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. However, instead of the expected outcome, mangaka Yuto Suzuki used the "Tunnel Effect" to keep Shin alive, leading fans to accuse him of using plot armor and 'making a fool' of them.

Reacting to it, one wrote, 'Prime example of "you are allowed to do silly and dumb things in the story as long as you dont try to make a fool of your readers". Another added, 'The Tunnel Effect may be ridiculous but so is the rest of this manga and that's why I love it. I'm not reading this shit for the realism. I don't mind illogical shit as long as the plot keeps moving. '
A third went on to add, 'I havent talked about Manga discourse in a while but the Tunnel Vision crap from Sakamoto Days is like the tamest.'

My take on the Sakamoto Days Tunnel effect is that it just wasn't fun bs, the bs makes the story fun. Just this particular bs was not fun, funny, or cool like its usual brand. Like shaking a bag to make a gun is fuckin funny, dismantling a gun midpunch hilarious/cool, ts?? No pic.twitter.com/eWwblsfZi0

Kikkoman launches 'The Kikkoman Manga' to accelerate the switch to its soy sauce by more restaurants in India
PRNewswire Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 16: Kikkoman is leveraging one of Japan's most beloved cultural exports - Manga - to convey the unique features of Kikkoman Soy Sauce to the owners of India's more than 1.5 million restaurants. Apart from owners, chefs, line/junior chefs, cooks, and culinary school students will be encouraged, in classic manga-style, to switch to Kikkoman to give their dishes more robust flavour, marking a creative and engaging approach to marketing in India by this global Japanese company. Here's the story of the first episode: Pramod, a chef with exceptional skills, learns he is getting fired from his job after unilaterally changing the restaurant's menu. Amid all the tension, he coincidentally meets Varun, a restaurant owner-chef who has inherited his father's restaurant. The two connect through their shared passion for cooking and work together to rebuild the restaurant, transforming it into a popular eatery through the use of the condiment they both swear by - Kikkoman Soy Sauce. Chef Manjit Gill, President of the Indian Federation of Culinary Associations and Kikkoman India Industry Advisor, enjoyed the story thoroughly and felt a touch of nostalgia. "I strongly believe that Kikkoman's message will resonate with many chefs in India. There are said to be more than 200,000 chefs in the organized sector alone," he said. "I was fondly reminded of my own younger days - when the hero was trying hard, making all possible efforts to make dishes more delicious - using the best ingredients. I look forward to this story reaching out to a wide audience, making real impact in India. In fact, I'm waiting impatiently for the next episode of this interesting Kikkoman Manga." Currently, Kikkoman India is directly engaging with top chain restaurants and large format restaurants, gradually increasing its brand recognition and adoption. However, awareness of Kikkoman among owners and chefs of smaller restaurants, as well as line/junior chefs, and cooks in restaurants, remains relatively low. The Kikkoman Manga project's primary aim is to introduce the Kikkoman brand to chefs who are unfamiliar with it, to encourage chefs to consider trying Kikkoman, and to convey that Kikkoman Soy Sauce can also be used in Chinese cuisine. Kikkoman hopes the use of this compelling form of storytelling will accelerate the move to Kikkoman Soy Sauce becoming a vital ingredient in enhancing taste. Language will not be a barrier. The Kikkoman Manga will be available in English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Bengali, and Marathi. About Kikkoman and Kikkoman India With a history spanning over 350 years, the current Kikkoman corporate entity was established through the merger of eight families in 1917. The company's internationalization strategy began some 60 years ago, with its entry into the United States market. Kikkoman has become a global business, expanding to over 100 countries, with 11 soy sauce production sites worldwide that distribute its products all over the world to millions of consumers. Kikkoman India is solely responsible for importing all Kikkoman products, and is responsible for managing all production, marketing, sales, and distribution in India.
