Sakamoto Days, Vol. 1 by Yuto Suzuki
5.0

Sakamoto used to be a big time hit man. Took people out 1, 2, 3. Easy peasy.

But he met a woman named Aoi and fell in love and then had a kid, retired, and opened up his own grocery store. Everything was working out till Shin, his old partner, found him and told him he had to kill him. But Shin remembers too fondly of his old friend and soon Shin is working at the store. Everything is peaceful once more...till new assassin's come into town.

This series is over the top, but funny as hell, and excellent art. Some of the fight scenes are SO good here you could have told me this was straight up action and not a comedy/parody manga and I'd believe you. Fast paced, great character, excellent fight scenes, funny moments. This is the whole package.

A 5 out of 5.
