The live-action Sakamoto Days movie is set to premiere on April 29. It adapts the action comedy 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 TV anime adaptation begin airing in 2025 and ran for two split cours. A second season was announced last December.
