Sakamoto Days part 2 episode 7 recap

Sakamoto Days part 2 episode 7, titled Kanaguri, saw Shin form a strong connection with Mafuyu. Soon after, they were confronted by Kanguri, a famous director of hitman movies, who acted as an instructor for the tests but was more interested in making a movie. As part of the filming, he selected Akira as the protagonist.

To make the film’s setting more dramatic, he blew up the plane, causing everyone to fall from 20,000 meters. In response, the instructors made surviving the fall the second test of the JCC Entrance Exam. Fortunately, Akira’s quick thinking and stitching skills allowed her, Sakamoto, Shin, and Mafuyu to create a large parachute and soften their landing.
