Sakamoto Days Episode 1 recap – a promising start for Shonen’s larger-than-life hitman

Since November 2020, this manga has been running in Shonen Jump magazine, and it’s currently one of their most popular series. Notably, major titles like Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia concluded last year, but this story still stands out. The writer, Yuuto Suzuki, is the same person who wrote Garaku and Locker Room for the Shonen Jump+ app, earning him the title of mangaka. This previous success led to him being given the opportunity to write Sakamoto Days.
