Sakamoto Days Chapter 273 Recap
Chapter 273 picked up right where 272 left off, with Uzuki on the verge of taking Nagumo’s eye in retaliation for his own. Akira Akao stepped in to stop him before that happened. It marked the first time Nagumo had actually met Rion’s niece in person.
Nagumo was momentarily startled, mistaking Akira for Rion herself given how closely they resemble each other. He recalled Rion once showing him a photo of Akira, noting even then that she shared her aunt’s eyes. Uzuki, meanwhile, asked if Akira was an assassin, apparently not recognizing her since he’s been operating with Prime Sakamoto’s memories and personality.
Nagumo remembered Rion’s own assessment of her niece: despite her inexperience, Akira has the resolve to kill and could eventually surpass Rion as an assassin. That memory pushed Nagumo to commit to fighting Uzuki himself, determined to keep Akira from ever having to take a life. The chapter closed with Shin asking Sakamoto to hold on three minutes so Akira could treat his wounds.

Sakamoto Days Chapter 274 Preview
Chapter 274 picks up with Nagumo now fighting Uzuki on two fronts. On one side he is physically outmatched, but on the oter, he is driven by a promise to shield Akira from the killing he couldn’t avoid himself. How he holds up against an opponent who’s already absorbed multiple assassins’ fighting styles is the big question the chapter needs to answer.
Sakamoto’s recovery is the other thread left hanging. With Shin buying time and Akira stepping in to treat him, Chapter 274 likely shows whether Sakamoto reenters the fight in time to change its outcome.
