Sakamoto Days: Plot
With the second season, the anime is supposed to shift the story to the Japan Clear Creation academy, which is a strict school that trains future hitmen. This is where Sakamoto and several well-known characters learnt their crafts. As events unfold, Sakamoto is compelled to return to a place tied to his past, not as a student but as a man protecting others. The setting brings him face to face with old rules, rival talents, and memories he tried to leave behind. Shin continues to support him with his unique abilities, while members of the Order appear with their own goals.

Threats emerge that challenge the fragile peace Sakamoto has built for his family. Each encounter pushes him to balance restraint with action, showing that skill alone is not enough. Choices made at the academy ripple outward, shaping loyalties and consequences that follow the characters beyond its walls. The focus remains on responsibility, growth, and the cost of violence, never losing the warmth found in Sakamoto’s home life as the story moves forward with steady emotional weight.
Sakamoto Days: Cast and crew
The anime is produced by TMS Entertainment and directed by Masaki Watanabe, who returns from the first season.

Beyond animation, a live-action film is planned for April 29, 2026, featuring Ren Meguro as Sakamoto and Fumiya Takahashi as Shin. This expansion shows confidence in the story and its characters for years ahead.
