comment
Taro Sakamoto is the top hitman in Japan, a One-Man Army feared and admired by both hitmen and targets. Until one fateful day when he met cute store clerk Aoi and fell in love with her. As Aoi didn't like that her boyfriend was a professional killer, he left the biz, married her, had a daughter, grew out of shape and settled as the owner of a convenience store, who's popular in his neighborhood as a handyman and a jack-of-all-trades.But Sakamoto's days as a hitman aren't done with him yet... and after 5 years of peace, his past catches up to him...Sakamoto Days is a comedy/action manga about an ex-assassin who tries to juggle his placid family life with the revenge attempts of the Hitman Association. It can be read legally in English here, and Viz Media began releasing the physical volumes in spring 2022.Compare The Way of the Househusband.

Defeat Means Friendship
 Sakamoto Days (Manga) / int_19769f50
comment
Defeat Means Friendship: The first hitman that tries to off Sakamoto, Shin, is hired by him to lend a hand in the store and pretty much becomes his underling afterwards. Given that Sakamoto no longer kills, this becomes his main way of adding members to his team, with Heisuke also joining the main group in this way and even calling forming a brief alliance with one of the serial killers sent to take him out.

Fingore: Gaku tries to kill the old swordsman with his hammer, but the old man blocks with the katana’s handle and draws it while slashing, cutting off Gaku’s ear, ring finger, and pinkie. It’s a rather understated injury, considering the same attack destroyed the wall behind them.

Wrong Genre Savvy: Kanaguri assumes that Sakamoto is just a has-been extra in his film project capturing the ongoing conflicts in the assassination world, but he's the actual main character so Sakamoto shows he has far more to his repertoire to outwit and defeat Kanaguri.

comment
Aborted Arc: At one point, after their facility was taken over by a criminal cabal of assassins, the scientists responsible for giving Shinn his powers show up and try to kidnap him on their boss's orders. The same people who ordered the kidnapping never show interest in figuring out his powers after the arc is concluded even though they're still at large as of chapter sixty. It's later revealed that Kashima personally wanted to use Shinn's power to read Slur's mind.

Apathetic Citizens: You're either an assassin, or you're blithely going about your day while assassins commit mass property destruction. The noncombatants hardly react to anything that goes on around them, aside from the occasional deadpan "oh no!" even as people pull out heavy-duty sniper rifles or rip out lampposts.

Perfect Disguise, Terrible Acting
 Sakamoto Days (Manga) / int_2f8253ba
comment
Perfect Disguise, Terrible Acting: Sakamoto is The Stoic. He's not given to speaking much and even his thoughts are taciturn, as seen through Shin's. Thus, it's immediately clear that something is off when Sakamoto holds an actual conversation with Shin and Lu. It's not until the real Sakamoto arrives and quickly deals with the situation that it's discovered the other Sakamoto is Nagumo, able to change appearance in the blink of an eye, stopping in for a visit.

Implied Death Threat: When Shin starts a cigarette and says that Sakamoto is a shadow of his former self. He notices his cigarette has been cut and that Sakamoto is holding a box cutter while pointing to a no smoking sign. Shin takes the message "I may be out of shape but I can kill you in an instant" loud and clear.

Cartridges in Flight: The first volume cover◊ shows an entire cartridge coming out of Shin's pistol. The pistol also doesn't have any kind of muzzle flash coming out the barrel, making it look as if an unspent cartridge was simply thrown in front of the gun.

Guns Do Not Work That Way: Heisuke's rifle is often drawn in detail without a charging handle, even though he tends to cock it between most shots like a bolt-action. The volume three cover◊ draws the same rifle with the charging handle, but it has both a scope and a front ironsight; the latter would simply get in the way of the former's view.
