The last chapter of Sakamoto Days uncovered Shin's past, revealing details about his escape and his four-year search for someone. While captured by a group of assassins, Shin used his ESP to target Sakamoto. However, he then fainted after reading his thoughts as it depicted Shin’s death.

Meanwhile, Sakamoto is working undercover and is tasked with eliminating a JAA traitor, Tasuku Ando. Shin’s sabotage of Sakamoto’s mission causes some tension, but he later realizes they share a common target. Shin decides to follow Sakamoto, believing he might find Ando with him.

Sakamoto Days Chapter 197 will likely feature Shin trying to convince Sakamoto to allow him to help find Tasuku Ando, using his ESP as justification. Shin may conceal his personal reasons for seeking Ando, fearing a potential conflict with Sakamoto’s mission.

Sakamoto will likely suspect a deeper connection between Shin and Ando but refrain from probing further. Their pursuit of Ando could lead to new challenges, as more about Shin’s past is revealed to Sakamoto.
