Love is something that has the power to completely transform a person. It doesn’t matter what kind of person you were before, but once you fall in love, you inevitably have to make changes within yourself to meet your partner’s needs. This very idea is depicted in the Japanese manga series Sakamoto Days, which was released on Netflix on January 11.
The story of Sakamoto Days is incredibly intriguing. It introduces us to Taro Sakamoto, who is considered a legendary hitman in the underworld. However, his life takes a significant turn when he experiences love at first sight with Aoi. But for their love to blossom, Aoi has one condition: Sakamoto must leave his hitman life behind and never kill anyone again.
Sakamoto agrees to this, and years later, we see the couple happily living a simple life with their daughter and running a store, showcasing their peaceful and content family life.
The story takes a dramatic turn when the underworld tracks down Taro Sakamoto and starts attacking him and his family. How Sakamoto protects his family while adhering to his wife’s “no-kill” policy is the central theme of Sakamoto Days, promising you an experience full of thrills and excitement.
