Synopsis of Sakamoto Days

Tarou Sakamoto was considered the greatest hitman of all time. Feared by many, he was at the top of the underground world until he met and fell in love with a woman. As a result, Sakamoto gave up his life of crime and now works as a shop assistant. Leaving his murky past behind is more difficult than Sakamoto first imagined. Many of his former rivals and partners don't believe he has actually left the business and appear hoping to kill it. With the ban on killing, Sakamoto must find creative ways to subdue his enemies and prevent them from harming his family, his shop, and the small town he resides in.
