10 Most Badass Sakamoto Days Manga Volume Covers Ranked

The cover of Sakamoto Days' third manga volume features the sniping assassin, Heisuke Mashimo.

He is holding his bolt-action rifle with a scope and iron sight, ready to fire at his opponent from a considerable distance.

The cover also has Heisuke's bird companion, Piisuke, Taro Sakamoto in his distinctive yellow shirt and green apron, lazily sitting on a roof, and Shin Asakura standing in a corner.

The background, on the other hand, appears to be the department store where Heisuke, Sakamoto, and Shin competed in an airsoft tournament for a large cash prize.

This cover focuses on Heisuke, who was introduced in the story as a struggling assassin determined to succeed in his chosen career.

There are 200 pages in the ninth volume of Sakamoto Days, with Nao Toramaru and Taro Sakamoto on the cover.

Nao looks like a yandere who’s about to decapitate anyone’s head with her axe. She also looks extra dangerous with her mad expression, contrary to her usual cute and innocent demeanor.

Taro Sakamoto, on the other hand, provides the background for Nao, who was a huge fan of the hitman before she detested his current underwhelming appearance.

The second volume cover of the Sakamoto Days manga features fan favorites Shin Asakura, Lu Xiaotang, and Taro Sakamoto at an amusement park, in keeping with the series' Amusement Park story arc.

While Sakamoto sits idly on a roller coaster, holding churros in his left hand and a drink in his right, Shin Asakura and Lu Xiaotang appear to be preparing to beat someone viciously.

There's also a Ferris wheel in the background, which serves as an iconic setting for one of the most interesting bouts in the second volume.

This cover also shows Shin and Lu working overtime in their green aprons as Sakamoto tries to relax on his day off.

Osaragi, the Order's immature and religious assassin, appears on the cover of Sakamoto Days' fifth manga volume, making her the first female character to make a solo appearance on the series' manga covers.

She looks stunning in her purple gown, transparent veil, and mesh sleeves as if she were a gothic bride who had just killed her groom with her collapsible buzzsaw weapon.

The blood splatters on the cover indicate that Osaragi is a dangerous and highly adept assassin whose abilities should not be taken lightly.

Nagumo Yoichi finally made it into one of the manga covers of Sakamoto Days in the sixth volume, Bad Luck.

No offense to Taro Sakamoto, but he looks like the main protagonist of Sakamoto Days due to his badass pose on the cover.

He has a dice in between his fingers, while his right-hand holds his signature multi-blade weapon that has six functions.

In case you didn’t know, Nagumo often uses his dice to decide which blade he’ll use to kill his opponent for fun.

While he looks like a kind and decent person at a glance, he’s tricky and cunning, making him one of the most formidable assassins in Sakamoto Days.

Following Nagumo’s cover, the seventh volume features none other than Gaku, a highly capable assassin who works with Slur against the Japanese Association of Assassins (JAA).

The seventh manga volume is also Gaku’s first solo cover in Sakamoto Days, which shows how important his role is in the series.

On the cover, Gaku looks like a fashionable assassin, ready to rock the runway with his sneakers, baggy pants, and signature hairstyle.

He also has a mace, which looks like a meat tenderizer, on his hand, as if warning everyone not to mess with him.

Natsuki Seba poses in the fourth manga volume of Sakamoto Days, along with Kashima, who’s sitting like an ordinary passenger on the train despite wearing his realistic reindeer head mask.

Posters of Sakamoto and Shin are also scattered on the floor as if Natsuki were looking at them before a cameraman asked him to pose to get the money shot.

It’s a colorful cover, perfect for the events that transpired in the subway station as part of the Lab Arc of the series.

If you haven’t read the Lab Arc yet, then do yourself a favor and start reading it now.

While the title of the fourth volume is Quiet on the Train, there’s nothing quiet about the events that happened from chapter 26 to chapter 34.

Shishiba of the Order finally made it onto the cover of volume 11 of the manga series.

He looks cooler than any other character who made it into the covers, thanks to his healthy-looking blonde hair and perfect pose that looks straight out of a magazine cover.

As usual, Shishiba holds onto one of his claw hammers, which shows the reflection of none other than his former mentor, Yotsumura.

This is a foreshadowing of one of the crucial fights in the series, as Shishiba uses his claw hammer to end everything that’s going on between him and his mentor.

Sakamoto Days’ first volume cover will forever be iconic, as the readers get to see a retired legendary hitman with a gun and a cup of noodles in his left and right hand, respectively.

It’s a rare sight, as Taro Sakamoto doesn’t look like an assassin at all due to his getup and physical appearance. Even so, Sakamoto looks badass, pointing a gun at the readers, as if he means serious business.

On the other hand, Shin Asakura is also on the cover, firing a bullet from his gun. He also wears a green apron, which suggests he works with Sakamoto in a convenience store.

Because of its concept, the cover of volume 16 may be one of the most distinctive in Sakamoto Days.

The cover features Kamihate, but his face is completely obscured by his disguise. He carries a sniper rifle made of silvery steel, ready to end someone's life in an instant.

That's not the most interesting aspect of the cover, though; the bullets were what made it appear great.

The bullets bear the faces of Heisuke Mashimo, Shin Asakura, and Taro Sakamoto as if Kamihate had killed them with his not-so-friendly sniper gun.
