We can’t get enough of the brilliant blend of high-octane action and laugh-out-loud comedy in Sakamoto Days, and anticipation for the next installment is always running high.
They say love makes people do crazy things. For Taro Sakamoto, falling in love meant walking away from a legendary career as the world’s most feared hitman to open a neighborhood convenience store. While trying to build a peaceful, ordinary life with his wife and daughter, he constantly finds himself fending off an eccentric parade of former allies and deadly adversaries from his underworld past. For anyone craving a fresh narrative that masterfully balances relentless fight choreography with sharp humor, the Sakamoto Days manga delivers week after week.

When can we expect Sakamoto Days Season 2?
The animated adaptation premiered in January 2025 as one of the most anticipated shows of the year.

A precise premiere date has not yet been confirmed, but a 2027 rollout seems likely. Stay tuned for further updates as more details emerge.
