The Promised Neverland (Japanese: 約束のネバーランド, Hepburn: Yakusoku no Nebārando) is a Japanese manga series written by Kaiu Shirai and illustrated by Posuka Demizu. It was serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump from August 2016 to June 2020, with its chapters collected in 20 tankōbon volumes. In North America, Viz Media licensed the manga for English release and serialized it on their digital Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. The series follows a group of orphaned children in their plan to escape from their orphanage, after learning the dark truth behind their existence and the purpose of the orphanage.

The Promised Neverland was adapted into an anime television series produced by CloverWorks and broadcast on Fuji TV's Noitamina programming block. The series' first season ran for 12 episodes from January to March 2019. A second season ran for 11 episodes from January to March 2021. A live-action film adaptation was released in December 2020. Amazon Studios is also developing an American live-action series.

In 2018, the manga won the 63rd Shogakukan Manga Award in the shōnen category. By August 2023, The Promised Neverland had over 42 million copies in circulation, including digital versions, making it one of the best-selling manga series of all time. The manga has been overall well received by critics, in particularly for its storytelling, characters and world-building. The anime series' first season was well received, being considered as one of the best anime series of the 2010s. The second season, however, received negative reception, mainly due to its rushed pacing and simplification of the original manga's plot.

Synopsis

Setting

In a strange world filled with sentient creatures of different species, an agreement called "The Promise" was made to end a long war between humans and the so-called demons. "The Promise" was an agreement where each would live in their own separate "worlds": the human world, free from the threat of demons; and the demon world, where human breeding farms were set up to provide food for the demons. By eating humans, demons take on their attributes which prevent them from degenerating into mindless monsters. In the demon world, a special breeding program was set up under the guise of orphanages; there, a human "Mother" would oversee the children to make sure they grew up as intelligent as possible. These children had identifying numbers tattooed on them and had no knowledge of the outside world. They believed that they were orphans and once they reached a certain age or intelligence, they would be taken out for adoption, but were fed to high-ranking demons instead.

Plot

In the year 2045, 1,000 years after the formation of "The Promise", the bright and cheerful Emma is an 11-year-old orphan living in Grace Field House, a self-contained orphanage housing her and 37 other orphans. They lead an idyllic life, with plentiful food, plush beds, clean clothes, games and the love of their "Mom", Isabella. Their education is seen as an important part of their development, and Emma, with her two best friends Norman and Ray, always excel in the regular exams. The orphans are allowed complete freedom, except to venture beyond the perimeter wall or gate which separate the house from the outside world. One night, a girl named Conny is sent away to be "adopted", but Emma and Norman follow with her favorite stuffed animal toy. At the gate, they find Conny dead and discover the truth about their existence in this idyllic orphanage – to be raised as meat for demons. Emma and Norman plan with Ray to escape from Grace Field House with the children, but Norman is taken off to be "adopted". Emma and Ray then decide to escape with some of their older siblings, leaving half of the younger children behind.

The escapees find life outside Grace Field House is filled with dangers, but under the leadership of Emma and Ray, they become determined to return to free their remaining siblings, along with children from the other Farms. They encounter demons of all descriptions, including Mujika and Sonju, who aid them in their quest. Emma and Ray later meet up again with Norman and together with their allies, they fight a battle for freedom against the demon queen Legravalima and the human Peter Ratri who manages the Farms. Eventually, through her own determination, Emma secures the freedom of all the children and re-forges "The Promise", bringing all of them to the human world, but at the cost of her own memory.

Production

Development

The series' first conception originated by the end of 2013, from a draft originally simply titled Neverland, but was later changed to The Promised Neverland after running into some copyright issues.[4] Kaiu Shirai brought the 300-page The Promised Neverland draft to the Weekly Shōnen Jump editorial department.[4] Suguru Sugita, the editor of The Promised Neverland, said that "the series was an ambitious work that did not seem like a Jump manga, with both bright and dark scenes that needed a world of fantasy that would also create suspense".[4] According to Shirai, Sugita suggested to complete the series in twelve volumes; "a size around that of Death Note manga is enough, no longer than that".[5]

They had difficulties trying to find an artist whose style could match the story, ranging from famous illustrators to new and upcoming talent. Shirai considered Posuka Demizu as one of the candidates, as he and Sugita felt that her art was the best fit for the series' imagery. Some candidates turned down the offer, giving comments like that "the story did not feel like a Jump manga", or that "it would not become a hit", so they were "really happy and excited" when Demizu agreed to work on it.[4] Sugita said that Shirai and Demizu had a kind of synergy similar to Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, the creators of Death Note.[4] Before The Promised Neverland began its serialization, Shirai and Demizu published the one-shot Poppy’s Wish (ポピィの願い, Poppy no Negai) on the Shōnen Jump+ online platform in February 2016.[6] The one-shot was popular among readers and Sugita expressed that they were the right team for The Promised Neverland.[4]

