After the recent Obon break stretched the tension following Chapter 271’s cliffhanger, Sakamoto Days Chapter 272 is finally just around the corner.
Chapter 271 left the Order reeling as Kei Uzuki took full command of his combined personas, wielding Prime Sakamoto’s improvised combat alongside Akao’s deadly path-reading abilities. With Nagumo and the remaining founders realizing that taking on Uzuki individually is suicide, the series returns to answer how the Order plans to survive an apparently unbeatable threat.
When Does Sakamoto Days Chapter 272 Come Out?
Sakamoto Days chapter 272 releases worldwide on Sunday, August 23, in the US, which lands as Monday, August 24 in Japan.
That keeps the series on its usual Weekly Shonen Jump slot, with the chapter dropping simultaneously on the Shonen Jump app, VIZ Media’s official site, and Shueisha’s MANGA Plus.

With the series reportedly closing in on its final arc, chapter 272 carries extra weight. Reports around chapter 271 suggested only a handful of chapters remain, possibly wrapping the story by mid September, which makes every beat of this Uzuki confrontation feel like it could be the turning point the entire series has been building toward.
Whether Order manages to counter Uzuki’s adaptability or Sakamoto himself has to step back into the fight is the question chapter 272 needs to answer.
