The Sakamoto Days anime is returning with a second season.
The first season premiered in January, with its second split cour following in July. Netflix streamed the show.
Sakamoto Days adapts the manga by Yuto Suzuki, which began in 2020 in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump and has 25 volumes as of December 2025. Viz Media describes the manga as such:
Time has passed peacefully for Sakamoto since he left the underworld. He’s running a neighborhood store with his lovely wife and child and has gotten a bit…out of shape. But one day a figure from his past pays him a visit with an offer he can’t refuse: return to the assassin world or die!
A live-action movie will premiere on April 29, 2026.