Inspirations

Shirai was inspired by children's folklore books from all over the world and video games like Final Fantasy for the series' setting creation, while for the horror elements, he said that he only used his imagination because he did not like horror films.[7] He also mentioned that part of the story came from some nightmares that he had as a child, especially after having read Hansel and Gretel, stories about children being eaten, and a manga focused on spirits that made him ask himself if the monsters could solve their problems if they raised humans like cattle. Shirai said: "All these fears, ideas, influences, have come together. This is how the story of The Promised Neverland was born".[8]

Demizu said that the Japanese folklore and its monsters were a first source of inspiration, also citing European fairy tales like Little Red Riding Hood and Hansel and Gretel. She also mentioned Naoki Urasawa's Monster, Ghibli's universe and prison escape films, like Escape from Alcatraz, Papillon, The Great Escape and the American television series Prison Break.[7]

The series' setting was inspired by the Victorian England, as Shirai expressed that he wanted to "destabilize the readers and to lead them on the false leads" by making them think that the story was set in an English orphanage in the 19th century. He also wanted to avoid situating the story in a very specific time frame. He had no particular reasons to choose England, but the Grace Field House orphanage name written in English in the text appealed to him. Shirai also said that "the European town planning is a benchmark, a very popular style highly appreciated for the Japanese". Demizu did a two-month language study trip to England when she was younger and took a lot of photos that she used as a reference for the series. She was particularly impressed by the English forests and atmosphere.[8]

Concepts and themes

Regarding the title and its relation to Neverland, the fictional island of Peter Pan created by J. M. Barrie, Shirai said that it is a magical, fairy tale place to have fun thanks to Peter Pan, but that half the place is dark and dangerous. He said that these two parts, "the cohabitation of childish playfulness" and "the dangerous shadow that hovers at the bottom" are factors that he tried to transcribe through The Promised Neverland.[8] Shirai and his editor wanted to keep "Neverland" in the title, considering the story and its development. They then came up with "Promised" around the time they were working on the post-escape story. They considered the word to be important and agreed to also mention it in the plot.[4]

Despite its dark tone, Shirai wanted to publish The Promised Neverland in Weekly Shōnen Jump instead of a seinen manga magazine because "the plot is not related to age, even if the themes of the story are dark, and that there was no reason to deprive the magazine's readership of a story due to an editorial line". He added that the series has canon shōnen manga themes, such as mutual aid or surpassing oneself.[8] According to Shirai, the main characters are children because the magazine is mainly read by young readers, making it easier for the readers to relate to them, and the concept of children rebelling against adults was used because it is a classic theme in many stories.[8] Although Shirai admitted that the story is darker than the majority of the Weekly Shōnen Jump manga,[8] they avoided using "extreme trends" such as "ero-guro", "violence" or "nonsense", since, according to the series' editor, that would just make it "an ordinary manga", and they tried to include those essences as little as possible and use them only when they were necessary for the story.[4]

Shirai said that the idea of students with the lowest grades being the first to leave the Farm to be eaten by the demons, while not necessarily a metaphor, was a way of inviting the reader to reflect on current society.[8] Although Shirai admitted similarities between the series and the Japanese society and its school system, he said that "it is not meant to be an underlying critique and was rather an approach to daily life family, school and the way children look at adults".[7] Despite some interpretations made by PETA, saying that the series is a pamphlet against mass farming and pro-vegetarians, Shirai expressed that he was not trying to imbue the work with moral values, and as an author, he was not in position to judge. He emphasized that it was never explicitly said that demons were bad people in the story. He further said: "That people make a connection with veganism and intensive breeding doesn't bother me, but our main goal is to create a story to entertain people, not to offer a moral judgment. Our manga is not a critique of the consumer society as such".[8]

Writing

According to the official 2020 fan book, The Promised Neverland 0: Mystic Code, the writing process for the final chapters was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Shirai felt that the length of the chapters, particularly chapter 179 and the final chapter, limited the content that he wanted to include.[5]

