What Weekly Shonen Jump issues have Sakamoto Days on the cover?

23 feature covers.

From the series debut in 2020 No.51 to the sixth anniversary in 2026 No.48, Sakamoto Days has led the Weekly Shonen Jump cover 23 times. Every one is pictured below, verified issue by issue against publisher and press sources, because the English-language lists floating around are incomplete: most of them stop in 2025 and miss all five 2026 covers.

Sakamoto also appears on 25 ensemble covers, the merged and seasonal issues where the Jump leads share one cover. Those are listed separately at the bottom. And one famous non-cover, 2024 No.48, gets its own warning, because sellers price it like an anniversary cover and it is not one.

THE ONE THAT ISN'T

Read before you buy

2024 No.48 is not a Sakamoto Days cover. It carries Sakamoto center color pages for the fourth anniversary, and sellers market it as an anniversary issue, but the cover belongs to another series. The fourth-anniversary cover is 2024 No.47. Price No.48 as a center-color issue, never as a cover.
