Many had been eagerly awaiting the chapter due to a major event involving Shin Asakura, a key character.

Sakamoto Days faces reader backlash as tunnel effect debate heats up 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.' I havent talked about Manga discourse in a while but the Tunnel Vision shit from Sakamoto Days is like the tamest shit. Do u know what series ur reading??? I'll argue it's lame but I don't really care Sakamoto Days has been kinda mid for the past year 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??

Sakamoto Days Chapter 217 To Reveal Shin's Plan—Recap, Release Date, Where To Read And More
The last Sakamoto Days chapter, titled 'Tunnel,' began with Shin surviving Takamura/X's slash thanks to Atari. She explains that she used the final remnants of her luck to cause the 'Tunnel Effect,' shifting the atoms of the blade to avoid contact with Shin. She warns that terrible misfortune will follow. Immediately after, every member of the Order arrives at the aquarium by chance. Kumanomi launches a whale at them, forcing Shin and Atari through a wall. As more attacks rain down on them, Atari urges Shin to kill her, but he refuses, vowing to protect everyone. Shin then thinks up a plan to escape. Expected plot in Sakamoto Days Chapter 217 Sakamoto Days Chapter 217 will likely begin with Shin acting on the strategy he just conceived. He may attempt to manipulate X's unstable Takamura persona by mocking him, or by making the Order members trigger their bloodlust. Shin may also use the chaos among Order members to exploit weaknesses or redirect attacks. Atari could attempt to shield Shin again, possibly resulting in fatal consequences. Reinforcements such as Sakamoto, Nagumo, Kindaka, or Osaragi and Shishiba may arrive during the confrontation to help the pair escape or turn the tide. Sakamoto Days Chapter 217: Release date and where to read Sakamoto Days Chapter 217 will be released in Japan on Monday, June 16, 2025, at 12:00 am JST. This translates to a daytime release on June 15, 2025 for most international readers, though the exact release times will vary.

Sakamoto Days Chapter 216: Will Shin Survive? Recap, Release Date, Where To Read And More
The last Sakamoto Days chapter, titled 'Sea of Corpses,' saw Shin and X, now controlled by the Takamura persona, clash inside the drained aquarium tank. Shin struggled to evade his overwhelming attacks, questioning how Sakamoto and Nagumo ever held their own against such force. Seeking cover in a seal tank also proved futile. When one of X's men tries to shoot Shin, Takamura killed him instead, targeting their bloodlust. He slaughtered his allies indiscriminately, ignoring Shin. After Shin lead the civilians to safety, Takamura appeared once more. The chapter ended as he seemingly beheads Shin. Expected plot in Sakamoto Days Chapter 216 Sakamoto Days Chapter 216 will likely confirm whether Shin has survived Takamura/X's final blow. While the imagery strongly implies fatal damage, it may be a near-miss or interrupted attack. It's possible that someone like Sakamoto, Heisuke, Asakura, or even Boiled intervened in time to save Shin. The chapter may explore Shin's injuries and whether he can continue to fight, especially given that he was already exhausted from using his ESP across Japan. The focus could also shift to those preparing to face X's Takamura persona next as the situation grows increasingly deadly. Sakamoto Days Chapter 216: Release date and where to read Sakamoto Days Chapter 216 will be out on Monday, June 9, 2025, at 12 am JST, though most fans around the world will be able to read the chapter on Sunday, June 8, at approximately 3 pm GMT / 7 am PT / 10 am ET. The exact timing may vary depending on individual time zones, so keep this in mind. Sakamoto Days Chapter 216 can be read on various online platforms. In the US and Canada, Viz Media offers access to the series, while Shueisha's MANGAPlus also has the rights to release new chapters. Additionally, readers can find the chapter in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 28. Keep up with Pinkvilla for more updates from the Sakamoto Days manga.

The last Sakamoto Days chapter, titled 'Lost Child,' opened with civilians and media reacting to Japan's firearms suddenly becoming non-functional. X confronts Shin about the sabotage. Though Shin doesn't know Seba was responsible, he implies Sakamoto's group might be. X then attacks using a sword that morphs into a scorpion-whip. Remembering Nagumo's advice, Shin avoids emitting bloodlust to prevent awakening Takamura. He ejects both of them from the building using a jet seat, landing in an aquarium. Realising where they are, X hallucinates Rion and hesitates. His Takamura personality then awakens when a shark attacks. Expected plot in Sakamoto Days Chapter 215 Sakamoto Days Chapter 215 will likely continue with Shin facing the Takamura identity within X. Since Takamura hasn't attacked immediately, Shin may have a brief window to escape without provoking him. The chapter will likely depict Shin avoiding bloodlust while seeking safety. Sakamoto may also reappear, attempting to extract Shin. The setting in the aquarium will likely become a factor during the encounter, either obstructing or aiding escape efforts depending on Takamura's reaction. Boiled, Heisuke, or Asakura may still make a miraculous return.
