It was the worst-kept secret in anime for almost a week, but we finally have confirmation that Sakamoto Days is getting an anime adaptation. It was definitely coming sooner or later – the manga has been one of the top-selling manga in the world for several years running. Now we’re just waiting to find out when the Sakamoto Days anime will be released and if it will be streaming on Netflix.
The Sakamoto Days anime will be released in two parts, with the first part launching January 11, 2025 on Netflix. A new episode will air each week on the streamer. The second part of the anime will be released in July 2025. Previously, the announcement of the project capped off a week of intense speculation from fans after a Sakamoto Days adaptation was listed in a trade magazine under Netflix, but it got quietly removed after eager fans spotted it. It wasn't until a few months later that Netflix finally confirmed that yes, they would be streaming the Sakamoto Days anime when it airs, giving it a big show to kick off 2025 with. Considering how packed 2025 is already going to be for the streamer, we're excited to see how well this anime does at capturing the audience it definitely deserves.
Sakamoto Days is a comedy manga by Yuto Suzuki that follows Tara Sakamoto, a retired hitman who is drawn out of hiding when his family is threatened. While all his skills are still intact, he’s gotten a bit comfortable in his family life over the years. The tone is very close to Spy x Family, so fans of that show will be right at home here.
Season 1, part 1 of Sakamoto Days will release on January 11, 2025 on Netflix.
