Sakamoto Days promotional video gave us a glimpse into the story


The story of Sakamoto Days revolves around an ex-assassin named Taro Sakamoto who gave up the life of killing after he met his wife Aoi Sakamoto. Now the legendary hitman is a store owner, husband, and father, who has gained a lot of weight. But just because Sakamoto has gotten out of the life of an assassin does not mean ghosts from his past still don’t follow him around. 

The new promotional video for the anime showed us Taro Sakamoto, his wife Aoi, and daughter Hana Sakamoto and how he left his old life behind. We also got a glimpse of Shin Asakura, a clairvoyant assassin who joins Sakamoto’s life after he is moved by his plight to live a normal life. The ending of the PV also provided the audience with more details about the anime. However, the video was mostly done in the style of the manga and the actual anime might look a bit different.

A new character composition for Taro Sakamoto has also been revealed by the account. Hopefully, we will soon get to know who the other voice actors for the series are.
