In my opinion, Sakamoto Days stands out among contemporary manga, particularly due to its rare absence of supernatural elements. Apart from Shin’s unique mind-reading talent, the characters and action sequences are remarkably grounded in reality. This realism gives the series an authentic feel that makes the occasional foray into exaggerated or fantastical elements, like the viral “Tunnel Effect,” all the more jarring.
However, despite these brief departures from the norm, Sakamoto Days has made a significant impact with its unwavering quality and originality. It’s worth noting that it’s had a longer run than Demon Slayer, if you compare them. This series has left an indelible mark on readers due to its consistency and uniqueness. As a result, the bar has been set quite high for any future series that might follow in its footsteps. I can’t wait to see what’s next!
