Today, I’ll be talking about the anime Sakamoto Days
Synopsys
Tarou Sakamoto was once the best hitman ever, feared by everyone in the underground world. But everything changed when he fell in love. He gave up his dangerous job and now works peacefully at a convenience store. However, leaving his past behind isn’t easy. Old rivals and partners still think he’s in the business and come after him. Since he refuses to kill, Sakamoto must use clever tricks to stop his enemies and protect his family, store, and town.
