Both share a similar premise of spies trying to blend in, and they have similar comedy.  

Funny stories about hit men trying to adjust themselves/hiding their identities while battling not only enemies but also everyday emergencies. 

comedy and action plot, each character has their own little quirk/power and there's a slice of life feel to both of them 

If you enjoy Spy x Family I really think you would enjoy Sakamoto Days. In Sakamoto Days you follow Taro Sakamoto a renowned assassin and the best in his field. But all of this changes ones he falls head over heels for his wife, retires from his profession and runs a convenience store with her. But as these things tend to go, 10 years later his skill and expertise are once again needed, and he is pushed back into the criminal world against his will. Despite that he does not break his promise to his wife, which was one of their many marriage rules :" Do not kill.” Throughout the entire adventure, little by little you learn about Sakamotos past life as a famous ex-assassin. It is a hilarious and adventures story, that gets more and more serious and suspenseful/ exciting as time goes on, but never loses its light-hearted and funny charm! Just like Spy x Familiy the manga has many fun interesting characters, plot lines and scenes. It is just a wonderful read and makes me always look forward for the next chapter. I would highly recommend this manga to anyone! Especially if you're in a reading/manga slump. It starts out fun and similar to a slice of life following a retired assassin in the first few chapters, but definitely becomes more intriguing and suspenseful as time goes on!  read more 

Spy x Family and Sakamoto Days are two popular manga that share several intriguing similarities, making both of them highly engaging reads. First, both manga excel in their unique genre combinations. Spy x Family masterfully blends action, comedy, and slice-of-life elements within the family sphere, while Sakamoto Days focused on action and comedy. Both manga deliver thrilling yet entertaining stories with a brilliant touch of humor. Second, the protagonists in both manga have fascinating and unusual backgrounds. Loid Forger from Spy x Family is a spy who must disguise himself as the father of a fake family, whereas Sakamoto Taro from Sakamoto Days is a former hitman now living as a peaceful convenience store owner. Both characters strive to hide their violent pasts while leading more normal and peaceful lives. Furthermore, the character relationships in both manga add to the story's appeal. In Spy x Family, the dynamic between Loid, Yor (his wife who is actually an assassin), and Anya (their adopted daughter with mind-reading ability) provides constant emotional depth and humor. In Sakamoto Days, the interactions between Sakamoto, his co-worker Shin (a telepath), and other characters around them create delightful and entertaining interactions. read more 

Both focus on comedy. With some action. Both focus on family,spy and assassin. For those who like this kind of comedy with bit of action they are good works.  

Both have a very interesting and funny family dynamic with characters trying to hide their identity. In sakamoto days that element is played down a bit but both have a fantastic balance of action and comedy. I feel like if you like one chances are you're also gonna like the other 

Both centered around family and fighting. The comedy is similar, and the action involves most of the same things (gunfights, assassins, etc.). Both also involve a character who can read minds. While Spy x Family tends to get a little deeper, Sakomoto Days is a lighter read. 

Both revolve around ex-criminals trying to enjoy the simple life with hilarious results. 

Slice of life comedies about a man who used to be a killer, but married and settled down and now lives the life of an ordinary human being. OF course, his past always comes back to haunt him but he has no intention of returning to his past life. 

Gangsters! Hitmen! Chores! Gokushufudou (The Way of the House Husband) and Sakamoto Days are incredibly similar in the face that they feature men who've left their old lives of crime behind for people they love, only to have the past bubble up from time to time. Incredible artwork is contained within both Action/SoL/Comedy stories that will bring to life the shenanigan's that Tatsu and Taro get into! 

Its same level of comedy  

Main character are a gangster after they are attracted in house chores and woman's work. They have a wonderful wife and they are popular in their neighborhood 

Both of these series follow men who made their money on murder now living pretty ordinary lives. They have pretty like senses of humor. The big difference is that Gokushufudou is a bit on the silly side, not taking itself very seriously; while Sakamoto Days is still very humorous, it has a lot more serious moments and imagery. Sakamoto Days is also not "episodic" like Gokushufudou is. 

Both stories about former killers who have settled into a peaceful regular life. Both show the main character encountering pieces of their past here and there, but they refuse to go back. Both have similar comedy, some action, and are generally enjoyable and lighthearted. 

Both are stories with hitmen who, for some reason or another, had to give up their hitman life or at least have a "no-killing" policy set up on them, but unfortunately for them, they get in all sorts of troubles involving other people who want to harm them or the friends they made along the way.  

These manga are about semi-retired hitmen, both of which are considered the best of the best, on top of this both manga lean very heavy into their comedy tags and love to make fun of the fact that the main character is a serial murder machine with a very unusual and unexpected day job  

*other way around* since MaL's outdated website coding always detects the incorrect work to be recommended Funnily enough both MCs are considered as the greatest hitmen ever in their environment. "The Fable" needs way more recognition so please go read it. One of the very few mangas with 10/10 characters (Yamaoka is such an incredible villain) and the manga portrays the new-age Yakuza very realistically, since it's not necessarily the typical unrealistic assumptions that videogames, films and other works have regarding the Yakuza.  

Both of the mangas explore the lives of retired hitmen, whose line of work won't let them retire in peace and drag them back to the lives that they had forsaken.  

Both MCs are known as the greatest hitmen in their own respective story, They also have something in common that they have this "No kill policy'" handicap. Both are hilarious at times,The Fable needs more audience! It also shows how the yakuza operate on the modern world.  

Its about a strong character who now lives a peaceful life with 2 other characters. Its similar to Gintama as it is also a trio. 2 Guys and 1 Girls Its an action comedy manga 

They have a similar main cast. There are also some moments that you can laugh at. It is more action heavy, but Lu, the female character in the cast, almost 1 to 1 looks like Kagura.  

A few of the character designs and art style in sakamoto days seems nearly identical to that of chainsaw man. Main characters in both affiliate(d) with organizations. Both have similar settings with chaos/destruction in densely populated areas and gory/brutal fights. Both include groups of assassins with unique weapons/characteristics.  

There both awesome, action packed Shonen manga's 

Youchien Wars is like Sakamoto Days a Action, Comedy Manga about retired assassins. It is more centered on the Comedy while Sakamoto Days focuses more on the fights and the story.  

-The MC looks simple but powerful -Impresive combat design -Good side characters development
