The Promised Neverland Vol. 1, by Kaiu Shirai

 

The Promised Neverland appears to be a story about a group of happy orphans and their day to day life’s at Grace Field Orphanage. Where the only concern they have is rigorous testing. However, readers quickly learn this is not the case. Instead the book turns into a story of survival for Emma and the other children. As the story unfolds the reader learns more about Emma’s world, and what it’s going to take make it at Grace Field.

I’m currently in the middle of reading this series, and found it quite enjoyable from the first chapter. The series doesn’t take its time showing its true nature.  As mentioned above right in the first chapter the reader learns that this is a suspenseful series, and can be considered a horror manga. While I don’t want to go into details on what happens in that first chapter I would recommend this manga if you enjoy the horror genre.

This is an ongoing series, needed to be read in order, and not available at Eastpointe Memorial. However, a librarian can place a copy on hold from another library in the cooperative. This review only pertains to Vol. 1.

4.48 on Goodreads, 4.9 on Amazon
