TMS Entertainment is moving forward with the anime adaptation of Sakamoto Days, and fans have something big coming their way. The second season will officially premiere on Netflix in January 2027. The new teaser trailer is packed with fast-paced action, showing professional assassins at their best and giving a glimpse of a season filled with energy, humor, and high-tension battles.
The original manga by Yuto Suzuki began in Weekly Shonen Jump in November 2020 under Shueisha and has since grown into a long-running hit with over 27 volumes. The story blends sharp action, comedy, and genuine heart, following a cast that feels both over-the-top and relatable. In the recent volumes, the plot has moved toward the long-awaited “final battle” arc, something readers have been looking forward to for years.
The first season aired in 2025, released in two parts with 11 episodes each. It captured the mix of warmth and chaos that defines the manga—balancing everyday family life with outrageous fights. Its success led to a live-action film in Japan later that same year, offering a different take on the story. Over time, the franchise has grown even more, with spin-offs like Sakamoto Holidays and light novels that dive deeper into the lives of retired assassins turned shopkeepers and their unexpected adventures.
Taro Sakamoto was once the most feared hitman in the underworld. Every criminal knew his name, and rivals respected his skill. But everything changed when he fell in love. He gave up the life of a killer, got married, and became a father. These days he runs a small convenience store, his once-legendary physique softening as life slows down. Still, trouble doesn’t stay away for long. When danger threatens his family, can the man who walked away from violence find it in himself to fight again for what truly matters?
