To commemorate the release of the latest 18th volume of the manga "SAKAMOTO DAYS" on the 2nd, the live-action movie "SAKAMOTO DAYS ONE DAY" has been released on the official Jump YouTube channel, "Jump Channel."

Set in an alternate world of "Sakamoto Store," the stylishly filmed movie depicts a fierce battle between a trainee store clerk and a sudden appearance of an assassin.

Playing the role of the store clerk is Saori Izawa, a highly regarded female stunt performer known for her work in movies such as "Kingdom" (2019), "Rurouni Kenshin: The Final / The Beginning" (2021), and the Hollywood blockbuster "John Wick: Chapter 4" (2023). Izawa is recognized internationally for her stunt performances.

Izawa, who co-starred with Akari Takaishi in the "Baby Assassins" series (2021, 2023), is one of Japan's leading young action actors and stunt performers. This film showcases her impressive action skills.

The manga, serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" since November 2020, follows Taro Sakamoto, a former legendary hitman, who fights against incoming assassins to protect his peaceful daily life with his beloved family and friends. The manga has surpassed 5.5 million copies in circulation.

Comment from Lead Actress Saori Izawa:

"Congratulations on the release of the 18th volume! Filming while wearing the green staff apron of Sakamoto Store and performing action scenes in a convenience store was incredibly fun. I felt like I was working part-time at Sakamoto Store for a day, aspiring to be as cool as Mr. Sakamoto in utilizing the things around him. I hope everyone enjoys the subtle thrill of the extraordinary hidden within everyday life. As a fan, I am also looking forward to the TV anime airing in January next year!"
