Good News for SAKAMOTO DAYS Fans: New Visuals and Audio Dramas Every Month!
Yuto Suzuki's manga SAKAMOTO DAYS, which has been taking the world by storm, continues to increase its influence in the anime world. The production team has announced the launch of a new monthly project called "Seasonal Visuals." As part of this exciting initiative, special illustrations featuring the series' beloved characters in seasonal themes, accompanied by short audio dramas, will be presented to fans every month. The project kicked off with the series' legendary duo, Taro Sakamoto and Nagumo.
Since it began in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 2020, SAKAMOTO DAYS has been considered one of the most unique examples of the modern shonen genre. The series, which follows the legendary assassin Taro Sakamoto as he retires, gets married, and starts running a convenience store, only to be forced back into the chaos of the assassination world to protect his family and peaceful life, masterfully blends action and comedy. With over 15 million copies in circulation worldwide as of 2025, the manga has doubled its popularity with the anime adaptation brought to life by TMS Entertainment.
The production quality of the anime stands out, especially with the fluidity of its fight choreographies. The team, led by director Masaki Watanabe and screenwriter Taku Kishimoto, brings the characters to life with a voice cast consisting of giants such as Tomokazu Sugita (Sakamoto) and Natsuki Hanae (Nagumo). The newly launched audio drama project will allow us to explore not just the characters' combat scenes, but also their daily interactions and depth. Such side content offers delightful details that provide fans with a breather amidst the intense pace of the main story.
So, why did this project start now? As you may recall, after the first season was released in two parts in 2025, the arrival of a second season was officially confirmed at the last Jump Festa event. The "Seasonal Visuals" project is seen as a strategic step to keep the community active and strengthen the bond between characters ahead of the new season. These contents, which will be released at the beginning of each month, will allow us to see the SAKAMOTO DAYS universe from a broader perspective. Fans can access the new visuals and audio dramas through the anime's official website and social media accounts.
