Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon: October 2026

👀 I know I keep disappearing; I apologize 😅 I really have no excuse... it's just that I haven't been able to shake the slump off quite all the way. But it's fine because I decided super last minute to do the readathon 😆 I was going to post this this morning, but we had no power sooo 🤷‍♀️😂 Anyway, this readathon started today at 5am (for me), and ends tomorrow, on Sunday, at 5 am. I woke up really late this morning, at like 8am (I'm sick, so I allowed myself to sleep lol), so I didn't start reading till like 9am. But we're here! Lol. (You can find more info on the readathon HERE and on their IG HERE.)

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?!

In order to avoid expulsion from the JCC, a young Sakamoto, Nagumo, and Akao are assigned a special mission—along with another outcast, Uzuki. The assassins close in on their target at a special department store for hit men, but unbeknownst to them, their actions there will alter the course of their futures forever…

My rating: ★★★★⯪

This was a bit of a flashback volume, going back to when Sakamoto was in school with Uzuki aka X, and Nagumo, among others. I really enjoyed following Sakamoto in his younger days and learning more about his past and his connections to all these characters we’ve come across throughout the series.
