- 0:05What's up, y'all? And welcome back to Danny's to
- 0:07talk, I'm your host, Robert. And today, we're going to be
- 0:11talking about that. Oh, so good.
- 0:15Sakamoto days, volume one. Now, I had to, I had to make
- 0:25sure I did my part on this lovely manga, Sunday, Sakamoto
- 0:32Sunday, if you will, to let the people know, the, the people and
- 0:39the community people in the streets are, as my friends, over
- 0:41at the comment, has pockets call it.
- 0:43The manga streets, I had to let the manga streets know What is
- 0:48going on with Sakamoto days? Now, this series is written by
- 0:55me. See yuto Suzuki, it is still
- 0:59currently ongoing and weekly. Shonen Jump, you can read the
- 1:02chapters weekly on the shoulder job app, that's currently 66
- 1:07chapters out as of today and volume 1.
- 1:13Just released physically recently and it covers the first
- 1:16seven chapters of the So, little bit of background about Sakamoto
- 1:21days. So, Sakamoto days, follows a
- 1:26exit, man named Taro Sakamoto. He was a legend among Legends.
- 1:39Or as some refer to him as the goat.
- 1:46And ya know, nobody could touch him, he was the best of the best
- 1:50in the business until one day. Basically he has a meeting, I
- 1:57believe her name is Ayo, if I remember correctly, where she is
- 2:04a We're and so, pretty much. Yeah.
- 2:09Once he met her, he chose to give up the Hitman life and he
- 2:15settled down, married, and had a had a beautiful little girl
- 2:22named Hannah. Look at that.
- 2:24Just wholesome. And that is one thing that I
- 2:28really enjoy about the series is like, you know, of course, yes,
- 2:33it does like have really dope action panels and just cool
- 2:40scenes and some funny comedy but at the heart like it has a lot
- 2:46of heart and wholesomeness because I feel like, you know,
- 2:51we don't get too many series where For one, we don't
- 2:56especially like I'll say special, I can shown in Ram.
- 2:59We don't get too many series where, you know, not only do the
- 3:03characters have a parents but they have both parents around
- 3:09and they are supportive and stuff, you know, it's kind of
- 3:14his always hit or miss when it comes to parents and stuff, but
- 3:18but it's also nice in this turns, whereas I okay, hey, we
- 3:21have a character who's a dad. His wife and has a child
- 3:26everybody still alive. Everybody's happy.
- 3:28There's no crazy tragedy and stuff going on, and that is
- 3:33different. Something that I appreciate
- 3:35about the series, it's just because, like I said, you don't
- 3:36get to see that very often so because I can Sakamoto he's in
- 3:40his late 20s. And while, his hourly
- 3:46appearance, like, yes, you know, he has put on some Dad, wait,
- 3:49I'll call that. Because, as a dad, myself,
- 3:52father of five, I know you know not now saying that you know how
- 3:57I'm still pretty skinny but compared to you know what I was
- 4:03you know several years back whenever you know I packed
- 4:06enough you know I got my little dab barely going on but it is
- 4:12like I said you're just fine just just getting to read this
- 4:15series because You know, at the core of it, you know, Sakamoto
- 4:21he's settled out, he's lived a life.
- 4:23And he basically runs a convenience store called
- 4:26sakamoto's. But one day somebody from his
- 4:31past Shin the guy you see in the cover behind him, comes
- 4:36basically long story short baskets to situations where it's
- 4:39like. Okay.
- 4:39Hey you left the organization, you know.
- 4:42People don't get to just walk away so we got to deal with you
- 4:46and so that's I know how things start to kind of snowball and
- 4:53ham start to slowly like get back involved in that world but
- 4:59he does it in a way to where, you know, for the most part he's
- 5:02mostly non-lethal though. He has some some thoughts
- 5:07because Shin is Clairvoyant, so he can read people's minds.
- 5:12And so, a lot of times if she has in the area Sakamoto role,
- 5:17think of Of brutally killing somebody.
- 5:20But then you like, you, like, look down the page and you just
- 5:23see. Oh, it's just a thought bubble,
- 5:25you know, from from sakamoto's head to where he was thinking
- 5:29about doing this. He didn't like prime example.
- 5:33This guy came in Sakamoto know, I was thinking about taking them
- 5:36out, but as you see, it is, just thought bubbles.
- 5:40So stuff like that, just just funny happens throughout.
- 5:44And honestly, in a way, because I've heard this know, Comparison
- 5:49brought up about of sometimes a few times here and there over
- 5:51the years. But like Sakamoto is, is
- 5:56honestly kind of like John Wick in a way to where he can use
- 6:01anything and everything to take you out.
- 6:04Like there was one scene where somebody try to try to get the
- 6:08jump on him and no shoot a bullet at him more than ever.
- 6:12He had a cough drop in his mouth.
- 6:14He spit the cough drop out and to deflect a bullet.
- 6:20And yeah it's just, you know, he's rocking the apron got on
- 6:26his dad, his comfy dad slides. And but hey, don't don't let the
- 6:31looks fool you cuz some Maca Sakamoto will go above and
- 6:36beyond to take care of the people that he loves.
- 6:41And it is always funny because anytime like there's a hint that
- 6:46maybe he is, Something crazy. Again, his wife is a, hey, don't
- 6:51forget, the family Rules, which if any roses, hey, no more
- 6:54killing or she will divorce him that, that is one of many family
- 6:58Rules, but it is hard Sakamoto is full of love and so much
- 7:06style to we're basically. And this is kind of like a, like
- 7:09a funny kind of like ongoing gag as far as like, you know, and
- 7:15this isn't with every character but you No here in cancer
- 7:19character. A phone or whatever, beat their
- 7:22butts, then give him a job at the convenience store and I hey
- 7:26one day, he's whipping your butt and next day he got you bagging
- 7:29groceries for hey and you're getting paid you know and
- 7:34everything like that and you better become part of the family
- 7:37and so yeah that that is the Crux of this series.
- 7:43It is a former hit man just tried to live His wholesome,
- 7:49dad, husband life. Run his little convenience store
- 7:53and every time Trouble Comes Around.
- 7:54He handles it. And just goes back to doing what
- 7:59they do. And yeah, that that is like like
- 8:03the basic board down version I can give for Sakamoto, even to
- 8:08this day. Like I said, we're 66 chapters
- 8:10in now on the current run and it is something that I still enjoy,
- 8:16I still enjoy seeing The ever-expanding cast of
- 8:20characters, there's no recurring characters and stuff.
- 8:22There's always people that come back in, from his past Hitman
- 8:26day, to be like, yo, who are you, what is going on and stuff?
- 8:32They kind of helps to fill in more background for Sakamoto and
- 8:36for these other characters that, that surround him.
- 8:41And yeah, so Sakamoto days is definitely one to check out.
- 8:47Not to read like I said, go go pick up, volume 1, it is out now
- 8:55I believe let me see real quick. So we have dates for this Evol.
- 9:02Um 2 is coming out in June and volume. 3 is listed for August,
- 9:07so hopefully we might get these pretty quickly because lately
- 9:12Shonen Jump has been pretty good at or various has been pretty
