Get ready for Sakamoto Days: The anime and its mobile game are coming soon! A highly anticipated anime adaptation of the cult-hit manga, Sakamoto Days, is hitting Netflix, and simultaneously launching its own mobile game, Sakamoto Days Dangerous Puzzle (as reported by Crunchyroll).

This isn't your average mobile game. Sakamoto Days Dangerous Puzzle blends match-three puzzle gameplay with character collection, battling, and even storefront simulation—a unique twist perfectly aligning with the series' plot.

For those unfamiliar, Sakamoto Days follows Sakamoto, a retired assassin who traded his life of crime for a peaceful existence running a convenience store. However, his past catches up, and alongside his partner Shin, he proves his skills haven't dulled.
