Whether it¡¯s the anime or the manga, Sakamoto Days has consistently kept fans engaged with its plot. However, it has also faced some backlash along the way. 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.¡±
