'SAKAMOTO DAYS' Puzzle Game Coming Soon to Japan

Author : Thomas Jan 01,2025

Get ready for the upcoming Sakamoto Days anime and its accompanying mobile game! Launching soon on Netflix, the anime adaptation of this popular series will be closely followed by Sakamoto Days: Dangerous Puzzle, a mobile game announced by Crunchyroll.

This isn't your average mobile game. Sakamoto Days: Dangerous Puzzle blends match-three gameplay with character collection, battling mechanics, and even storefront simulation, mirroring the unique plot of the anime.

The anime itself follows Sakamoto, a retired assassin who trades in his life of crime for a peaceful existence running a convenience store. However, his past catches up to him, and alongside his partner Shin, he proves that his skills remain unmatched.

This release also highlights the strong connection between Japanese anime/manga and the mobile gaming market, exemplified by successful franchises like Uma Musume that originated on smartphones.
