This is probably my favorite volume after the escape. It keeps getting better and better now. I love the characters, they are well-developed and Norman isn’t now the all good boy we used to love.. his grey characterization adds a lot to the story. I’m looking forward to know how Shirai is going to wrap it up.. I hope our MCs make it out alive body and soul.

Shelves: manga

I never, EVER, want to see Emma so devastated for the rest of my life, thank for coming to my Ted Talk, have a nice day.

Okay, without spoiling anything, I can't even fathom what Emma must be feeling when she walked in on Norman. To have someone who you've admired and loved like family, who you know deep down is a good person with good intentions, commit such an atrocious act must be heartbreaking. The scene where adult Norman has his robes tugged by child Emma while child Norman stares sadly beh ...more

A Peter Pan retelling like you've NEVER seen before!! Emma, Norman and Ray are the brightest kids at the Grace Field House orphanage. And under the care of the woman they refer to as “Mom,” all the kids have enjoyed a comfortable life. Good food, clean clothes and the perfect environment to learn—what more could an orphan ask for? One day, though, Emma and Norman uncover the dark truth of the outside world they are forbidden from seeing.

Wow! Everything from page one of The Promised Neverland has ...more

This volume was just fantastic. I’m so pumped, I also almost cried like six thousand times, but it’s alright. I’m so looking forward to the next volume.
Anyway, let’s get on with it before I spoil everything in one sentence.

This is the last English-translation manga volume of The Promised Neverland for the year. This has been such an exciting book to read this year and it is crazy to think it will all be over in 2021. Of course, the Japanese-language version has already ended and season two of the anime is expected to premiere early 2021. In any case, this title has been one of the most interesting and intriguing comic books I've ever read and I can't wait to give my overall thoughts of the franchise when I read th ...more

Wow that was one heck of a volume. So much hinted at in previous volumes comes to fruition in this action packed installment in The Promised Neverland series. All the characters have now assembled at the demon capitol, each with different motivations, plans, and viewpoints. Some come to kill, some to save, and others to help friends. But who will prevail?

Story: Emma has succeeded in making a deal that will free the hu ...more

An interesting volume. I liked that we get to see more of the perspective of demons, to understand their society, backstory, characters. The scene between the demons, explaining the struggle between different factions of demons, was my favorite in this chapter. It's interesting that the demons are more complex that just a uniform mass of human-eating monsters.
The stakes are also building between Emma and Norman, now his betrayal has become clear, and I am eager to see how it will be sorted out ...more

We are awfully close to the end. A lot has happened in just a single volume so a lot has yet to come as well...Possibly.

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. I really LOVE this manga because it is one of those mangas where it is really well-developed... It shows what everyone's likes and dislikes are, their ambitions and desires (like Fruits Basket manga, even though that one is a shōjo manga). One can understand it so well and the reader will sympathize with it..I am glad that we are in the final arc, but I am not yet ready for it to end... Perhaps the creators don't want to lag it behind like what all other mangas are doing right now , and they jus ...more

Finally finished! While I liked the ending, I thought it moved suddenly very quickly and everything was too neat when it was resolved. One hitch, but I didn’t like that all that much either, though it was ok. Overall, great series!
