Several months after the conclusion of Jujutsu Kaisen by Gege Akutami, another iconic manga from Weekly Shōnen Jump is set to end soon. Here’s what you need to know!
A New Chapter Closes
The impact of Weekly Shonen Jump on the manga industry cannot be overstated. From Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball to Eiichirō Oda’s One Piece, and including Masashi Kishimoto’s Naruto, Takehiko Inoue’s Slam Dunk, Masami Kurumada’s Saint Seiya, Tsukasa Hōjō’s City Hunter, Buronson and Tetsuo Hara’s Hokuto no Ken, Yoshihiro Togashi’s Hunter x Hunter, and Hirohiko Araki’s JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, the magazine has introduced countless generational masterpieces.
Despite fierce competition, Jump continues to lead in the shōnen genre. Titles like Koyoharu Gotōge’s Demon Slayer, Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen, and Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Chainsaw Man are not just hits but phenomena, with their anime adaptations receiving enthusiastic responses from audiences and critics alike. Today, it has been revealed that just months after the (somewhat lackluster) conclusion of Jujutsu Kaisen, another beloved series is approaching its finale: Sakamoto Days by Yūto Suzuki.
The Story Behind Sakamoto Days
Sakamoto Days tells the story of a legendary hitman who has left behind his former life to marry the woman he instantly fell in love with. The series has captivated readers with its blend of humor and action. Manga artist Yūto Suzuki has demonstrated exceptional skill in choreographing fight scenes, making full use of his settings. The popularity of the manga has also led to an animated series produced by TMS Entertainment, with the first season recently resuming its exclusive run on Netflix after several months off the air.
Recently, Weekly Shonen Jump announced that Sakamoto Days will enter its “final battle” starting next week. While it’s uncertain how many chapters this concluding arc will encompass, fans must now prepare to bid farewell to Taro Sakamoto, Shin Asakura, and Lu Xiaotang. (It’s unlikely that the final arc of Sakamoto Days will be as lengthy as that of One Piece…) What are your thoughts on this announcement?
