Honestly one of my favorite manga. It’s just so much fun. The fight scenes are brilliant. The antagonists and protagonists are both great and have interesting abilities. And even the story is good. I really enjoy the twist on the antagonist.
A schizophrenic assassin gets a new personality, past is revealed and a homeless addict person is introduced as a new character. Still with beautiful art, dynamic action and lovely characters.
Chapter 171: You have two choices if you want to survive. Kill X and prove your innocence to the JAA. Or destroy the JAA.
Chapter 171: I just want to live in peace.
Chapter 171: Let's open a shop here! A local store for the people who live in the neighborhood! We'll create a place where you belong!
Chapter 171:
Chapter 171: We take over the JAA, and turn Sakamoto's into a national chain store.
Chapter 172:
Chapter 172: I'm nothing more than Kei's memories of Rion Akao. You're lying! If that's true, then how do you know me?! I've never met X! I talked a lot about you to Kei, Akira.
Chapter 173: You don't seem like a bad guy to me.
Chapter 174: I don't want you to die. And I don't want you killing anyone. I doesn't feel right to take people's lives just for my own happiness.
Chapter 174: I like how innocent Kei's thinking is. But it's not possible. This world isn't kind to everyone. So it's up to me to make the world a place where kind people can stay kind.
Chapter 174: Do one last mission for me. The job is to eliminate a certain skilled assassin. Complete the mission and I promise to free your friends at Al-Kamar.
Chapter 174:
Chapter 175:
Chapter 175: Situs Inversus is a rare condition in which the major organs are on the inverse side of the body. Only one in 10000 to 20000 people have it. What should have been a fatal bullet wound miraculously missed my organs. So, I didn't die.
Chapter 175: The assassin world and regular world aren't that different. Nobody reached out to me. Apart from one person-Rion Akao. Why is Rion dead? While I... and these jerks... and Asaki are alive? Where are the people Rion wanted protect in this world? Enough. I don't care what happens to this world.
Chapter 175: Gaku. Haruma. Kumanomi. Gozu. Tenkyu. I'm back. Karma won't weight us down. We have no responsibilty for who we kill. We simply swore to destroy everything.
Chapter 176: Shut up we're retreating into a fantasy world, okay?! Quit being a wet blanket!
Chapter 176: Nagumo, what's the situation?
Chapter 177: Kindaka
Chapter 177:
Chapter 177:
Chapter 177: Your life support bill is 1.2 million per month, after half the costs are covered by assassin insurance. So the total cost for eight years is 1.15 billion. I've been paying it for you. So, get me back as soon as you can, and it's all good!
Chapter 178: Garbage. That horse race predicting AI app was totally useless. Whoever made it was a moron. Wait... think this through, dude. If I quit now, I waste the 1000 yen I paid for it. The way to win is to keep trying until it happens. Everyone knows that.
Chapter 179: Torres
Chapter 179: In gambling, the dudes who wait to get lucky and draw a good hand always lose. It's all about how you play the hand you're dealt. You rely too much on luck.
This volume filled in so many blanks in the overall narrative and had some super dope panels. Absolutely loved the start of the volume, it set such a distinct tone and finally showed how Sakamoto’s shop came to be. From there we got some backstory that I did not expect to get honestly but which really improved the richness of the story, then some training and a crazy high level battle out of nowhere. Kindaka’s return is awesome and could be a huge game changer. I love that where the world is at in Sakamoto Days right now insane shit could happen at any second and already does several times in this volume. An absolute joy to read as always, cannot wait for the next one, long live Sakamoto Days!
I really liked this one! The first half focuses on Uzuki Kei's past and the birth of X. Of course, we learn more about Rion Akao and his split personalities. At first, I was not sure about the whole DID thing but now I'm kind of digging it, especially since Uzuki has Takamura'a personality. The second half focuses on Sakamoto's gang who are trying to get stronger so that they can overthrow the JAA. A great character returns (not gonna spoil) and the training arc begins.
absolutely devastating to get rion and kei’s backstory. she understood him and was gonna help him free his family only for them both to be set up by ASAKI who for some reason i thought was related to kei…
excited to see shin strengthen his esp and see where this prison arc leads for him and heisuke
ALSO ALSO where are gozu and tenkyu??? i don’t think either of them have made an appearance yet in the story

HOLY CRAP!? the way this answered (nearly) all of my questions and concerns from the last few volumes!? mind boggling. I'm truly in awe of the way this story is coming together and WOW was I shocked by the flashbacks 😭😭😭
Boh a livello di storia è interessante ma il problema è sempre lo stesso: succedono cose a caso. Kintara che si sveglia e il giorno dopo è un dio del combattimento. Sakamoto e Nagumo prima non potevano avvicinarsi al minimarket moh ci vivono senza problemi. La backstory tra Rion e Uzuki è molto carina ma un po’ illogica: a una come Akao non frega un cazzo di salvare la famiglia di Uzuki dai ma porcodio. Il modo in cui è morta e che poi ha portato Uzuki a essere Slur, invece, ha molto senso. Solo un po’ rushato per i miei gusti. Il disturbo della personalità di Slur continua a non avere molto senso. Slur versione Rion ancora ancora, ma Slur versione vecchio samurai no. Neanche per idea.

god learning what really happened between uzuki and rion was... wow. they really cared for each other and their fucking last mission was to kill each other UGH. UGHHHHHHHHH. fuck man. well... now uzuki has some fucking killer personalities (like... Literally) and their squad is about to do some fucking damage. also love the new order members. the old fuck and the guitar man??? i mean its NOTHING to the OG order but like i love seeing these new members and how their fighting skills are. i don't think we are almost done with the story but shit is for sure coming together and I'm so excited to see where this goes. AND NAGUMO ON OUR SIDE NOW WOOOOOOO
