I actually really liked the slice of life aspect of this manga. That, packed with the stellar action sequences and amazing, quirky characters, made this manga super enjoyable and a pretty quick read too! My one qualm is that it ends in a cliffhanger… which is odd because it’s supposed to be slice of life, right? Idk, that was just bothersome for me

After a couple years of consuming content about this series through my timelines I finally started reading it and I reallyyyy should've started sooner cause that was great!!, but I wanted to wait until I had the physical volumes.

I knew this was good but it was a lot more fun than I expected! I thought it would be heavy on combat scenes but there's also just the right amount of funny and wholesome scenes to balance it out.

This first volume introduces the main character, Sakamoto, his family and the reason why he decided to retire from his assassin life, along with two additional characters that seem to be part of the main cast. I really like Shin so far, he's super fun and cute and a bit of a loser and if you know me, that's just my type. I've seen online that Lu doesn't show up much as the series progresses and that would be a bummer cause she's really fun, but I'll see how it goes in the next volumes.

Also the character I've loved for ages from fanart, Nagumo, shows up in this volume for a bit which caught me by surprise cause I thought he'd be introduced much later, so that was great. I can't wait to really get to know him.

This was a great volume for setting up the baseline of the story and setting, and it definitely lived up to my expectations. The way the volume ends also builds up hype for the next one so I'm definitely reading it very soon to find out what happens next!!

Sakamoto Days is a great read if you're looking for an action series packed with great art, lovable characters, fun moments and themes such as found family!

While I know this is the first volume in a manga series and they tend to be slow and build up as the series progresses, it still has the job of hooking readers into continuing to read and this just wasn’t it for me. There wasn’t anything that really stood out to me and made me want to read more so I guess this is as far as I go in this series
