Shueisha’s *Weekly Shonen Jump* is releasing a new live-action movie while one of its manga series heads towards its epic conclusion. The magazine has seen a lot of shifts recently, leading to the finales of ten long-running titles this year, with several more wrapping up their stories soon. Interestingly, even as one series nears its end in print, it’s also expanding into a new medium with this film adaptation.
Yuto Suzuki’s manga, *Sakamoto Days*, is wrapping up its final story arc as it prepares for a big ending. Thanks to the popularity of the recent anime adaptation, the franchise is expanding! A live-action movie is now in production, and the first poster has been released, giving fans a sneak peek at how the series will be brought to life.
Sakamoto Days to Debut Live-Action Movie in 2026
Shonen Jump recently revealed that a live-action movie based on *Sakamoto Days* is planned for release in Japan during Golden Week 2026. While details are scarce, the timing – late April to early May – suggests the project is already well underway. The announcement itself, accompanied by a special poster, was a surprise, but the relatively quick release date is even more unexpected.
Although details about the new *Sakamoto Days* movie’s production and cast are still coming, creator Yuto Suzuki expressed his enthusiasm, saying he’s dreamed of seeing the series’ action come to life since childhood. He’s thrilled his vision is finally becoming a reality thanks to the support of fans, and promises a high-quality movie experience thanks to a talented production team. He encourages everyone to see it in theaters!
When Is Sakamoto Days Going to End?
It’s still unclear when *Sakamoto Days* will end. The characters have begun individual battles leading up to the climax, making a prediction difficult. While some series in the magazine have had long finales, others, like *Mission: Yozakura Family*, were rushed to a quick conclusion. So, the length of the ending for *Sakamoto Days* remains uncertain.
The TV anime of *Sakamoto Days* recently finished a popular run this summer, and fans are eager to find out if more episodes are planned. This, along with the manga’s success, has boosted the franchise’s popularity. The upcoming live-action film could be released to coincide with future anime or manga releases, further increasing its reach.
