Sakamoto Days Vol. 1 (2021) by Suzuki Yuuto
Taro Sakamoto was a legendary hitman, feared by villains and revered by assassins. When one day, he fell inlove. Married. Family. Fatherhood. Gaining weight. He decided to retire and lived an ordinary life being a store manager with his wife and daughter.
Until, his dismal past keeps threatening him to comeback and the lives of his loved ones could potentially be drag into the pits of danger. Once again, he took back in action when things started to stir once in for all, in the name of protecting the people he cherised, he is willing to throw himself in the face of evil, harm and blood.
This manga wasn't your typical shounen jump series--because it wasn't a shounen category. And everyone was already hyped by this retired old dude.
Sakamoto-san was tubby and I prefer him to be like that. I think he is more awesome in such figure than being masculine and thinner. Reminds me of John Wick or Jason Statham in action but bulky like Thor in Avengers: Endgame (2015)--still cool and bad-ass despite the adipose tissues bulging--if you get the gist.
Her wife was so fined and a total green flag! What an immense of loving and understanding woman he had possessed. Truly, no wonder Sakamoto-san was head over heels for her.
Shin, he was a typical shounen and a good guy. A clairvoyant who can read minds huh. I really thought, supernatural wasn't involved in the story but it's okay it was still a total riff of bad-ass people with dope of action. Lu Xiaotan was a chinese immigrant who inherited her family treasures and heirloom after beating up that Bacho guys, and becoming an ex triad after Sakamoto hired her for being a store clerk with Shin. And things becoming more chaotic after that. After one another characters was also introduced, including Nagumo, my new biased. UWU!
It was funny, comical and truly entertaining!