Critical reception

Leroy Douresseaux of ComicBookBin gave the first volume a score of 9/10. Douresseaux praised the series for its characters, storytelling, and graphics, saying that the result is "a sinister, dark fantasy, and mystery thriller".[1] Gabe Peralta of The Fandom Post, in his review of the first volume, praised it for its plot twists and suspense, giving it a "B+" and saying "The Promised Neverland feels like a modern Weekly Shōnen Jump comic in every respect—it's energetic and eager to please".[197] Katherine Dacey of The Manga Critic enjoyed the series. Dacey wrote that she liked the world-building, crack pacing, crisp artwork, and a shocking plot twist in the first volume. She also praised the introduction of the principal characters and the main conflict.[198]

Anime News Network's Rebecca Silverman enjoyed the first manga volume and gave it an A−, saying, "tense pacing, interesting literary connections, art and story work well together, strong plot and foreshadowing".[199] Nick Creamer of the same website gave the second volume a B+ and called it a "unique and altogether thrilling story offers fun tactical drama and striking visual set pieces".[200] Creamer praised the third volume of the series, saying that Sister Krone and Emma's new allies adds thrilling complexity to a story that is both tightly plotted and thematically biting. Mentioning that, the series continues to be one of the most unique and gripping shōnen tales around.[201] He described the fourth volume as "it offers ever more reasons to check out this very unique manga" with its "excellent world and character-building, laying all the pieces in place for a truly thrilling escape, with a combination of alluring art and sturdy characterization".[202] Creamer gave volume five and six an A−. Praising their transition phase with grace, offering some of the most exciting conflicts and beautiful set pieces of the story so far and pulling off the "big world-building reveal" with such intelligence.[203][204] Reviewing volumes seven to nine, he wrote that "on the whole, setting the story's ambitions towards a new horizon while reintroducing some of the initial concepts that made this manga so thrilling continues to stride forward with tremendous confidence. The Promised Neverland's eighth volume may well be my favorite volume so far, and Demizu's art has never looked better".[205][206] Adding that, Goldy Pond translates Neverland's core appeal into action theater, while the art keeps the fighting clear and the monsters terrifying.[207]

Sean Gaffney from A Case Suitable for Treatment praised the storytelling and characters of volume eleven and twelve of the series, saying that "it continues to be one of the best Jump series I have read in years. A must-buy. Continuing to combine the best parts of horror and thrilling adventure, The Promised Neverland is still top-tier Jump".[208] Sean also highlighted the new directions and themes of the series in volume fifteen, concluding with "most of this volume is made up of political intrigue (albeit among demons) and moral/ethical arguments. It is well written, and I think this is a very good volume. This is not The Promised Neverland we started off with, and that is a good thing, even though I do get nostalgic for the old suspense novel feeling. It is still well worth a read".[209] In a review of volume fourteen and fifteen of the series, Wolfen Moondaughter of Sequential Tart says that they like the philosophical discussions of ethics, with great points made on both sides and the creative team did a great job showing the pros and cons of each side, and exploring how morality is not as easily defined or attained as we might wish.[210][211] Moondaughter also praised the history part of volume sixteen and seventeen, saying that Geelan's story is tragic and offers a great parallel with Norman's, with both of them willing to accept losses now that they would not have accepted once upon a time;[212][213] they concluded their review of the series by mentioning the story's ending in the final volume, stating "there are some nice final philosophical musings -- one of my favourite things about this series, so I'm glad that is still a hallmark in this last volume, it is fairly good, and made reading the series worthwhile".[214]

The manga critic and author, Yukari Fujimoto describes the manga as "first of all, although it is a manga published in a shōnen magazine, the main character is a female. A lot of children appear, and the scenes of fighting and communal life are depicted, but there is no difference between men and women in their roles, it is very well balanced. The story development is interesting, and while this work was being serialized, I was looking forward to reading the next volume. Furthermore, at the end of the story, the focus is on expanding the limits and options of both demons and humans. This is also to dismantle the current gender order, such as recognizing the victimhood of men".[215] Manga artist Hiroko Mizoguchi praised the series by saying that the drawings are wonderfully well drawn, the characters are also well drawn, and the story is magnificent and thrilling. She also highlighted the strong female leads.[216] The Gender SF Study Group member Manami Tachibana stated that the story is a tale of adventure and a noble runaway, in which children in an orphanage realize that they are not orphans but farmed children to be eaten by monsters. She described the story as a game where you solve tasks one by one and move on to the next. She concluded by giving Shueisha a round of applause for publishing such a different story from the rest of their published works.[217]

