Originally a ruthless assassin, notorious in the criminal underworld, Taro Sakamoto transformed his life upon discovering love. Now, he works quietly at a convenience store, yearning for a tranquil existence away from attention. Yet, his past adversaries persistently pursue him, unwilling to acknowledge his retirement. With his killing days behind him, Sakamoto now relies on his intelligence, resourcefulness, and non-violent strategies to shield his peaceful life, protect his family, and uphold the safety of his community.

The fourth storyline in the series, dubbed the JCC Transfer Exam arc, spans chapters 55 to 72, or approximately three volumes. At this point, Sakamoto and Shin are unaware of Slur, a secretive organization that has been pursuing top-tier assassins including them. To gather intel, they disguise themselves as students applying for admission to JCC. This critical juncture in the series introduces new revelations about Slur. Packed with thrilling combat sequences and unexpected plot turns, the captivating JCC Transfer Exam serves as a compelling conclusion to the season, leaving fans on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating a potential third season.

In this new arc, unlike the previous ones that featured a blend of everyday life and action, the JCC Transfer Exam arc signifies a shift towards more emphasis on plot progression and action. Although daily life scenes will continue to be present, they’ll play a lesser role compared to the main storyline. For fans who particularly enjoyed the series for its unique slice-of-life elements in Shonen Jump, this change might initially feel like a departure. However, the engaging fights and intriguing plot twists should compensate, as Sakamoto Days promises an exciting sequence of high-quality content ahead.
