The acclaimed action-comedy manga Sakamoto Days is officially approaching its grand finale in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. Written and illustrated by Yuto Suzuki, the series follows the trend of a new generation of titles concluding their stories rhythmically, without dragging on for decades like classics of the past.
The Narrative Climax of Sakamoto Days
Since the series entered its final battle arc in August 2025, readers had already been speculating that the conclusion was near. Recent reports indicate that the final chapters will be published in the coming weeks, although Shueisha has not yet confirmed the exact date for the series finale. The story currently focuses on the dark confrontation against Kei Uzuki, whose plan has plunged society into chaos and forced Taro Sakamoto out of his peaceful retirement.
With the series saying goodbye, Shonen Jump magazine is already planning new moves to fill the void left by Sakamoto. Among behind-the-scenes speculation, rumors indicate a possible return for Bleach with the highly anticipated Hell arc, as well as the resumption of Hunter x Hunter's serialization to continue the Succession Contest arc, ensuring the magazine's catalog remains robust after the end of the retired assassin's adventures.
