Taro Sakamoto must of taken a super soldier serum back in his younger days.

Sakamoto can do this all day.

I guess his first victim was the laws of physics.

[viridian5]

Yeah, he straight up murdered them.

I love this manga so much. Right up there with Way of the Househusband for “retired criminal enjoys domesticity” vibes.

I only got the first volume on a whim. I had never even heard of it before. I will definitely be continuing with the series.

Well worth it. It gets a little more violent in some parts, but it also retains a very wholesome core, and the cast slowly expands.

Now this is a fantastic series made up of countless badass moments. One of my favorites remains Sakamoto spitting out a piece of gum and deflecting a bullet with it. So ridiculous but I loooove it.
