After a delightful run, Chanta’s manga series, Sachi’s Records: Sachi’s Book of Revelation, has reached its conclusion. The final chapter, chapter 48, was published on April 24, 2025, bringing the story of Sachi, the mischievous 6-year-old, and her angelic and demonic roommates to a heartwarming close. This quirky comedy series, serialized on Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ manga service since July 2023, has garnered a dedicated following for its unique premise and endearing characters.
A Whimsical Premise
Sachi’s Records presents a unique take on the age-old battle between good and evil. The story revolves around “Humanity’s Judgment,” a process where an angel and a demon evaluate a human to determine the fate of mankind. This time, the chosen subject is Sachi Ueno, a spirited and somewhat bratty young girl who has been living a middle-class life since her parents passed away four years prior to the story’s beginning.
God gathers the angels and demons to decide whether humanity should continue to exist or face extermination. Representatives are sent to Earth to observe Sachi, grade her actions, and ultimately decide humanity’s destiny. Thus begins an unconventional living arrangement as an angel named Ran and a demon named Boros move in with Sachi.
Characters That Steal the Show
The strength of Sachi’s Records lies in its charming cast of characters:
- Sachi Ueno: A mischievous and energetic 6-year-old girl who becomes the focal point of Humanity’s Judgment. Despite her initial bratty demeanor, Sachi possesses a good heart and often leads the angel and demon to do good deeds, even if unintentionally.
- Ran: A lazy and somewhat irresponsible angel tasked with observing Sachi. Despite her laid-back attitude, Ran genuinely cares for Sachi and often finds herself caught up in her antics.
- Boros: A strict and initially cynical demon who serves as the counterpoint to Ran. Boros struggles to understand human behavior and is often exasperated by Sachi’s mischievousness, but he gradually develops a soft spot for her.
A Blend of Comedy and Heart
Sachi’s Records masterfully blends comedy with heartwarming moments. The series is filled with goofy situations and humorous interactions between Sachi, Ran, and Boros as they navigate their unusual family dynamic. The humor often stems from the clash between the supernatural beings’ expectations and Sachi’s unpredictable behavior.
However, beneath the surface-level comedy lies a deeper exploration of family, morality, and the complexities of human nature. The series subtly touches upon themes of loss, grief, and the importance of human connection. As Ran and Boros observe Sachi, they begin to understand the nuances of human behavior and the capacity for both good and evil that exists within everyone.
A Slice-of-Life with a Supernatural Twist
While the premise involves the fate of humanity, Sachi’s Records primarily unfolds as a slice-of-life manga. The series depicts everyday scenarios such as school field trips, entrance ceremonies, and dealing with rich classmates, all with a supernatural twist. This blend of the ordinary and the extraordinary creates a unique and engaging reading experience.
Recognition and Completion
Sachi’s Records was nominated for the Next Manga Awards 2024 and ranked fifth in the web category, a testament to its popularity and critical acclaim. The series ran for nearly two years, amassing 48 chapters and numerous bonus chapters, all compiled into five volumes.
Where to Read
