SAKAMOTO DAYS plot recap, spoiler-light
Taro Sakamoto was once an untouchable assassin who commanded absolute fear and respect across the criminal underworld. Everything changed when he crossed paths with Aoi while she working as a convenience store clerk, falling in love immediately. Aoi demanded he abandon his lethal profession completely if they were to have a future together.
Sakamoto accepted this condition, left his dark life behind, married Aoi, welcomed their daughter Hana, and settled down to run a quiet neighborhood shop in the suburbs of Tokyo. Although he gained significant weight from his peaceful routine, his formidable strength remained intact. Years later, his quiet domestic bliss is shattered when assassins from his past track him down, seeking retribution or testing his retired resolve.

He employs clairvoyant hitman Shin Asakura, orphaned crime syndicate heir Lu Xiaotang, and sharpshooter Heisuke Mashimo at his shop. Together, this makeshift family unit stands against continuous waves of dangerous underworld threats.
