Why This Order
SAKAMOTO DAYS has the simplest possible watch order, with one catch in the naming.
Part 1 and Part 2 are not two seasons. They are the two halves of Season 1, released in January and July 2025 with a break in between, and Part 2 continues straight from the end of Part 1. Episode numbering runs through both, so Part 2 covers episodes 12-22. Netflix also presents all 22 episodes as a single season.
That matters because Season 2 is a different thing. It is a new season, announced for January 2027 on Netflix, and it moves into the JCC infiltration arc, where Sakamoto and Shin go undercover at an academy for assassins. If you have watched both parts, you are fully caught up.
There are no films, OVAs or specials in the anime so far. A spin-off manga and a live-action adaptation exist, but neither is part of the anime story.

Spin-off Manga
Yuto Suzuki's manga has run in Weekly Shonen Jump since November 2020, with 28 volumes in Japan as of August 2026, and Viz Media and MANGA Plus publish it in English. After Season 1, start from Chapter 75 in Volume 9. Some guides say Chapter 76, but the last episode only adapts part of Chapter 75, so starting there means you miss nothing. The anime also left out a few slice-of-life chapters, so reading from Volume 1 gets you everything.
