The legendary former hitman Tarou Sakamoto has thwarted numerous assassins after an enormous bounty on his head was issued. But he cannot seem to catch a break and simply take it easy with his beloved family. A mysterious and infamous figure known as Slur has brought a group of insane death row inmates to Japan, who hold back from nothing to eliminate their targets. Sakamoto is not the only target—the criminals have been assigned to kill various other people, including the new hires at Sakamoto's convenience store, Shin Asakura and Lu Shaotang. The situation escalates even further when the Order, a group of the most skilled Japanese assassins, becomes involved. As the inmates begin wreaking havoc, Sakamoto and his allies must remain vigilant for the sake of everything they hold dear.

The verdict
SequelsWorth a lookSummer 2025Painful given how lovable the manga is, but this is B tier and not near the top. It is still a good story with great characters and solid sound and music, a winning 'John Wick x family' premise. The animation lacks the wow of Yuto Suzuki's dynamic paneling, and may not sell the serious turns coming this season. Netflix exposure could still make it pop off.
