Yuto Suzuki’s Sakamoto Days manga started in 2020 in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump and has 23 volumes as of August 2025. Viz Media summarizes the story as:
Time has gone by peacefully for Sakamoto since leaving the underworld. He runs a local shop with his wonderful wife and child and has become a bit…out of shape. But one day, a past acquaintance seeks him out with a proposition he can’t ignore: return to the assassin world or face death!

An anime adaptation kicked off with its first cour in January 2025. Cour 2 is set to broadcast during the Summer 2025 anime season and will be available for streaming on Netflix.
