SAKAMOTO DAYS, VOL. 22

Sakamoto Days follows Taro Sakamoto, once the most feared hitman in the underworld, who walked away from the assassin's life after falling in love, getting married, and gaining a fair amount of weight. Now running a small neighbourhood convenience store with his wife and daughter, Sakamoto tries to keep his violent past behind him, but old rivals, bounty hunters and former colleagues keep tracking him down, forcing him to reluctantly tap back into his legendary combat skills to protect his shop and his family. The series mixes fast, inventive action set pieces with genuinely warm family comedy, as Sakamoto proves that retirement doesn't dull his reflexes. This volume keeps the pressure on Sakamoto and his allies as new threats from his past life close in, raising the stakes for the found family gathered around his store. Yuto Suzuki's kinetic art and comic timing keep the series one of Shonen Jump's most consistently entertaining reads.
