Sakamoto Days chapter 172 will be released in Japan on Monday, July 1, 2024, at 12 am JST. Fans can read the issue on Viz Media’s official website, Shueisha’s MANGAPlus service, or the Shonen Jump+ app.

In the previous chapter, readers saw Sakamoto rediscover his determination to fight rather than distancing himself from his family. His strategy, however, needs to be elaborated further, which hopefully will be the case in Sakamoto Days chapter 172. In the meantime, Uzuki is also back in action.

Sakamoto Days chapter 171 recap

In the previous chapter, Sakamoto found himself questioning his place in the world, while Nagumo enjoyed the cake meant for Hana. Nagumo tried to reassure him, reminding him that they were both on the JAA's radar, labeled as Uzuki's accomplices in the museum terrorist attack. Their survival hinged on either eliminating Uzuki to clear their names or dismantling the JAA.

During a walk, Sakamoto, lost in thoughts of a peaceful life, was targeted by two assassins. However, he took care of them without even realizing it. He was remembering how Uzuki's alter ego, Akao, had thrust him back into this mess by placing a billion-yen bounty on his head. Despite everything, he admired her relentless spirit, which was forceful even after her death.

Upon arriving at the store, he found Aoi distressed about the store closing down. The frequent visits by assassins had scared off the regular customers, and the rise of large convenience store chains near train stations reduced their sales even further.

Sakamoto suggested moving elsewhere, but Aoi was reluctant to give up the store.

This conversation forced Sakamoto to remember how he struggled to find a job and even questioned whether he belonged in the world. It was Aoi who had proposed converting his residence into a store, carving out his own niche.

Sakamoto then calculated the number of JAA branches in Japan and globally, discovering about thirty-seven in Japan and four abroad, along with numerous affiliated companies. These were primarily located in cities where there is a high demand for assassinations.

Then, he made a startling declaration: he would take over the JAA and transform his store into a national chain.

Just as he was about to elaborate on his ambitious plan, a news report caught everyone’s attention: there was an attack on a JAA-owned weapons factory, with Uzuki and his gang suspected to be the perpetrators. The battle was still underway.


What to expect from Sakamoto Days chapter 172 (speculative)

Sakamoto Days chapter 172 is expected to focus on Uzuki's attack on the weapons factory. Despite the loss of several crucial members, Uzuki and his gang’s skill level is enough to take over the factory.

This attack is likely a strategy to get his hands on weaponry to continue the mission to eliminate Asaki and the JAA. However, this situation could lead to a confrontation with the New Order.
