Yuto Suzuki writes and draws the SAKAMOTO DAYS manga series. It has been serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine since 2020, with a total of 28 volumes released as of August 4, 2026. VIZ Media licensed the manga in English. The series also got a live-action film adaptation, which released in Japan during the 2026 Golden Week (April 29 to May 5).

The story follows Taro Sakamoto, a legendary hitman who retired in order to marry and have a child. He now runs a store, but his past life is not that easy to get rid off. Despite looking very different as a retiree, Sakamoto will not hesitate to protect his family and take down anyone who tries to put them in danger.
