The ‘I Should Have Read That Book’ Tag


For some reason, my picks for this tag ended up being mostly throwbacks 😅 Which is appropriate because this tag is also quite old. Lol. Anyway, it was fun! I found this tag at a GREAT read, and it was created by Beth at BooksNest.

Synopsis: Taro Sakamoto was once a legendary hit man considered the greatest of all time. Bad guys feared him! Assassins revered him! But then one day he quit, got married, and had a baby. He’s now living the quiet life as the owner of a neighborhood store, but how long can Sakamoto enjoy his days of retirement before his past catches up to him?!

The situation is fraught during the casino battle between Sakamoto’s staff and the Chinese triad. Can they protect Lu and get info on the bounty?! To make matters worse, the very worst assassins from overseas are gunning for Sakamoto!

My rating: ★★★★☆

In the last volume, we saw the arrival of Wutang, who worked for the Triad and came to take Lu back. Thus ensued some fun shenanigans that would determine Lu's fate. Spoiler alert:
