by

The live-action version of Yuuto Suzuki’s “Sakamoto Days” is gaining momentum, as new tidbits have been unveiled for its forthcoming fourth installment. Two additional actors have been announced: Yasuhiro Mamiya will portray “Boiled,” and Yumi Uchiyama will lend her voice to “Obiguro.” Fans are now even more excited after watching a preview video (available below).

The series premiered across TV Tokyo and various other networks on January 11th, simultaneously becoming available on Netflix. Netflix announced that ‘Part 1’ consists of eleven episodes to be aired weekly, while ‘Part 2’ is planned for release in July.

This anime boasts a talented crew at its helm. Notably, Masaki Watanabe, renowned for creating “KADO – The Right Answer” and “Bartender”, takes on directing duties at TMS Entertainment. Meanwhile, Taku Kishimoto, who has contributed to both “Haikyu!! and “BLUELOCK”, is responsible for the scriptwriting. Lastly, Yō Moriyama, best known for his character designs in “Lupin the IIIrd: Goemon’s Blood Spray”, handles the character design.

In a more conversational style, you could say: “The opening theme ‘Hashire Sakamoto’ is played by Vaundy, and at the end, Conton Candy takes over with the closing theme, ‘Futsū.’

The story originates from Yuuto Suzuki’s manga series, initially published in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine starting November 2020. Prior to this, he had previously released a one-shot in Jump Giga magazine in December 2019. Readers can access the English digital version through Viz Media and MANGA Plus, with print editions also on sale.

The story revolves around Taro Sakamoto, a former formidable assassin who stepped away from his past after falling in love and establishing a family. Currently, he runs an ordinary store and carries some extra weight, but trouble always seems to lurk just around the corner. Blending action and humor, it offers a unique take on the hitman genre.