Masaki Tsuji lauded that The Promised Neverland is a manga series that has "a clear start, turn, and conclusion", which he described as "rare for a long story that has gained popularity". He also wrote that it is one of the best series that have ended in recent years.[218][219] Chengma Lingyi from Real Sound praised the good storytelling and worldview of the series, he also stated that Posuka Demizu's art is very beautiful, elegant, and spectacular. It also underlines the psychology and the suspense of the work, which confronts existence with "wisdom". He noted that in the last arc, in which the monsters eat people and demons at will, is a scene where the theme of this work is illustrated and it is the sad end of those who have monopolized wealth and sacrificed the weak.[220] Lingyi added, "the dilemma of purpose and sacrifice is why The Promised Neverland has become a masterpiece full of reality".[221]

Anime

Season 1 of The Promised Neverland holds a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 5 reviews.[261] In February 2020, the anime series was awarded "Best Fantasy" at Crunchyroll Anime Awards, and Isabella won the "Best Antagonist" category.[262] Polygon named the series as one of the best anime of the 2010s,[263] and Crunchyroll listed it in their "Top 100 best anime of the 2010s".[264] IGN also listed The Promised Neverland among the best anime series of the 2010s.[265] The Brazilian website Legiao Dos Herois listed the series as one of "10 most successful anime" of 2010s.[266]

Lauren Orsini of Forbes included The Promised Neverland on her list of the best anime of the decade.[267] The Verge also listed the anime series in its list of the best anime of 2019.[268] James Beckett of Anime News Network ranked the series fifth on his list of best anime series of 2019.[269] Toussaint Egan of Thrillist ranked the series third on his list of best anime of 2019.[270] Season 2 of The Promised Neverland became the second biggest anime premiere ever on MyAnimeList behind Attack on Titan: The Final Season.[271]

Critical reception

Brittany Vincent, writing a review of the first season for Syfy, praised the twist at the end of episode 1, saying that "Watching a seemingly idyllic community of happy-go-lucky kids seeing their realities destroyed in such a brutal way makes this a show that you just have to continue watching". Vincent particularly praised the animation and character designs saying: "These aren't your generic anime kids, with pink hair and zany costumes. The lead protagonist, Emma, hardly looks like your typical anime character at all, thanks to her shock of reddish blonde hair and her wide eyes". Furthermore, Vincent referred to the series as "A great cross between shows like Deadman Wonderland and Seraph of the End, with dreadfully creepy characters and a narrative that keeps you guessing the whole way through".[272]

Allen Moody of THEM Anime Reviews gave the first season 4 out of 5 stars. Moody praised the series for its story and the characters' ability to "devise amazingly sophisticated strategies (and counter-strategies) that surprise the viewer as much as their foes", adding that the series "maintains a high level of psychological tension throughout, even though we're hit with unexpected explicit horror only a couple of times". Moody concluded: "I was fairly satisfied with the story we have here. There are heartbreaking developments and moments of pure horror, but the unquenchable human spirit is in here too".[273]

The second season of The Promised Neverland, in particular its final episode, received overwhelmingly negative reception for what many felt was a rushed and forced ending.[274] Reviewing the series' second season, Rafael Motamayor of Polygon said that while an original story is not necessarily a bad thing, the season, specifically from episode 5 onwards, broke the pacing and tension of its previous episodes. In comparing it to the 2003 Fullmetal Alchemist anime series, which changed from being a faithful adaptation to have an original story that "still captures the intention of the source material in a satisfying way", Motamayor wrote that The Promised Neverland anime was not planning on telling its own story, but rather skipping the chapters of the manga "to be done with the story as soon as humanly possible", still telling enough story that somewhat resembles the manga's plotline, "but taking way [sic] whatever made it impactful in the first place", adding that it was similar to the final season of Game of Thrones.[275]

Jairus Taylor of Anime News Network wrote that the anime adaptation of The Promised Neverland was a "total disaster". He explained that the anime changed the main focus of the original manga, which was meant to be a horror fantasy, as a "more linear version of Hunter x Hunter", instead of being a mystery thriller ("in the way its earliest chapters suggested"), as "the second coming of Death Note". Taylor commented that the anime "did a pretty good job delivering on suspense", but that it was at the expense of other elements that were vital to the original work's "larger ambitions", including entire cut out or trim down of world-building elements, the lack of internal monologues and characterization that diminished the motivations of certain characters and the simplification of the series' actual themes and its messaging. Regarding the second season, Taylor considered various possible reasons for the staff's decision to make the changes, but he wrote: "Regardless of what went down though, it doesn't really change the reality that the second season faceplanted pretty hard". Taylor concluded: "If the anime had chosen not to skip anything it could have still faced problems since it was arguably poorly equipped to handle anything past Grace Field. Either way, the end result here is really disappointing, The Promised Neverland manga was easily one of the most interesting and thoughtful entries to the shônen jump lineup. It's a shame that its anime counterpart failed to live up to its potential".[52]
