Whether it's the anime or the manga, Sakamoto Days has consistently kept fans engaged with its plot. However, it has also faced some backlash along the way. Most recently, the manga left readers a little furious. On June 8, 2025, chapter 216 of Sakamoto Days was released and quickly sparked controversy among fans. Many had been eagerly awaiting the chapter due to a major event involving Shin Asakura, a key character.
