The premiere of the Sakamoto Days anime has resulted in a staggering 400% increase in manga sales, according to publisher Shueisha. The action-comedy about a retired hitman has become the breakout hit of the season.
Creator Yuto Suzuki’s dynamic art style translates beautifully to animation, with TMS Entertainment delivering fluid action sequences that have gone viral on social media.
Bookstores across Japan and North America have reported selling out of Sakamoto Days volumes, with emergency reprints ordered to meet demand.
The anime is currently streaming on multiple platforms and has been renewed for a second season before the first has even finished airing.
