A battle manga published in Shonen Jump, often overlooked, has quietly achieved something remarkable: it’s been running for five years. This is especially noteworthy because many manga in the magazine don’t last that long, and even popular series like Demon Slayer didn’t reach this milestone. Shonen Jump is Shueisha’s biggest publication, so manga published there face high expectations. While most series used to run for many years, recently, fewer are considered suitable for long-term publication, leading to more endings and cancellations. That makes Sakamoto Days’ continued success for five years truly impressive.
Unlike the incredibly popular Demon Slayer, which concluded after just over four years, Sakamoto Days has become a valuable and long-running title for Shonen Jump, making its five-year anniversary significant. Recent sales figures actually show Sakamoto Days is performing better for Shonen Jump than Black Clover did. It’s a truly special manga, and with the industry constantly evolving, fans might not see many series reach this milestone again.

With its fifth anniversary, Sakamoto Days is a real success story. Considering Shueisha has recently been ending or canceling many manga, the fact that Yuto Suzuki’s series is still going strong proves how popular and valuable it is. Like My Hero Academia, which has been running for nearly a decade with over 400 chapters, Sakamoto Days is one of the newer titles to reach this impressive milestone. What’s particularly noteworthy is how unique Sakamoto Days is compared to other manga in Shonen Jump.
Unlike most action-packed manga, Sakamoto Days feels realistic and down-to-earth in its fight scenes, which is a big reason why it’s become so popular. The series is nearing its end, and with 240 chapters released, it could potentially have more chapters than Jujutsu Kaisen, which finished with 275, as the story builds to its final moments.
With Sakamoto Days becoming a popular anime on Netflix this year, the story’s final part might be longer than originally planned, potentially surpassing Jujutsu Kaisen in total chapters. Although what’s next for this one-of-a-kind series from Shonen Jump is still unknown, the coming year promises to be thrilling, particularly as Sakamoto Days marks its fifth anniversary with special celebrations.
