The upcoming Sakamoto Days anime has received a menacing red-and-black visual that highlights the assassins of the ORDER group.
Among their ranks are Nagumo (Natsuki Hanae), Shishiba (Taku Yashiro), and Osaragi (Saori Hayami). On top of these cast reveals, character trailers for the three, as well as for main protagonist and ex-ORDER member Taro Sakamoto (Tomokazu Sugita). were also released.
Sakamoto Days is set to premiere in January 2025 and has been picked up by Netflix for a weekly, worldwide release. The anime is based on the manga by Yuto Suzuki, which began in 2020 in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump and will release its 19th tankoubon volume on November 1, 2024 JST.
Viz Media describes the manga as:
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!
