SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Shonen Jump has a wide range of manga that fall into the action genre, but the assassin-centered series Sakamoto Days is the a true hidden gem among the publication's lineup. The creator of the series, Yuto Suzuki, brings a very different perspective on how battle sequences could be narrated in a shonen manga.
The latest arc of Sakamoto Days has plunged the series into unprecedented chaos. What began as a mission to stop Kei Uzuki, also known as Slur, has spiraled into something far more complex. Enter Rion Akao, existing as a split personality within Slur, adding a whole new layer of intrigue to the mix. Now, the chairman of JAA has no choice but to call for the help of Takamura to combat the mounting threats, even if it means taking on the former Order members, Nagumo and Sakamoto.
As the battle continues, Sakamoto finds himself on the defensive, acknowledging Takamura's undeniable growth in strength since their days together in Order. Despite Sakamoto's impressive record of never losing a battle, even after retiring from his life as an assassin, the odds are stacked against him in this confrontation with Takamura. It appears increasingly likely that Sakamoto may face his first defeat.
