While I can see this getting old quickly for myself, there’s some charm here. The found family vibes are heavy; Sakamoto collects dangerous hitmen like candies. He’s fighting to protect his relatively mundane life and each character who adds to it is wholesome. The action scenes are relatively good. You can always understand what’s happening.

I'll read volume two. ( )

This is an interesting read. There are parts that really annoy me like the fat phobia, but other parts are just so interesting you must keep turning the pages. From the first few pages with all the guns you would think this would be ultra-violent, but since Sakamoto’s wife hates killing, no one dies, but justice is served. Sakamoto is a retired assassin who takes on new challenges and new charges. This book is very much a mix of John Wick and Mr. Bean. It’s wacky, deadly, but has a lot of heart and one really roots for Sakamoto, his wife and his found family. ( )

At this point, is every other manga and graphic novel about assassins?

Here's a humorous spin where the once ruthless killer has retired to run a convenience store and become an obese family man. Of course, his past keeps catching up to him but he faces it adroitly despite his weight and a no-kill code imposed by his wife. He even acts as a vigilante, protecting the peace of the community that his very presence keeps disrupting.

I didn't plan it, but this tale of a doting husband and father made for a good Father's Day read. I do wish the humor was a little less Looney Tunes, obeying some laws of physics and biology, but I still had a fun time and am looking forward to future volumes. ( )

Before reading: I have a soft spot for (ex-) assassins. There is a reason why I keep watching movies with Jason Statham, Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li, etcetera....

After reading: it's a fun read!
