Reader’s Question:
I recently got into the anime “Sakamoto Days,” and I just finished the first season. I’m curious, up to which volume does the manga go? I can’t wait for the second season, so I’m thinking of buying the manga to read from where the anime left off. Could you
please let me know which volume I should start with?
The Journey of Reading “Sakamoto Days”
Hey there, fellow anime enthusiasts! I wanted to share my thoughts on diving into the manga of “Sakamoto Days” after finishing the first season. It’s always a thrilling experience to see how a beloved anime translates into its source material, and I must say, my journey has been quite the adventure. So, I recently wrapped up the first season, and like many of you, I was left craving more. After some research and a bit of chatter with fellow fans, I discovered that the anime covers up to the middle of volume 5. That means, if you’re eager to continue the story, volume 5 is where you’ll want to start! It’s exciting to think about all the action and character development waiting for you in those pages. Now, here’s a fun twist: while the anime does a great job of showcasing the story, it skips over some hilarious and heartwarming moments from the earlier volumes. For instance, there’s this scene where Sakamoto’s wife, Aoi-san, gets caught up in a bus-jacking incident. It’s both tense and comical, a perfect blend that captures the essence of “Sakamoto Days.” Also, those ordinary folks who manage to throw a wrench in Sakamoto’s plans? Their antics in the first few volumes are pure gold! As I flipped through the pages, I found myself laughing out loud in public, much to the bemusement of those around me. There’s something oddly comforting about reading a manga that balances action with humor. I couldn’t help but indulge in some snacks while I read—it’s the perfect excuse, right? Just me, my snacks, and a world of quirky characters. Reflecting on my experience, I encourage you all to dive into the manga. The art style is vibrant, and it enhances the story in ways that an anime adaptation sometimes can’t capture. Plus, it’s always fascinating to see how the creator develops the characters and plot beyond what we see on screen. So, have any of you started reading the manga? What are your thoughts on the differences between the anime and the manga? Or maybe you have your own favorite moments to share? I’d love to hear your insights and experiences in the comments below. Let’s keep the conversation going!
