Sakamoto Days Volume 17 Cover Art Revealed

Sakamoto Days might be taking over conversations thanks to its new anime, but the manga is keeping up with the reveal for the cover art for Volume 17 of the manga! Sakamoto Days‘ manga is one of the biggest action hits currently running in the pages of Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, and the series seems to only be getting bigger with each new chapter that hits. As it works its way through one of its most intense arcs to date, each new volume of the manga hitting shelves in Japan has been eagerly anticipated and flying off the shelves as soon as they hit. 

With Sakamoto Days recently announcing a new anime adaptation was now in the works, the manga has also made a major step forward with the reveal of the cover art for Volume 17 of the manga. Hitting shelves in Japan beginning on June 4th, Sakamoto Days Volume 17 collects Chapters 143 through 151 of Yuto Suzuki’s original manga series. The cover art features a cool action shot of Mafuyu Seba (who plays a big role in this particular chunk of chapters), and you can check out the cover for Sakamoto Days Volume 17 below.
