Back in May it was finally revealed that Yuto Suzuki’s Sakamoto Days manga would be getting an anime adaptation, with a Japanese premiere set for January 2025. Now Netflix has followed up to confirm that it will also debut its streaming version of the series in January.
Netflix shared a trailer during its ongoing GeekedWeek festivities.
Sakamoto Days Trailer
As previously reported, Tomokazu Sugita (Gintoki Sakata in Gintama) has been lined up to voice lead character Taro Sakamoto. The Sakamoto Days anime has Masaki Watanabe (the first Bartender anime) as director, with Taku Kishimoto (BLUE LOCK: Episode of Nagi) on series composition and Yo Moriyama on character designs for the TMS Entertainment production.
The Sakamoto Days manga has been running in the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump since November 2020, with 18 volumes out in Japan as of this writing. VIZ Media publishes the manga in English and describes the story like so:
Sakamoto Days Plot
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!
