Viz Media outlines the manga’s premise as follows:
Time has passed peacefully for Sakamoto since he exited the underworld. He runs a neighborhood store alongside his wonderful wife and child and has become somewhat… out of shape. However, one day, a figure from his past arrives with an offer he cannot refuse: return to the assassin world or face death!
The Sakamoto Days manga first appeared in 2020 in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump and currently has 24 volumes as of October 2025.
