If you’ve been following Sakamoto Days in Weekly Shonen Jump, brace yourself: the manga is heading into its climax. Jump Issue #34 (2026) confirmed that the story is moving toward its conclusion, with the decisive showdown kicking off in Issue #35 — on stands from 26 July 2026. Here’s everything Singapore fans need to know.
The Story So Far
Created by Yuuto Suzuki, Sakamoto Days launched in Weekly Shonen Jump on 21 November 2020. It follows Taro Sakamoto, once the world’s greatest hitman, who retired to marry the love of his life and now runs a modest convenience store. Dragged back into the underworld, he fights to protect his family — while keeping his murderous past hidden from his customers.
The series passed 267 chapters and has sold over 15 million copies worldwide, making it one of Jump’s biggest ongoing titles. Now, with the final arc confirmed, the stage is set for Sakamoto to face his ultimate enemy: Slur, the mastermind whose real identity is Uzuki, a figure whose connection to Sakamoto’s past runs deeper than most readers expected.
What “Heading Toward Its Climax” Means
Jump’s editorial language here — climax — signals the final decisive arc, not a wind-down epilogue. Based on the pacing of recent chapters, industry watchers estimate the series could reach its conclusion around Chapter 270 (August 2026), though Suzuki-sensei has not confirmed an end date. Either way, the central conflict is now in full swing.
Netflix Season 2 Is Already Confirmed
Good news for anime-only fans: you won’t be waiting long. Netflix has confirmed Sakamoto Days Season 2 for January 2027, directed by Daisuke Nakajima and produced by TMS Entertainment — the same team behind Season 1. We covered the Season 2 announcement in detail when it dropped: Sakamoto Days Season 2 Confirmed for Netflix — January 2027.
