Six years after it began, Sakamoto Days has just fought its biggest battle. The Sakamoto-Uzuki showdown that the story built toward for more than a year is over, and the ex-hitman walked away with his family intact. A series that has run on one question, whether Sakamoto can stay retired, now has very few places left to go.
So is the manga finished? Not yet, and there’s no official final chapter date as of writing, with Chapter 283 arriving on Sunday, November 15. However, the end has been signaled for a while, with the series having entered its final arc in July 2025. Now, after the end of the Sakamoto-Uzuki showdown, it could end in the next few chapters.
Chapters 281 and 282 settled the main conflict. Sakamoto won, spared Uzuki and sent him to Granny Miya for treatment, and the family headed home. Chapter 282’s editor’s note then teased something unexpected at the Sakamoto Store, which points to a shift back to everyday life and an epilogue.
The loose ends are few: the JAA’s reaction to Uzuki surviving, Nagumo’s fate, and the new baby that Sakamoto’s family has on the way.
The volume count backs this up. Recent volumes run about ten chapters. Volume 28 covers Chapters 246 to 255, and Volume 30 covers Chapters 266 to 275 and is due January 4, 2027. A ten-chapter Volume 31 would run from 276 to 285, which is three chapters after 282.
A final volume can run longer or shorter than ten chapters, so three chapters is a reasoned estimate, not a confirmed schedule. For print readers, 29 volumes have been released as of November 4, 2026, so two more are still to come.
Sakamoto Days Season 2 Release Date: Where the Anime Stands
Sakamoato Days anime is on a separate track and isn’t affected by the manga’s ending. Season 2 will premiere on Netflix in January 2027, and no exact date has been announced yet. Daisuke Nakajima takes over as director, with first-season director Masaki Watanabe as supervising director.
The season picks up at a much earlier point in the story. Sakamoto and Shin infiltrate JCC, Japan’s assassin training institution, to find out more about X. That means the anime is still several arcs behind the Uzuki fight, so you can watch it without being spoiled on the manga’s finale.
Season 1 aired in two halves, in January and July 2025, so another split schedule is possible, but that hasn’t been announced as of writing.
