It is published simultaneously in English by Viz Media and the online platform Manga Plus.

MAL describes the manga's plot as:

Tarou Sakamoto was considered the greatest assassin of all time. Feared by many, he was at the top of the underworld until he met and fell in love with a woman. As a result, Sakamoto abandoned his life of crime and now works as a convenience store clerk.

Leaving his dark past behind is more difficult than Sakamoto initially imagined. Many of his former rivals and associates don't believe he's truly abandoned the business and appear hoping to eliminate him. Barred from killing, Sakamoto must find creative ways to subdue his enemies and prevent them from harming his family, his shop, and the small town where he lives.
