Sakamoto Days Graces the Cover of Men’s Non-no Magazine: Special Gifts Await Fans
Sakamoto Days, written by Yuto Suzuki and highly acclaimed for its action-packed scenes, will grace the cover of the special May issue of Men's Non-no, one of Japan's leading fashion magazines. This special issue, which will hit shelves on April 9, draws attention not only with its cover art but also with the special promotional items it offers to readers. Included with the magazine will be an acrylic stand and a sticker set featuring illustrations drawn personally by Suzuki, specifically for the series' fans.
Starting its journey in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2020, Sakamoto Days tells the story of Taro Sakamoto, a retired assassin. After falling in love, Sakamoto quit being an assassin, got married, and started running a convenience store; despite the weight he has gained, he has never lost his former skills. The series has become one of the most successful examples of the modern Shonen genre, reaching over 5 million copies sold worldwide. Yuto Suzuki's dynamic drawing style and narrative that blends humor with action have turned the series into a phenomenon in a short time.
This collaboration shows that the series' popularity is not limited to the manga world but has also found a place in general culture and fashion. As is known, Sakamoto Days fans have long been waiting for an anime adaptation. With official announcements, it has been confirmed that the anime adaptation of the series, produced by TMS Entertainment, will be released in January 2025. Such magazine covers and special promotions are generally considered a strategic step to increase the visibility of the series ahead of major anime releases.
This special issue of Men's Non-no magazine offers an unmissable opportunity for collectors. The illustrations, especially those featuring Taro Sakamoto and his assistant Shin, highlight the aesthetic side of the series. The series, which reinforces its success in the manga world day by day, is preparing to reach much wider audiences with its anime release in 2025. Fans are already excited for the new promotional videos and visuals that will follow this magazine collaboration in April.
