Sakamoto Holidays Spinoff Nears Its Climax
The Sakamoto Holidays spinoff manga is reaching its climax as the original series heads into its own final battle.
Updated on Nov. 4, 2026 in Comic Books
Sakamoto Holidays, a spinoff of the Sakamoto manga published in English by Viz, is reaching its climax. The original series, which launched in a magazine in November 2020, has entered its "final battle" and has reached 18 million copies in circulation worldwide.
Why it matters
The spinoff's approach to its ending follows the original manga's move toward conclusion, giving international readers a closing chapter across both series. Viz's English-language publication means readers outside Japan can follow the story to its finish alongside the main title.
The original Sakamoto manga has shipped 29 compiled volumes and is in circulation at 18 million copies worldwide, while the spinoff's fourth volume shipped August 4. The source does not specify an ending date for either series.

Season Trajectory
The climax of the original manga and its spinoff mirrors the English-language publishing pattern Viz has used for long-running Japanese series, in which parent titles and spinoffs are released in parallel. For readers, this means the spinoff's ending will likely arrive close to the main story's conclusion.
Readers following the series in English can track the spinoff's remaining compiled volumes as they ship, and the original's 29th volume is already out. Anime viewers can mark January 2027 for the second season premiere.
The takeaway
Readers who want the full arc should follow both the original series and its spinoff, since the two are reaching their conclusions together. Tracking compiled volume releases is the most practical way to keep pace.
