In the previous Sakamoto Days chapter, Shin pretends to be the fortune teller to hide his identity from Tenkyu, who is going after Sakamoto and his allies. Through this ruse, Shin intends to manipulate Tenkyu for his own ends.

Day 188 is titled “Here and Now”

This chapter has 19 pages

An announcement says: “Super Hayami is on the final stretch with an incredible burst of speed, pulling ahead by 5 lengths in second place…now crossing the finish line”

We finally return to our main protagonist Taro Sakamoto as he is training with Torres and it is shown that Sakamoto is losing to Torres for the 5th time.

It has been 9 chapters since Sakamoto last appeared.

Torres explains that even after being alone as an assassin for over 50 years, he still cannot win against Sakamoto.

Torres’ plan was to have Sakamoto kill more people to raise his bounty and that once the bounty was high enough, Torres would swoop in to kill Sakamoto and claim the money to pay off hi debts.

While Sakamoto has lost to Torres, Sakamoto still pursues him, even into the pachinko parlor.

Sakamoto asks Torres what he needs to do to beat him but Torres does not provide an answer but Sakamoto suggests that if Torres wants to have Sakamoto’s bounty increased, the former should do it himself.

Tired of fighting without weapons, Torres leads Sakamoto around the city and points to a fat man with an “annoying face”, asking Sakamoto to kill him to raise his bounty.

Suddenly, Aoi appears and invites Torres over to the Sakamoto household, much to Sakamoto’s shock

Torres is shocked to be invited over to someone’s house with delicious homemade food and asks Sakamoto why he is inviting an enemy into his home.

Sakamoto says that Torres does not kill if there is no money in it.

Suddenly, Hana comes over with a paper and asks Torres to make a paper plane.

Torres bluntly says that Hana cannot make an actual plane out of paper but “aluminum alloy, stainless steel, titanium, plastic…and without wings, it can’t generate lift!”

The girl is confused by this lecture in basic aerospace engineering but Aoi tells her daughter not to bother Torres, who is surprised by how Aoi is able to boil soup, make gyoza, use a knife, and other cooking tasks at the same time while making sure all her movements are refined.

Sakamoto married someone who defies the logic of an assassin, who normally uses only one weapon and masters it the rest of their lives.

Aoi has defied the Bruce Lee quote.

Torres is also surprised by how Hana made a paper airplane (which is so much easier to believe than Aoi’s crazy level of multitasking)

Noticing the older man’s interest in the paper plane, Hana gives the paper plane while Torres remarks that the kid did not need to practice regularly to reach this point and so calls her a genius.

Sakamoto tells Torres and Hana to “put away their toys” as dinner is ready while showing off the same skill as Aoi, which also surprises Torres.

After finishing dinner, Torres pesters Sakamoto about his multitasking skill, which confuses Sakamoto.

Meanwhile back in the prison, Tenkyu asks how Shin is able to do fortune telling

Nervous, Heisuke tries to throw a rock to replicate a misfortune and it actually worked. 

Tenkyu does consider the idea of not killing to be worth it because the argument he had with a friend was on whether or not to kill someone.

As it turns out, this argument was between himself and Kei Uzuki regarding Tenkyu’s suggestion to use Sakamoto’s family as bait, which made Uzuki mad.

But hearing this story makes Shin extremely mad and so he punches Tenkyu, already breaking the facade.

Heisuke holds Shin back as Tenkyu rises unscathed by the attack.

Shin intends to kill Tenkyu, which would break the Sakamoto Family rules but this is his way of preventing the family from being harmed by a nutjob.

Editor’s Note: “An intent to kill without malice. Shin faces Tenkyu—!!”

Sakamoto Days Chapter 189 will be released on November 10, 2024.
