided to hang up his silencer for good. Now, he is a slightly overweight, soft-spoken family man running a local convenience store. But do not let his friendly exterior and quiet demeanor fool you. When the shadows of his past come knocking and old rivals seek his head, Sakamoto must protect his peaceful life and his family without breaking his sacred promise to never kill again.

This series delivers some of the most creative and fluid action sequences in modern manga, perfectly balanced with hilarious shopkeeping antics and a cast of eccentric allies like the telepathic Shin. It is a heart-pounding journey that proves even a quiet life in the suburbs can be full of explosive adrenaline and high-stakes combat. Whether he is using a ballpoint pen or a frozen mackerel to take down professional killers, Sakamoto remains the ultimate badass you cannot help but root for.

If you are looking for more high-octane battles and the struggle of balancing a normal life with a dangerous past, you should definitely dive into the chaotic world of Chainsaw Man, explore the elite combat of Mercenary Enrollment, or experience the domestic spy thrills of Spy x Family.
