Continue readingThe Promised Neverland
A manga about an orphanage that is actually a human farm for demon consumption.
We’ve discussed this on a previous episode.
The Promised Neverland was a hit series that ended this year after 181 chapters. I was personally never a big fan because Posuka Demizu‘s character art never resonated with me but I still skimmed through each new chapter in Weekly Shonen Jump.
This series took a turn after the story left the original setting and I can’t help but feel that Kaiu Shirai carefully crafted that first section of the story but hadn’t with the rest. The narrative never rebounded and it led to a subpar ending. It’s a shame that this series fizzled out at the end but I still think the beginning is good and I highly recommend the anime adaptation.
