I love this anime 😭❤️💯

Okay, fellow anime lovers, if you haven't dived into Sakamoto Days yet, you are seriously missing out! I wanted to give you a quick 'resume' – a rundown of why this series has captured my heart and what makes it so incredibly engaging. It's not just another action anime; it's a fantastic blend of comedy, thrilling fights, and surprisingly deep character moments that keep you hooked from the very first chapter. So, what exactly is Sakamoto Days about? Imagine the world's greatest hitman, a legendary figure named Taro Sakamoto, suddenly decides to retire from his deadly profession. He falls in love, gets married, has a daughter, and settles down to run a humble convenience store. The catch? He's also gained a significant amount of weight and can no longer speak due to a secret oath. His past, however, isn't quite ready to let him go. The series kicks off with him trying to protect his peaceful, ordinary life from a constant stream of former colleagues, rivals, and various assassins, all while maintaining his new, non-killing persona. It's absolutely hilarious to see him fight off highly trained killers with a broomstick, a shopping cart, or even just his wits, but he still possesses those legendary, lightning-fast moves when the situation truly demands it. What truly makes Sakamoto Days a must-read (and soon-to-be must-watch as an anime!) is its unique blend of high-octane, creatively choreographed action sequences with genuinely funny slice-of-life moments. The humor often comes from Sakamoto's deadpan reactions, the bizarre situations he finds himself in, and the dynamic relationships he builds. The fight scenes are incredibly dynamic and imaginative, making every confrontation a spectacle. Plus, the manga's art style is just chef's kiss! Beyond our silent, formidable protagonist, the world of Sakamoto Days is populated by an unforgettable cast of characters. Of course, there's Taro Sakamoto himself, the absolute legend whose past and present struggles drive the narrative. Then we have his loyal, mind-reading apprentice, Shin, who often acts as Sakamoto's voice and moral compass, frequently getting into trouble himself. Joining them is Lu Xiaotang (sometimes seen as Lu Shaotang), a skilled martial artist with her own backstory, who adds a fierce yet endearing presence to the team. And let's not forget the elite assassins known as the 'Order' – these guys are on another level! My personal favorites include Nagumo, Sakamoto's old partner, who is a complete wild card – incredibly powerful, charming, yet utterly unpredictable. Then there's Shishiba, the axe-wielding, no-nonsense enforcer who brings a heavy dose of brute force and unwavering loyalty. We also have Heisuke, the precise sniper who often provides some comedic relief, and the incredibly formidable yet mysterious figure of Takamura. There’s also Osaragi (who the OCR picked up as Osare), deceptively cute but incredibly dangerous, and other intriguing characters like Seba (perhaps Kashima from JCC?) and even SLin, who add further depth and excitement to the series. Each character, from the main cast to even the more minor antagonists, feels unique and well-developed, making the world feel so rich. Seriously, if you're looking for an anime that delivers on all fronts – action, comedy, and heart – Sakamoto Days is it. This 'resume' just scratches the surface, but I truly hope it gives you enough reason to jump into this incredible series. You won't regret meeting Sakamoto and his amazing cast of friends and foes!
